Yei Catholic Bishop urges South Sudanese to ask for forgiveness from God and also forgive one another.
Bishop Erkolano Lodu Tombe says citizens and government officials need to unite as loving brothers and sisters in Christ in the year of mercy, Radio Easter reports.
It is time for citizens to reconcile and stop killing one another, he appeals.
Christians should try all possible means to avoid repeating confessed sins, he says.
The bishop says once God has forgiven a person he or she becomes a new creation.
