The Chair of Christian Aid called for an urgent action to end the deadly conflict in South Sudan.
Rite Reverend Rowan Williams said the recent escalation of violent conflict in Juba has caused more terrible suffering for the people of South Sudan.
He regretted that it is as so often the poorest and most vulnerable who bear the burden of the violence by losing lives, loved ones and homes.
Dr Williams said the recent hostilities have demonstrated the fragility of the peace agreement.
The Church leader affirmed South Sudanese cry for peace and he stands with them in prayer.
He called on the parties to the conflict, communities and leaders to ‘create an atmosphere where violence is not an option’.
