It is time for South Sudanese people to clearly and loudly say no to anybody who wants to mobilize them to fight, says Governor of Maridi State.
Africano Mande says South Sudanese people have experienced a lot of pain over years, so let nobody pick up arms against the government and the people.
Governor Mande says Maridi is one of the most peaceful states all over the country manifested by harmonious celebrations of Christmas and the New Year.
The good conduct of the security agents, SPLA, police and national security personnel contribut to peace in Maridi, Mande believes.
The civilians always work hand-in-hand with the local authorities, the governor adds.
Governor Mande wishes the people of Maridi State and South Sudan at large a happy New Year.
