The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Yei asks the state government to allow the religious leaders to mediate and find out the grievances of armed groups.
Bishop Erkolano Lodu Tombe says their priority is to meet the armed groups either together or as individuals, Radio Easter reports.
The Catholic prelate believes that people are tired of the word peace without assurance of proper security in the country.
Bishop Lodu questions the number of armed groups in the bushes and where their loyalty lies.
The Bishop was speaking to Radio Easter in an interview on Thursday in Yei.
