Catholic Bishop of Tombura-Yambio Eduardo Hiiboro Kussala condemns the violence ongoing in Tombura County.
He is appealing to the government to intervene to rescue the community exchanging gunshots, which has brought huge pain on the community by losing lives, displacement and destruction of properties.
Bishop Hiiboro is calling for peace in the diocese and above all in Tombura County where violence has erupted among the people.
The Catholic prelate says sitting down and resolve issues is the only way people can live in peace and harmony than fighting and being to kill families.
Bishop Hiiboro appeals to the people to stop that violence because it is not necessary.
The Catholic leader calls on the government of South Sudan to intervene and look into the issue of Tambura County and all communities of the county to stand by one another and resist the evil.
The civil society should make efforts to stop the ongoing violence in Tombura County because the effect of violence is not good it will continue to cause insecurity to people, the destruction of properties and people will remain in poverty, he pleads.
The bishop is organizing to visit the affected county as soon asking all parishes of Tombura-Yambio diocese to pray for those who have lost their beloved ones and total peace to the county.
The bishop talked to catholic radio Network on Thursday in Tambura-Yambio Catholic diocese.
