The Mission is focusing on peace and reconciliation modalities among the people of lake state who are killing themselves massively without a good reason.
January 16, 2015 (SSB) — First and foremost we thank the Almighty God for the mercy and His protection upon us as people of South Sudan since last year 2014 till 2015.
This article is the response to the article published by Panluel e wel website on 15th Jan 2015 title “ Archbishop of South Sudan and Sudan (ECSS & S) his Grace Dr. Daniel Deng Bul Yak, calling for a creation of Greater Agaar Administrative Area (GAAA) as the solution to the ongoing conflict”
We want to clarify this information to the entire public that, the information public by panluele wel website is baseless and actually has no root to be considered.
The high delegation led by archbishop of South Sudan (ECSS & S) his grace Dr. Daniel Deng Bul Yak including 9 other bishops, over30 priests and 104 Jol-Wo-lieec members is mainly for peace and reconciliation in lake state for period of fourteen (14) days. The Mission is focusing on peace and reconciliation modalities among the people of lake state who are killing themselves massively without a good reason.
We have nothing to do with politics or administration of the country. We have never blame government or put any challenge to any authority both in central and state government. The delegation is to change the hearts of our people to consider peace and reconciliation through forgiveness of one another and also to deliver message of GOD to those young men who are actually found of doing wrong things such as killing of women, children, elders, community leaders (sultans) and pastors and also to refrain from stealing some people cows because if you keep on stealing then you will bring a curse to your people.
The Archbishop and the team are further more encouraging the Agaar community to be united and live as one people but to expel out from clan to clan fighting that has no benefit at all.
However, we are not here to preach politics but we are to make solution to our people. We cannot just create problem to solve problem but to see possibilities of improving our people spirit of revenge and together think about the way forward to stabilize the situation of lake state people.
We don’t think whether situation of Agaar is related to Pibor issue as indicated in the article published by Paanluele wel. Therefore, Agaar community is not affected by any tribe in-order to be separated from other community and they are not fighting for administrative Area. The main mandate for the delegation is to campaign for peace to the people of lakes state and to transform them to behave like good citizen in the nation.
In conclusion, we would like to inform the general public that we would soon release statement after completion of mission. The statement would exams the policy of the ongoing problem and general analysis made by high delegation. For this reason we are requesting everybody to wait for the official communication that will entail the causes of fight in the Lakes and how Peace can be brought to them as part of modalities and solution to it.
