July 18, 2016 (SSB) — The disagreement between the two sons of Dinka and Nuer tribes in the Republic of South Sudan needs the elders from both sides to sit and strategize how to resolve the conflict between them if there is a possibility of doing it.

The world at large knows very well that, the two rivals and their allies are after the power which is obvious to every intellectual in the country but to persist on this power struggle which takes the lives of innocent people then there will be no time to deliver the social services to the citizens.

It will be good if the elders find the possible solutions to solve these burning issues with other bodies of peacemakers to join hands for the sake of peace and development in our country.

South Sudan belongs to all tribes and no single tribe that can claim the ownership than others and being our beloved country it’s our duty to make it a better place to live in than making it a war zone.

As matter of fact, President Salva Kiir and his First Vice President Dr. Riek, will not dare to reject the proposal if they want the peace to prevail in South Sudan. The fact that, they come from their tribes and the sitting will be negotiated by the elders then they will understand the decisions of elders regardless of their differences.

South Sudan needs team work from its citizens regardless of their tribes where they belong for the sake of peace. They must put in their minds that, they are one nation, one people and one tribe which is South Sudan.
