Church offers to take charge of mobilization for peace talks Saturday, 21 January 2012 13:38 South Sudan >>> .The Sudan Council of Churches' Peace Initiative has offered to take charge of the mobilization process of the warring communities in Jonglei State, South Sudan at the peace and reconciliation talks.
The Chairman of the Council, Archbishop Daniel Deng Bull of the Episcopal Church of Sudan, disclosed this to the press in Juba on Friday. "Various committees from the churches will be formed because we want to take over what we call mobilization on the ground. Especially at this time, we will form committees from the different churches to go to the ground and be with the people in the ground," Bishop Deng said. "This is going to be a long process; we are going to engage in long term solution for peace dividends, peace mobilization and peace building until we are convinced of the hearts of our communities so that they are brought to the table together," the bishop explained. The Bishop expressed deep regrets over the deplorable ethically based violence in Jonglei state that has claimed scores of lives of people and 150,000 displaced, requiring urgent assistance according to the United Nations.
