He appealed to all South Sudanese to collectively fight tribalism, saying it is through love for one another that the persistent internal conflicts can also be eradicated. “I urge my fellow countrymen to embrace peace and avoid war at all costs. We should stand up and tackle tribalism and as such South Sudan will emerge a strong and united nation”, he said.
