Women Tasked To Help Government Bring Peace
Eastern Equatoria State women have been kindly requested and tasked by the state authorities to take a lead in peace building role by moving to fellow rural women especially among warring communities to lobby for them to launch a peace campaign. 20 April 2013 By Peter Lokale Nakimangole TORIT, 20 April 2013 [Gurtong] –The campaign is to focus on their respective husbands who have been obsessed with raiding activities including killing practices to gradually abandon them in the state. As advisory way to tuning them to convey important message to their rural fellow women especially among warring communities, the State Deputy Governor Jerome Gama Surur who made the remarks on the occasion of International Women’s Day Cerebration held in Torit tasked the State women especially the civilized ones to reach rural women in remote areas with an aim to launch mass campaigns on their respective husbands who have been obsessed with raiding activities. He badly appealed to the informed women to compassionately educate them. “We are appealing to you our dear enlightened women of EES to compassionately talk to your fellow rural women in remote areas more especially those of warring communities to stop rampant raiding. We want them to be like you and us who love everyone irrespective of ethnic groupings. We want those men with old attitudes to change minds because we want to leave the past and dwell in present. Raiding and killings always have repercussions; deaths hence resulted into burden of widows and orphans in the society,” the State Deputy Governor Surur pleaded. “I strongly appeal to you, let us all be proactive in pursuing peace in us; among those of our communities who are still warring. Let us engage them to live in harmony. Co-existence among our communities must begin now and not tomorrow! Let us live peacefully,” he asserted.
