By Abraham Agoth *AWEIL, 9 February 2014 - *Hon. Lilly Albino Akol Akol made the appeal during the General Women Association of Northern Bahr el Ghazal's meeting held at their Headquarters in the state's capital, Aweil. She said the country has witnessed enough violence and now remains time for amicable problem-solving between the two warring parties within the new nation. "What happened in mid December last year has consequently caused the loss of lives of innocent citizens of the Republic of South Sudan," Ms Akol said. "Those that were mostly affected in these crises were women and children; and as such our leaders have agreed to amicably resolve the misunderstanding that happened." In a special message to Mama Nyandeng, Minister Akol said: "As our honoured mother of the new nation, she needs not to be thinking of sticking to unrest in the country but instead she would have a motherly heart so that she follows amicable dialogues and come back home for final resolutions on peace deal." The Mid-December internal power struggle within the ruling SPLM party degenerated into internal armed conflict pitting armed loyalists of President Kiir and his former deputy Machar against each other. President Kiir called it a "coup attempt" but Machar denied it, saying it is a ploy to eliminate the president's critics. Dr. Machar and his followers however accuse president Kiir of dictatorship, saying they want a democratic South Sudan government for which they are fighting. The conflict quickly spread to Bor, Bentiu, Malakal and the latest in Tonj North county of Warrap state. It has worsened the humanitarian challenges in the country as almost 900,000 people have been displaced and are in dire need of assistance.
