The Auxiliary Bishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of Juba has discovered
that government is responsible for damaging the national economy as some of
its senior officials own herds of cattle driven all the way from Bahr El
Ghazal region to the extreme borders of Equatoria region with Uganda to
disrupt crop farming.

Bishop Santo Loku Pio says unless communal attacks, robbery, land grabbing
and cattle pastoralists’ movement destroying crops are ended, chaos is
likely to continue rocking the country, Radio Bakhita reported.

He recommends immediate repatriation of cattle herds from Equatoria to Bahr
El Ghazal region, wondering how economic crisis in the country can be
overcome through agriculture when crop farming continues to be hampered by
roaming cattle herders.

Bishop Loku advises South Sudanese to take the message of peace, love and
reconciliation among God created communities seriously regardless of cost
or outcome.

The bishop in his homily at St Theresa’s Cathedral English Congregation
laments about the plight of Internally Displaced Persons or IDPs in United
Nations protection sites.
