Episcopal priest brutally killed in Yei town

YEI (13 Mar.)

An Episcopal priest was found dead on the outskirts of Yei town along the
Juba-Mukaya road in Yei River State on Friday, a religious leader said.
Rev. Simon Kwaje who was working as a priest at the Emmanuel Cathedral was
found brutally killed on Friday.

The motive behind the incident remains unclear.Speaking to Radio Tamazuj
Sunday, Margret Jamba, Archdeacon of the Episcopal Church in Yei, confirmed
the incident and urged the state government to investigate the killing of
the religious leader and take the perpetrator to court.“Your Excellency the
Governor, as I speak to you now, I want to inform you that I am heartbroken
because of the brutal killing of my hard working church member,” she
said.“We need investigations into this case. We are just poor people and we
don’t know why the army has started targeting preachers. If we want the
dialogue, reconciliation and forgiveness to yield fruits, then let the bad
things like the continuous killings of innocent civilians stop, ”she
stressed.

The incident took place on the national day of prayers which was called for
by President Salva Kiir.
