Shilluk leaders in Juba say they support Kiir’s dialogue initiative

JUBA (16 Mar.)

Prominent politicians from the Shilluk tribe in Juba said they fully back
the national dialogue initiative announced by President Salva Kiir in
December last year for the sake of peace in the country, read a statement
by the leaders.

The statement seen by Radio Tamazuj bears names and signatures of the
Speaker of the Council of States Joseph Bol Chan, Minister of Mining
Gabriel Thokuj, Minister of Roads Rebecca Joshua, including the two
governors of Fashoda and Central Upper Nile states.

The leaders acknowledged that the establishment of Central Upper Nile state
is the only way to resolve disputes between the Dinka and the Shilluk
tribes in Upper Nile state, calling on all parties to resolve all disputes
through dialogue.

The statement also called on the UN and other aid agencies to urgently
provide aid assistance to the needy people of Fashoda and Central Upper
Nile states.

Last week, the Shilluk King Kwongo Dak Padiet accused the government of
carrying out what he termed as “ethnic cleansing against his people” in Wau
Shilluk and its surrounded areas
