Speaking with AMECEA Online News, the
Coordinator of the Capacity Building Project at the AMECEA Secretariat Ms.
Christine Mbugi said the decision was arrived at after consultations with the
Sudan Catholic Bishop’s Conference (SCBC) Secretary General Rev. Fr. Jacob
Odwa.
“South Sudan was going
through a difficult period and this was not the right time to conduct the
training” said the SCBC Secretary General adding that “The tension is high in
the country but efforts are been done from the political, civil society and
church sphere to restore peace and attend to humanitarian crisis.”

According to Ms Mbugi
AMECEA was in agreement with the postponement for that in such a situation, the
participants who were supposed to be drawn from both Sudan and South Sudan may
not be psychologically ready for the leadership training until the situation on
the ground is safe and calm. “We continue to pray that peace and calm is quickly restored in South
Sudan,” she said.
