The Catholic Archbishop of Juba Most Rev
Paolino Lukudu  has described the
Politics of South

Archbishop Paolino Lukudu

Sudan as ‘‘immature,’’ characterized with tribalism,
weaknesses in administration and governance and poor government setup.

According to CRN Archbishop Paolino Lukudu
Loro strongly criticized the political ambience of South Sudan and said that it
does not reflect a real democracy. He called on religious leaders in the
country to work hard in embracing peace in the country.

The Archbishop said that the fact that South
Sudanese live in one country does not necessarily mean that people should be
from one background. He added that the ongoing fighting in the country was just
because of division among people and that there was need to bridge that gap of
tribalism.

Commenting on the peace talks going in Addis
Ababa,  Ethiopia; Archbishop Lukudu said
there was nothing fruitful being discussed in the peace talks because the two
delegations were the same people who caused the problem and continue to point
fingers at one another.

Archbishop Lukudu urged the mediating body to
involve the international community and the church in order to speed up the
talks and find out the root causes of the conflict.
