SOUTH SUDAN: CRS Conducts a Five Day Training on Conflict and Analysis

Church leaders from former Western Equatoria State have received a five-day training on conflict and analysis in Yambio, Gbudue State this week.

The training which brought together church leaders from the six counties was organized by South Sudan Council of Churches in collaboration with Catholic Relief Service (CRS).

Episcopal Bishop Samuel Enosa Peni of Nzara Diocese said that the training aimed at strengthening their capacity.

Bishop Enosa added that apart from sharing ideas and establish that spirit of working together for Church leaders the training will help them with Peace building skills on how they will contribute in bringing peace to Western Equatoria and South Sudan at large.

“To work for sustainable peace needs skills of analyzing conflict and how to address it peacefully,” he said.

Bishop Eduardo Hiiboro Kusala of the Catholic Diocese of Tombura Yambio thanked the Inter-Church Committee for organizing the workshop. He said that it is time for action to move forward.

Pia Philip Michael, Gbudue Education Minister asked the participants to speak against gender -based violence and other malpractices. He believed that the social ills are letting the communities behind.

Philip Michael encouraged the Churches to continue keeping people together in Christ.
