SOUTH SUDAN: Bishop urges the warring parties to respect the civilian

Rt. Rev. Erkolano Lodu Tombe, Bishop of Yei

The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Yei has urged the warring parties who are fighting in the bush to respect lives of the civilian.

According to a report by Easter Radio, Bishop Erkolano Lodu Tombe says both the government and armed groups should not involve the civilian in their differences because members of the public are not part of their problem.

Bishop Lodu added that the church will continue to lobby those in authority to respect the human dignity of South Sudanese.

He warned that if the government or armed groups continue to attack innocent people, they might force them to turn against them.

The Bishop was reacting following the displacement of over 1500 people from Jansuk and Minyori by armed oppositions in the area

No armed group has claim the responsibility for the clash yet.
