South Sudan: Peacebuilding Event Holds In Terekeka County
In South Sudan, a gathering of over 500 people was held in Freedom Square, Terekeka County, to renew a commitment to peace ahead of elections scheduled for December 2024.
The outreach event was a collaboration between the United Nations Mission in South Sudan, the African Theological Leadership School and the Central Equatoria State Ministry of Peacebuilding.
Targeting community leaders and citizens alike, the event emphasised the need for South Sudanese to come together to build peace and prosperity.
The Director General for the state’s Ministry of Peace Building, Laurence Musoke Samuel, said that it was the responsibility of all to foster peace.
“Our families are vital to fostering peace at the community, county, state, and national levels. It begins with each one of us, and it is in our homes that we should pass on the values of social cohesion and unity,” he said.
