South Sudan bishop warns leaders to ‘repent’, admit mistakes

From South Sudan-

Bishop Enock Tombe of the Episcopal Church of South Sudan says that political leaders have messed up the country and want to run away from justice, warning that politicians of whatever allegiance will face opposition from the church if they continue to wage war.

“We in the church will work against those who killed people, took away the people’s prosperity and have not repented,” he said.

The Bishop of Rejaf Diocese warned the warring parties to the conflict in South Sudan to observe the peace agreement signed in May, stressing that the leaders are being closely watched.

“Our message as the church is very clear: The war must first stop,” said the bishop.

Enock Tombe, who participated in the Addis Ababa peace talks as a member of the delegation of religious leaders, told Radio Tamazuj in an interview on Wednesday that ‘truth-telling’ and ‘justice’ must come after the guns fall silent.
