South Sudanese Coalition of Episcopal Churches Call for Cessation of Violence in South Sudan

From All Africa-

As a spiritual body, South Sudan Coalition of Episcopal Churches in the United States is concerned with the level of violence taking place in Juba, Bortown, Akobo and other areas of South Sudan. As a body of Christ, South Sudan Coalition of Episcopal Churches in the United States strongly condemned senseless killing of civilians.

As a result:

A. We are urging President Kiir's government to declare:

Ceasefire and refrain from escalating the conflict

Protect all civilians across the country

Agree to dialogue as a way to resolve any political differences

B. We are urging Dr. Riek Machar and all dissatisfied parties to:

Accept ceasefire and/or initiate ceasefire

Adhere to principles of democracy that they are advocating

Protect civilians, respect their rights and properties in towns and/or areas under their control
