Greater Jonglei s peace is progressing well: officials
Communities of Jonglei State and their neighbours in the Greater Pibor Administrative Area (GPAA) are peacefully co-existing following a peace conference held in Juba early this year, an official said.
On 27 January, a three-day peace conference by communities of Greater Jonglei Dinka, Nuer, Murle, and Anyuak concluded in Juba, with the communities agreeing to bury their differences and peacefully coexist.
The initiative is part of government efforts to restore peace to Jonglei following last year’s months-long deadly clashes involving youth from Dinka, Nuer, and Murle.
Among the key resolutions were the recovery of abducted children from all sides, return of raided cattle, creation of joint police, a buffer zone, a common market, local courts, and punishment of the deal violators.
