Churches in Southern Sudan pray for peaceful elections
By Philip Thon Aleu
On the 6th December 2009 Church leaders converged to pray for unity and
peace in Jonglei (Southern Sudan) ahead of 2010 general elections.
Under the theme: ’Say no to guns during elections/referendum’ a
presiding bishop tells armed youths to hand illegal arms to the
government rather killing themselves.
Bishop of Bor diocese (Anglican Church) Nathaniel Garang Anyieth
explains that God will answer “our prayers... God is great.” "Give guns
to the government," tells him to over 5,000 people from 25 churches of
various denominations in Bor Town Freedom Square. “If you refuse to
hand arms [to organized forces], we shall pray and that gun will turn
against you,” he warns.
The midday function was organized by Jonglei state committee on small
arms and light weapons in collaboration with South Sudan bureau for
community security and small arms control. The organizers spoke with
confidence of peaceful disarmament having had a two days workshop
earlier on small arms control with cattle keepers. The need for
voluntary disarmament and how small arms – in the hands of civilians
are obstacle to the implement of Comprehensive Peace Agreement and
democratization process in the country, were also discussed.
Elizabeth Ayen, who chairs the state committee on light weapons, told
the Sudan Tribune why she thinks disarmament is possible than before.
"We are seeing local people lying down their guns in many counties.
This is explanation that people are realizing the importance of peace,"
she says in reference to reports that northern Counties of Uror, Ayod
and Nyirol have started peaceful disarmament by handing guns to local
authorities.
In Bor on Sunday the 6th, churches marched through the town before the
prayer for freedom that lasted about 3 hours. Different Church groups
and ethnic communities lead the prayer. The prayer came two days after
South Sudan Bureau for Community Security and Small Arms Control
briefed Jonglei state ministers on strategies to disarm local people.
The bureau urges that each state has an agreed security strategy and
action plan, reactivate dry season courts and ensures that adequate
security is provided by organized armed forces before commencing
disarmament.
Chuol Gew Nhial, the deputy chairman of South Sudan told reporters on
Friday in Bor that "peaceful disarmament is the best". Mr. Gew,
however, recommends using SPLA forces as "deter" for efficiency of
voluntary disarmament. Recognizing that South Sudan armed forces could
not be stationed at communities borders at time, the Bureau, proposes
that Juba government should divide the ten states into four clusters of
disarmament.
Jonglei and Upper Nile states fell in one cluster as Lakes, Warrap and
Unity states in another. Eastern, Central and Western Equatoria states
are grouped together as Western and Northern Bar-El Ghazel states fell
in one cluster. Jonglei welcomed the plan but expressed concern on
disarming neighboring armed communities at different time. The example
is Bor and Mundari who are odd neighbors that fell in different
clusters. Another example is Teposa and Murle of Jonglei state that
share a rough border but could be disarmed one after the other. The
most challenge, however, is that each every community want to witness
neighbors’ disarmament commencing before giving-in their guns.
The year 2009 has seen many tribal attacks. About 2,000 people are
killed in Southern Sudan this year and more than half of this figure
are Jonglei citizens. Alongside poor rains, tribal conflicts in Jonglei
state has created wide food gap.
If church prayers could a breakthrough, the state welcomes. Deputy Gov.
Hussein Mar Nyuot led the government representatives in the prayer
today at Freedom Square. Mr. Nyuot praised the church leaders’
intervention and argues the armed youths to cooperate with calls for
voluntary disarmament.
