The Episcopal Church of South Sudan and Sudan is rallying 200 Youth Peace Mobilisers and Campaigners to storm eight counties and 15 cattle camps on January 7-21 in Lakes State, targeting youth with messages urging them to consider living in peace and stop revenge killings among themselves.

The Christian Youth Ministry (commonly known among the Dinka Christians as Jol-Wo-Liec or God Look Back On Us) from three clusters of the Episcopal Church of South Sudan including Upper Nile, Torit Missionary Cluster and Bhar el Gazal, under the leadership and guidance of the Archbishop and Primate of the Episcopal Church of South Sudan and Sudan Dr. Daniel Deng Bul has initiated a massive peace mobilization and campaign process in Lakes State targeting youths from troubled counties and cattle camps.

Stressing the importance of this peace campaign, the Primate noted with great concern that the church is distressed about instability among the communities in South Sudan in general and specially with the current ongoing situation in Lakes States.

"We are troubled by the vicious revenge killings habitually rising among the communities of Lakes State. This has raised a gross concern to the church," says the Primate in a letter to local leaders calling for support.

The Most Reverend Daniel Deng Bul who also chairs South Sudan National Committee for Peace, Healing and Reconciliation, recently had a pastoral visit to the people of Lakes State and he was confronted with concern of growing revenge killing in the communities of Dinka Agaar and others.
