The Bishop Erkolano Tomber uttered the statement at the comfort of his home on Sunday. The Bishop further calls on the warring parties in Yei River State to respect the cessation of hostilities which they signed and stop the confrontation which is currently on going in Yei River County.

The Bishop is calling for prayers from all the South Sudanese and all the other religious group in the country to pray for the country. He believes through prayer and fasting can the country truly achieve peace.

Yei River State conflict started from the issue of land grabbing. The land grabbing triggered lots of ethnic conflicts. Yei River State which was initially known as the small London started to fall apart since they never wanted to give their land to a different ethnic community.

Yei River State is a city in South Sudan borders Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) it is one of the business Hub in South Sudan leading to an attraction of traders from all over the countries and also the countries bordering the state.
