Yei, 14 August, 2022 / 9:55 pm (ACI Africa).
The Catholic Bishop of Yei Diocese in South Sudan has called upon South Sudanese refugees in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to go beyond their tribal differences, and to foster unity among themselves.
Addressing South Sudanese refugees at the Aba refugee settlement camp in DRC on August 9 during his pastoral visit, Bishop Alex Lodiong Sakor Eyobo said, “You came here from different tribes in South Sudan; you need to stay in unity because here you become one people.”
Bishop Lodiong who had earlier visited Mere refugee settlement camp added, “If you continue with this unity nothing evil would come and separate you here in DR Congo, because if you are not united, something bad will easily enter among you, and if it happens, it will disorganize you so much.”
“If there are bad people among you here, you should identify them immediately to know that this is a bad person,” the South Sudanese Bishop said.
The Local Ordinary of the South Sudanese Diocese that borders DRC encouraged the refugees to live their faith in fostering unity among themselves. He said, “We should work together to stop discrimination in the Church.”
