This follows a weekend meeting in Juba that brought together about 20 local chiefs, other community leaders, and the Ruweng Chief Administrator, Peter Daau Chopkuer.<\/p>\n<p>Ayat Ngor Ajach, the paramount chief of the Ruweng Administrative Area in Juba, told The City Review after the meeting that their focus was on how the community could co-exist and put cyclic violence in the past.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs you may be aware, there were disagreements a few weeks ago between the host community and some friends with whom they had previously lived together, though our government on the ground was able to resolve the issues,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>However, Ajach said there was still a need to keep more than before, adding the area leaders came together to seek ways to tackle the challenges facing the area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs chiefs in Juba, we felt we could make a significant contribution to enhancing long-term peace in the region, so we organised this meeting,\u201d chief Ajach explained.<\/p>\n<p>He said there were many difficulties that communities in the Ruweng Administrative Area had been dealing with. Ajach reiterated that the government and the communities in the area need to work together to address those challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Flooding, instability, and other challenges barring the provision of food to individuals displaced by the floods were among the topics they discussed, Ajach revealed. He stressed the importance of long-term peace in the region, arguing that it would help address all the difficulties.<\/p>\n<p>He urged his communities and the area\u2019s internally displaced persons (IDPs) to coexist, adding it was time for the country to start forgiving each other and forgetting about the past.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSouth Sudan belongs to all of us. We are children of this country, South Sudan, meaning I can go and settle somewhere, but that does not mean that I do not have to be respected and vice-versa. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>Although calm has returned to the area, Ajach said giving more support to the government to preach peace was the most important thing to build confidence among the communities in the area.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-sudan\">South-Sudan<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
