Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Civil society activists have urged the government to find an immediate ceasefire over the ongoing conflict between Gen. Simon Gatwech\u2019s forces and the Agwelek group of Johnson Olony in Upper Nile State.<\/p>\n

The concern comes after several reports of attacks that led to the loss of many lives, while thousands of innocent people remain displaced in some parts of Upper Nile.<\/p>\n

In a press statement released yesterday, Edmund Yakani, the Executive Director of Community Empowerment for Progress Organization (CEPO), called on the political leadership to develop an immediate solution to end the conflict.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy voice is urging you to stop being silent and watch what is going on,\u201d Yakani said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we speak now, crimes against humanity are being committed through the violence that is going on between Twic Dinka and Ngok and another one between the forces of Gatwech and Olony,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The activist wants the government to use all possible means to make sure the conflict in Upper Nile and other parts of the country come to end the conflict.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy should we maintain silence and watch them? \u201cTime has come for an immediate solution to be enforced …so that these forces are urged to sit on a dialogue table,\u201d Yakani stressed.<\/p>\n

According to Yakani, the clashes between Twic Dinka and Ngok Dinka, and the conflict pitting forces allied to Simon Gatwech and those in Johnson Olony\u2019s camp are crimes against humanity.<\/p>\n

Yakani alleged that the conflicts are politically motivated by malicious individuals hell-bent on fueling violence.<\/p>\n

However, Bol Deng Bol Chairperson of Jonglei Civil Society Network called for the government to interfere and bring the conflict to an end<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is almost a week now since fighting erupted in Upper Nile State and no steps have been taken to stop it,\u201d Bol said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe R-TGONU should take responsibility, hold perpetrators accountable and prescribe a remedy for the damage caused.\u201d<\/p>\n
