Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan\u2019s minister of presidential affairs, Bangasi Joseph Bakasoro, on Wednesday called on South Sudanese to forgive each other and reconcile during this Christmas festivals.<\/p>\n

Bakasoro made this call in an audio voice message shared with Sudans Post on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us join hands to celebrate this Christmas with joy and happiness. Let us forget and forgive those who did bad to us, it will not take us anyway,\u201d Bakasoro said in his Christmas message.<\/p>\n

Bakasoro called for unity and forgiveness among the citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this Christmas, it is my happiness, and it is my wish that all corners of South Sudan will be peaceful. All corners of South Sudan should be happy, and all corners of South Sudan should forgive each other,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The senior government official also appealed to citizens to celebrate this Christmas with joy and happiness and reconciliation.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us celebrate this day with joy and happiness and reconciliation. I am aware of diversity of the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am aware of differences among ethnic groups in South Sudan, but division will never take us forward,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The Presidential envoy urged South Sudanese to learn from experience of Rwanda.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need unity for a purpose; we need love among ourselves and let us learn from Rwanda experience. People fought, people killed themselves, people hate each other but at the end of the day, today Rwandans are unity, it is the same for South Sudan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hate each other, we fought, we killed each other and there are good people who are living well and there are those who can\u2019t live well.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the rich and we have the poor and we have the middle class but all of us are South Sudanese,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He stressed the need for the citizens to open a new page saying South Sudan is bigger individual.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you killed my brother, I will hate you but my brother will never come again. If you killed my father, my sister, my mother, and you continue hating me, those people are not coming back,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy don\u2019t we open a new page and say South Sudan is our country. South Sudan is bigger than our hatred,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
