have already carried out our plans and we made an necessary measures
and our organized forces are ready to protect all the churches within
the state and hopefully the Christmas will be done without any
problem,” assured Acho.

the protection innocent civilians need”.

without causing havoc in their respective places.
Stressing the need for unity among all, he said “Let me tell you all,
Muslims and Christians that let the coming year 2017 be a peaceful
year in our state and South Sudan as whole.”
Acho also warned dissidents holding armed against South Sudan
government particularly those around Wau state to accept all forms of
peace dialogue and return home.
“Our president Salva Kiir and his deputy Taban Deng Gai are ready for
peace implementation. My message to our sisters and brothers from this
state who are holding guns is that let us accept the peace and listen
to the orders from Juba about peace,” further said the governor.
He added, “Our president launched the national dialogue, so let’s
accept one another for the sake of peace.”
