BOR, OCTOBER 27, 2023 (SUDANS POST) – The governor of South Sudan’s Jonglei state Denay Jock Chagor is calling on the citizens of his state to peacefully co-exist among themselves.

Chagor made the call during an address on Tuesday morning an even for the commemoration of the United Nations Day in Jonglei state’s capital Bor where he said citizens should have same spirit of building peace in the restive state.

“If the spirit of peace that we are hearing from our children is the spirit we have, imagine where we would be right now.  We would be ahead. The spirit we have when we are in public is not the same spirit we have when we are in our offices and houses. We have different ways of making peace and that’s why peace is so hard to us,” Chagor stated.

The governor emphasized that peace means forgiveness and having understanding with other people within society.

“Peace is not only saying that I forgive you lets work together that is not it. Peace is when you have to forgive somebody inside your heart without talking to them. Peace is making sure that you have understanding and not just criticizing somebody when they are not doing what you want, and peace is not that you have to get what you want all the time,” he said.

“As the governor of Jonglei state, I would work that we keep this peace and to those that don’t want it we will expose it and to those who accept it we would work with you,” he added.

Chagor urged citizens to refrain from the political noise saying it drags back the process of peace among the citizens.

“We must do it within ourselves to make sure that we keep this peace and this peace continue we are not going to be dragged back with noise of politic I know some people would like to pay attention on politic,” he added.
