Bishop Kussala urged the leaders of South Sudan to embrace forgiveness by allowing Christ in their midst in order to grow in unity for everlasting peace in the country.
He added that the important aspect of forgiveness is freedom of the past “Forgiveness means reconciliation, and “forgiving ourselves and others is like watering parched, forgiveness softens and renews your spirit and brings back to life” he explained.
He calls on all South Sudanese to distance themselves from hatred, hate speech, and inciting violence rather than resolve and let go of feelings of hatred.
