South Sudan: WCC General Secretary - War in South Sudan Must End Now

press release

"The senseless war in South Sudan must end now," said the World Council of Churches (WCC) general secretary Rev. Dr Olav Fykse Tveit, following the pastoral visit of a high-level ecumenical delegation to local churches in Juba, South Sudan on 2 May.

"It is shocking to see how leaders in both parties involved in the conflict have led their own people to such pain and suffering," Tveit said. "From the stories I was told, it is impossible to comprehend the scale of killings and atrocities taking place."
