The peace dialogue between the Ngok people of Abyei Administrative Area and the Twic of Warrap State – has come up with a nine-point resolution in Western Bahr el Ghazal to end violence between the two communities.

In a document dated October 1st, obtained by Eye Radio, representatives of the two areas agreed to stop the deadly cycle of violence that started in February this year.

The communique appealed to the conflicting communities to abstain from hostile propaganda and hate speech, and to adhere to the cessation of hostilities.

Both communities also resolved that chiefs, local authorities, youth, and women including politicians should hold an inclusive dialogue to declare an end to the violence.

They further agreed to allow humanitarian access to aid workers to deliver assistance to those displaced because of the conflict, among others.
