Members of the Central Equatoria State Youth Union have resolved their differences that have caused division within the body, stalling its activities for a year.

This was on 4, September during a one-day reconciliation forum with the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS).

The dialogue held under the theme: “Fostering Unity among Youth” aimed to address the internal disputes and power wrangles within the union.

Speaking to Eye Radio, Charles Lado, the Chairperson of Central Equatoria Youth Union said, the members’ political affiliations and lack of internal regulations within the union were to blame.

“We also acknowledge that the Youth’s political affiliation, non-respect of internal regulations within the union, lack of trust among ourselves, and misunderstanding have caused division within the Youth.”

According to Lado, there was a lack of trust among the members which resulted in the misunderstanding.

But the members have now resolved to put their differences behind them and reunite.

“The resolutions that came out yesterday are as follows; First of all, we recognize the negative impact of the division that has existed within the Youth Union for the last twelve months and its implications on the activities.

“Central Equatoria Youth Union has really split the union and therefore, we have reunited and left all this,” he added.
