Church leaders have created a mediation initiative to reach out to various political stakeholders who are neither signatories to the 2018 peace deal nor delegates to the Tumaini initiative.
In statement to Eye Radio newsroom, the church leaders said the initiative involved in sideline consultations, will seek to know the position and views of stakeholders and the intention is not to convince stake holders to join Tumaini or not.
The religious leaders said they were keen to see a conflict resolution process that is all inclusive and acceptable to all stakeholders without any reservations.
He added that the objective is not to convince stakeholders to join Tumaini.
The initiative, according to Dr. Paul Yugusuk who is the Archbishop of Central Equatoria Internal Province of the Episcopal Church of South Sudan the group, is the only guarantee for sustainable and durable peace in South Sudan.
“We are in the process of consulting key stakeholders to the South Sudan peace process including our own senior church leaders, civil society representatives, delegations at the Tumaini peace process, senior government officials, senior officials of the opposition parties as well as the non-signatories to R-ACRSS who are part of Tumaini Peace Initiative and those who are not.
Bishop Yugusuk added that the Church Leaders Mediation Initiative will develop a detailed report on the consultation, which will be shared with the South Sudan Council of Churches.
