Civil Society Calls for Ceasefire and Return to Dialogue

In this episode of the Miraya Breakfast Show, Bol Deng Bol, Chairperson of the Jonglei Civil Society Network, speaks on the worsening security situation in Jonglei State and the network’s call for an immediate end to hostilities. He describes ongoing displacement, fear among civilians, and the spread of violence across several counties, warning that continued fighting undermines the 2018 peace agreement. Bol Deng Bol urges all parties to observe an immediate ceasefire and return to dialogue, stressing that the conflict is political rather than ethnic, and appeals to communities and youth not to be drawn into violence but to support non-violent solutions as the only path to lasting peace.
