United Nations Mission in South Sudan Civil Affairs Division held a one-day workshop on peacebuilding and reconciliation for residents of Aweil North County, Northern Bahr El Ghazal State, on Friday.<\/p>\n
The meeting was attended by chiefs, women, youth, and residents as a whole at Gok-Machar, the Aweil North County headquarters.<\/p>\n
One of the youths who attended the workshop told this outlet by phone that they were taken through conflict resolution methods.<\/p>\n
Deng Garang Bol, deputy youth chairperson in the area, described the workshop as fruitful and educative.<\/p>\n
“It was a nice workshop on Friday, as we were told that it is through conflict resolution that a successful, viable, or vibrant society can be built,” he said.<\/p>\n
He added that nothing can be achieved in a violent society where everything is taken out of hand.<\/p>\n
Garang stated that they are happy as a youth to propagate such peace messages to other youth and residents of Aweil North County who didn\u2019t attend the workshop.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the commissioner of Aweil North County, Mr. Kiir Chan Wol, lauded the initiative taken by the UNMISS Civil Affairs Division for making the right decision to come to their areas.<\/p>\n
He revealed that his country is still at peace, but some people have a stake in creating problems.<\/p>\n
“There are cases of people who have minor court cases with others, and when chiefs solve them, they never accept those, and still they prolong those grudges,” he said.<\/p>\n
“If such workshops are addressed, including domestic violence, then they can be addressed in such a forum,” Chan stated.<\/p>\n
The Civil Affairs Division is going to be carrying out such conflict resolution forums across the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
