“Love Your Neighbor – A United Call for Peace, Justice and Lasting Goodwill Along Our Shared Border” is the subject of an Open Letter from the Bishop of Liwolo to the Presidents of Uganda and South Sudan. The Rt Revd Joseph Aba Nicanor’s letter was sent following border conflicts on July 28, when eight people died.
As reported in Anglican News, the incident took place on shared borders in the Nyaingamuda area, Bori Boma of Kangapo II Payam, Kajo-Keji. News reports state that the violence claimed the lives of at least eight soldiers, between Uganda People’s Defense Force (UPDF) and South Sudan People’s Defence Force (SSPDF).
The church has been providing support, including searching for families, identifying lost or separated children, providing humanitarian assistance and spiritual comfort to those affected.
