Hope all South Sudanese people will hear the voice of peace and national dialogue in all corners to return South Sudan to its normalcy.
Below was the Statement of H.E. the President on the National Day of Prayers, planned for the March 10th, 2017.
My Dear People,
As your leader and the Patron for the National Dialogue, I am obliged to release this public statement to inform all our citizens and friends about the planned National Day of Prayers that's going to be held on March 10th, 2017.
Our time, as people who aspire for common destiny, is now ripe to turn to God and ask Him for forgiveness and blessings. We have not been that prefect and we need to submit ourselves to Almighty through prayers.
In this regard, I am appealing to all our citizens and friends to observe the following on that day;
1. We need to turnout in big numbers on that day to pray, repent and forgive each other for the problems that we might have committed against one another for the last four years. It should be the day we all pray to God and ask Him for forgiveness so that we start a new chapter in our relations as citizens of this nation.
2. I am also asking all State Governors to observe this Day (National Prayers Day) in their respective State Capitals. We have been going through untold suffering and it is time we should open up all avenues for our citizens to dialogue and pray together.
3. In the same spirit, we would wish to ask our Diaspora community to pray with us on this day so that we turn over our plight to Almighty God for the better year 2017. Via Maal Maker Thiong
