The inter-communal and clashes that are going on in the country need to be addressed with firmness as people continues to be killed for what could have been dialogued. Nowhere can one buy a human being and killing is a capital offence punishable with death penalty. The killings have gone too far and where reasoning should have taken place, the ready guns at hand comes in. This is not the life that should be experienced in an independent atmosphere. One the inter-communal fights over whatever reason(s) should be discouraged and done away with under the state administrations and the national government.The number of people reported killed on daily basis is alarming and shocking. There must be security on the ground to detect any wanting reason which could turn out to be the pending cause of any skirmishes. Where there is effective security system, hawk- eyed personnel would detect or be knowledgeable of any intended crime. Killing one or two people is a serious crime but how about killing over 30 people in a span of three days. The cultures that used to unite the communities as a one people is long gone or thrown out of the window. Sitting together and discussing differences are also not there anymore. Many have resorted to living their lives in isolation even bringing children under these norms. There is no room for knowing one another and becoming one people who can dialogue on any issue that may affect the family and community at large.The society must bring back the tolerant behaviours which could put to an end the current hostilities among people living together or neighboring one another. Above all, killings must stop for development to take roots in the country. These incidences are portraying negative images of the country.

The cost may be wanting but it should be understood that the world body FIFA is in the lead in contributing to and supporting the project. This time around the management of funds should be keenly monitored and the local football body put in focus to properly account...
From Easter to Pope’s Visit
By Guest Akol Arop Akol Odongo Odoyo Peace begins at home and to society and in the same way, conflict as part of human life could start from home (individuals) and then spread outside to affect others. This shows that the confusions that South Sudan has been going through are first from personal concepts and then escalated by those who don’t seek the truth out of rumors. Simply, an example could be a hate speech or one picking a gun to kill someone he has an issue with. When relatives...
Pay attention to Abyei issues
The two sisterly countries which should handle the Abyei problems seem too busy that they could not pay attention to the disputed land. Lives are perishing day by day, but there is no quick solution to bring peaceful settlement. Sudan is undergoing a serious political crisis which is characterized with demonstrations by citizens demanding a civilian government to be installed while South Sudan, on the other side, is also experiencing both political and communal conflicts despite the peace process going on. This means the two governments are very busy that...
