The Central Equatoria State Civil Society Network (CESCSN) has issued a powerful condemnation of the recent killings of innocent civilians in the Wuduraba Administrative Area of the Greater Equatoria Region. The group expressed its deep sorrow and shock in the wake of the brutal violence that led to loss of life, urging prompt action from authorities to address the situation.
In a heartfelt statement, CESCSN extended its condolences to the grieving families and underscored its unwavering solidarity with the community affected by the tragedy.

“Violence against innocent people must end if we are to build a peaceful and prosperous future for our nation,” the statement read. “The trauma inflicted on communities not only devastates families but also hampers our collective progress towards peacebuilding and unity.”
CESCSN is urging the South Sudanese government, security agencies, and relevant authorities to launch a thorough investigation into the incident and ensure that those responsible are held accountable. They called for an urgent response to restore faith in the rule of law and protect the rights of civilians.
In a plea to the South Sudanese people, CESCSN highlighted the need for unity and collective efforts to reject violence, advocating for peaceful initiatives that foster security and harmony.
As a committed advocate for human rights, democracy, and peaceful coexistence, CESCSN reiterated its readiness to collaborate with partners, communities, and authorities to restore peace in the affected areas and tackle the underlying causes of violence, reinforcing its relentless pursuit of justice and human dignity in South Sudan.
The recent tragic events have once again brought to light the urgent need for accountability and action to protect civilian lives in the ongoing journey towards a stable and peaceful South Sudan.
