Message of Peace to the Community of Tonj East County
Dear Brothers and Sisters of Tonj East,
I greet you all in peace and with love for our land and people.
Our communities are blessed by God with many resources—our cows, goats, fertile lands, and the strength of our youth. These are not things to fight over but gifts to build our future. Let us not allow anger and division to destroy what God has graciously given us. Instead, let us rise together as one people—united in purpose and in brotherhood.
Fighting brings pain, loss, and poverty. But unity brings peace, growth, and prosperity. Our young people are full of energy and ideas—let us guide them into business and meaningful work that can uplift families and transform Tonj East into a place of hope and progress.
I urge every leader, elder, youth, and mother to speak peace, act in peace, and pursue peace. Let us turn our spears into ploughs, our disputes into dialogue, and our rivalry into cooperation.
This is the time to build. This is the time to invest in our resources and in each other. May God bless Tonj East with unity, peace, and a vision for a better tomorrow.
Together, we rise. Divided, we fall. Let us choose peace.
Thank you.
