NUER - DINKA LOKI ACCORD
Lokichokio June 2-10, 1998
Nuer and Dinka Chiefs and Church leaders have met in a peace and reconciliation meeting in Lokichokio Kenya under the auspices of the New Sudan Council of Churches (NSCC).
We now issue this call for peace among our people.
After 15 years of conflict, we the joint committee of chiefs and church leaders demand:
• That Commanders of both sides refrain from hostile acts
• That local agreements be respected and honoured
• A stop to cattle raiding
• A stop to all killing, and abduction of women and children
• To return recently abducted women and children to their homes
• To stop burning of homesteads
• Permit free movement between Nuer and Dinka areas.
We have further agreed to hold a series of meetings throughout all communities in the East and West Banks of the Nile to pursue all possible means towards a just and lasting peace in the land of Nuer and Dinka.
