South Sudanese should avoid using social media to enflame ethnic tension, a top civil society leader said. 

Seeing the rise in tension between tribes on social media, Akuoch Ajang, the Chairperson of the South Sudan Civil Society Alliance told the U.N. “those on social media to be positive and send messages of peace and reconciliation,”

“What are we going to earn if we kill ourselves — if we fight ourself,” Ajang said.

After at least 30 people died in an attack on a convoy on the Juba-Nimule road, Ajang called on the government to investigate the incident. He also called for a revamped security plan in the country, but stressed that civilians have an important role to play as well.

He “called on civilians to maintain unity and love,”
