3135: RHYTHMS OF PEACE: Artists Support Campaign Against Cattle Raiding & Abductions

Four artists from Jonglei and the Greater Pibor Administrative Area have combined their voices, using creativity to challenge the persistent cattle raiding and child abductions in the region. The creative collaboration is part of a peace drive spearheaded by partners who include the Peace and Reconciliation Commission of Greater Pibor. Commission Chairperson, James Nyikcho Pirya tells Radio Miraya that the campaign will be reinforced by justice and accountability measures designed to uphold the rule of law and curb cross-border crimes.

The campaign is supported by the Reconciliation, Stabilisation, and Resilience in South Sudan (RSRTF), an initiative by the UNMISS and the United Nations country team aimed at addressing the complex challenges in South Sudan, particularly by targeting the root causes of conflict in hotspots.
