South Sudan's vice-president has urged the Muslim community to support Sudanese refugees who have fled the ongoing war in their country.
"Help the government to avert the economic crisis the
country is facing," Vice-President Hussein Abdelbagi Akol, told worshipers
during Eid al-Fitr prayers in the capital, Juba, on Wednesday.
Many businessmen in South Sudan are Muslims from Somalia and Sudan.
Eid al-Fitr is a feast that marks the end of the Holy month of Ramadan – the
Muslims’ month of fasting.
Civil
war broke out in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, on 15 April last
year. Next Monday will mark one year since the beginning of the conflict that has killed at least 14,000 people.
According
to UN estimates, more than 560,000 people have fled the conflict in Sudan and crossed over into neighbouring South Sudan – most of them South
Sudanese who had also fled the violence in their county in 2013 and 2016.
The
UN estimates that an average of 1,850 new arrivals from Sudan enter South Sudan
every day.
