South Sudan bishop issues call for emergency assistance as conflict worsens
July 17, 2026
[Anglican Communion News Service] The Rt. Rev. Joseph Aba Nicanor, bishop of the Diocese of Liwolo in the Episcopal Church of South Sudan, on July 16 issued an “Urgent Humanitarian Appeal for Emergency Assistance to Internally Displaced Persons” amid rising conflict in South Sudan. As a nation, South Sudan has suffered much conflict and unrest since its birth in 2011 and, formerly, as part of Sudan. Peace only lasted for a short time after the division of the two countries, and the impact of past and present conflict continues to result in widespread displacement, violence, corruption and other disruptions to daily life. The appeal – issued as a letter from the diocesan office and on the church’s social media channels – references recent armed hostilities that have caused the large-scale displacement of an estimated 10,000 civilians in Liwolo Payam, Kajokeji County, Central Equatoria State, along the South Sudan-Uganda border.
