Mundari Chief Alfons Modie says that the peace meeting that was supposed to take place on Friday between the Mundari and Bari tribes was postponed by authorities in Central Equatoria State.

"Yes, the peace conference that supposed to take place today was canceled and the commissioner went to Juba to confirm the date when the peace conference is to kick off and we shall let you know," said the chief in Terekeka in an interview with Radio Tamazuj.

Earlier this week, another meeting between Mundari and Bari cattle keepers concluded in Juba as Mundari cattle are returning home to Terekeka County from Juba County in response to the presidential decree regarding cattle keepers.
