The launch of the campaign was presided over by the Governor of Upper Nile State, James Odok Oyai.<\/p>\n

It was also attended by the UNMISS Head of Field Office (HoFo) for Malakal, Alfred Orono Orono, local military and police forces, peacekeeping components from other contributing countries, and Malakal residents.<\/p>\n

The cleaning drive to influence behavioural change on hygiene, is part of the “Peace Starts with Me” campaign expected to be launched this Saturday in Malakal.<\/p>\n

Governor Odok encouraged Malakal residents to always ensure sanitation and hygiene in their homes and surroundings, and to make it part of their culture.<\/p>\n

“We are launching this cleaning campaign because we want Malakal town to be clean and green for the well-being of our communities and to protect the environment,” the Governor said.<\/p>\n

The UNMISS Head of Malakal Field Office, Alfred Orono Orono told the residents to adopt the Rwandan culture of monthly communal work, Umuganda.<\/p>\n

“Upper Nile State and South Sudan at large wants peace. We are here to clean Malakal town not just for one day; it’s a continuous process,” Orono said.<\/p>\n

Officials thanked the Rwandan peacekeepers for incorporating the culture of togetherness and wellbeing of the local people in their peacekeeping mandate, through Umuganda and other human security activities.<\/p>\n

The ‘Peace Begins With Me” campaign will be launched Saturday, November 11, at Malakal stadium with different entertainment activities including Rwandan traditional dance and music concert. <\/p>\n

The campaign seeks to celebrate peace progress made by the government of South Sudan since signing of the revitalized agreement.<\/p>\n
