Peace is a collective effort of community members. It begins with every individual irrespective of social, economic, religious or tribal inclination. Peace can only last as decided by community stakeholders. As such, making the decision for peace requires a daily, deliberate and concerted determination of community dwellers. Peace can also be achieved by mutual understanding of community members anchored on justice for all. There are drivers of peace in our communities that can be leveraged for this purpose. But overtime, these drivers become weakened by human activities such as antisocial vices, rumors and fake news.
These activities are not without dire consequences to stability of our communities. Key segment of the population, are often at the center of this. On today’s edition of building bridges, we shall be discussing local peace initiatives in Gyel/Bukuru and Tudun Wada as ignited by young people and Youth groups.
What are the drivers of peace in Tudun Wada and Gyel/Bukuru? how can these drivers be enhanced for communal peace in these communities? what are the lessons for other communities? how effective have they being overtime? Are the emerging local peace issues generic or specific? All these and more will form the basis of our discussion with Mr. Job Manajang from Gyel/Bukuru Community and Mr. Richard Egbita from Tudun Wada Community.
