The search for peace and security in Africa has been and should remain a
constant aspiration and ultimate goal for all brave women and men on the
continent and beyond. Politicians, academics, civil society and
ordinary citizens alike ought to work towards restating and implementing
peaceful solutions to different conflicts. Trans-national, national,
regional and international, and grassroots organizations, institutions,
and associations, are striving to enact a positive peace process in
order to resolve pending conflicts wherever they exist. As such, we
