Using Sports to Promote Peace, Peaceful Elections & Community Cohesion in Sierra Leone
The Programme for Christian-Muslim Relations in Africa (PROCMURA) understands the power behind using sports in building and promoting peace and community cohesion. Sports can unite people regardless of their backgrounds or political, social, or religious differences. This cannot be overemphasized, especially in Sierra Leone. Over the years, Sierra Leone, a country with a pluralistic religious population, has experienced several challenges, especially electoral-related violence and religiously instigated conflicts that have left masses divided along religious, political, and even ethnic lines.
