Every year, we observe International Day of Peace Day to reflect on all efforts towards transforming a conflict-habituated system into a peace system where people live peaceably with one another irrespective of their differences. Peace is priceless.
On a day like this, where the world reaffirms her commitment to the ideals of nonviolence while living in peace with one another and with others, I firmly believe humankind can continue to do better in shaping attitudes and behaviours that are fundamental to promoting a culture of peace amongst the peoples of our beautiful planet.
On this year's international Day of Peace, themed "Cultivating the Culture of Peace," we are reminded of our collective responsibility to nurture peace in every corner of our world.
The Programme for Christian-Muslim Relations in Africa (PROCMURA), a Pan-African Christian organization dedicated to promoting peace, peaceful coexistence and constructive relations between Christians and Muslims across the continent of Africa, is deeply concerned by the recent unprecedented demonstrations in Kenya, pitting anti-government protesters on one side and the government on the other side.
