JULY 2017 AND BEYOND . . .
7th July, 2017
Invitation to Attend the Kafanchan Peace Gathering on July 22nd, 2017
In joint partnership with the STF Commander – Major General R I Nicholas, I write to invite you to be part of an initiative aimed at promoting relationship (trust) -building, conflict prevention and peaceful co-existence between the ethnic nationalities of Southern Kaduna and the Hausa-Fulani people group. Our desire is to see peace restored and maintained now and in the foreseeable future. However, peace does not just happen, we all need to join hands to work for it intentionally. We acknowledge that there can be no peace without justice. Our goal will be to work for peace and justice through dialogue and taking the required action steps. Other objectives of this Peace Gathering are to initiate regular inter-faith, inter-commuity peace meetings between the various people groups.
Those expected to attend the Peace Gathering are:
Youths, Women, Community and Religious Leaders, and all the Stakeholders for Peace. It is to no one’s advantage that our people are dying, displaced and continue to live in fear and suspicion of one another. The Southern Kaduna Peace Gathering will take place with the following details:
Date: Saturday 22nd July, 2017
Time:10:00am
Venue: Choice Hotel Kafanchan
We would be most delighted to have you with us in person!
Sincerely,
Gideon Para-Mallam (Revd) Maj. Gen. R.I. Nicholas
