What motivated you (or your organization) to become involved in peace and conflict resolution?

Africa is no longer a Dirk Continent. It is time for a new face for the continent to have natives with capacity to perceive challenges as local i.e. African solutions for African problems. Time is way over due to concentrate on dealing with issues that precipitate destructive conflict and violence that has kept millions of the continent’s citizens in absolute misery. Indeed a continent where natives of all generations have a network that can be a foundation for the continent's transformation.
