Profile Information
- What motivated you (or your organization) to become involved in peace and conflict resolution?
- I have a strong conviction that "peace is a pre-requisite for all aspects of development, be it personal, community, etc". Having come from a highly oil rich but volatile community, I was challenged with how to reduce the rates of violence that occurs in my community and all the oil communities in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. That was how I started learning about building peace and resolving conflicts and founded the African Youth Development Foundation (www.afrydef.org).

Transforming conflict takes a lot of time and resources, but it is possible.
Conflict Transformation is a relatively new approach to peacebuilding. This group is a setting for sharing experiences, resources and current debates in the field.
Thank you for the post. Am looking forward to my next volunteering opportunity.

Kathey

I am looking at things about Imo State...see this: "Imo State is one of the 36 states of Nigeria and lies to the south of this West African country, with Owerri as it capital and largest city. It is the home of sages, philosophers, theoretical thinkers, scientists, innovative minds, ethical judges, nation builders, and philanthropists"
This is from Wikipedia... They think very highly of you all!

Thank you so much for adding me as a friend. I am particularly interested in Nigeria, and also I know a little about the Niger Delta region and the oil conflicts. I belong to a few groups that are committed to making a positive change in Nigeria, and your work with AYDF sounds wonderful!
I am also interested in the issues surrounding the Ibo/Biafran people, human rights, control of resources, and immigration issues. I once wanted to make a documentary with a Nigerian photgrapher (Urhobo) about the exodus of Africans to Europe, via the desert and the Atlantic, and the dangers, problems and human rights issues encountered by the illegals in West Africa. As you know many lives are lost crossing the treacherous Atlantic. Unfortunately we could not get the funding to do it at the time.
I look forward to hearing more about yor work. Peace & Blessings, Arielle
Thank you for including me on the list of your friends on this network.

Emeka.
