Profile

What motivated you to become involved in peace and conflict resolution?: In 1999, I went to Kigali, Rwanda on a International Commission of Jurists Conference on the NGO participation in the work of the African Commission on Human and People's Rights (ACHPR).

Since then I am a conscious believer in working tirelessly for a just and egalitarian society.

After years of political violence that became more protracted and vicious in the run-up to the Presidential run-off elections of the 27th June 2008, many societies were pushed to breaking point with communities "tearing" each other part.
