On this day of September 23, the Islamic Community in Congo (COMICO) makes its voice heard by launching a call for a culture of peace and tolerance between communities. This appeal, launched on the occasion of the International Day of Peace, highlights the importance of living together and sharing in a harmonious society.
Yusufu Djodjo Sangala, public relations officer for the Islamic region of Beni, emphasizes that Islam is a religion that places peace at the heart of its action. He recalls that Islam is synonymous with peace, good manners and community. He insists that the Muslims of Beni are in favor of peace and call for joint efforts to restore this peace.
In a region where Muslims are sometimes compared to rebels, this call for tolerance takes on particular importance. It aims to dispel prejudices and stereotypes that may exist and encourages all religious and social communities in Béni to work together to restore peace.
Indeed, without peace, all religious activities and celebrations become impossible. This is why it is essential to combat mistrust and give a chance to building peace in the region.
COMICO therefore calls for peaceful coexistence and mutual respect between all communities. She hopes to contribute to the construction of a society where differences are accepted and celebrated, and where peace is the foundation of all relationships.
This call from COMICO is an essential reminder of the importance of peace and tolerance in our societies. It invites us to reflect on our own biases and actively work to promote a more peaceful and inclusive world. Peace can only be achieved by showing understanding, empathy and respect for others.
So, let us commit to following this call for the culture of peace and tolerance, and to building a better world where each individual can live in harmony with others.
