Peace is an essential state of mind that we must cultivate every day. This is what Abdourahmane Ganda, interim head of the MONUSCO office in Beni-Lubero, underlines during the celebration of the International Day of Peace. According to him, peace cannot be reduced to a simple absence of conflict, it is a behavior to adopt every day.
In an interview with Radio Okapi, Abdourahmane Ganda explains that for peace to become a reality, it is necessary to put in place several mechanisms and commitments. It is not just an abstract ideal, but a concrete action to take in our daily lives.
Indeed, peace is not limited only to grand declarations or political negotiations. It is built through our interactions with others, our mutual respect, our ability to resolve conflicts peacefully and our desire to live in harmony with our environment.
Abdourahmane Ganda also emphasizes that peace is a collective effort. Each of us has a role to play in building a better world. This requires individual actions, but also community and national initiatives.
It is essential to promote peace in our society, by promoting dialogue, tolerance and respect for the rights of everyone. It also requires concrete actions to resolve the problems that cause conflicts, such as inequality, poverty and injustice.
In conclusion, peace is not just an abstract concept, it is a state of mind and a behavior that we must adopt on a daily basis. Each of us has a role to play in building a more peaceful and harmonious world. Let us remember that peace begins with ourselves.
