The peace and dialogue meeting between
Kono District Bloggers Union KDBU and is set!

We cannot fold our hands and watch our brothers fight among themselves when unity is both possible and necessary. While there may be individuals who benefit from division and may not welcome this step, our commitment remains firm.

As long as we are present, peace among young people is not optional—it is essential.

Thanks to both leaderships for acknowledging receipt of our invitation and confirming attendance.
