Peace Dialogue and Cattle Camp Youth Orientation Held in Tonj
A peace dialogue and orientation for the Cattle Camp Armed Youth Peace Committee was conducted in Tonj to strengthen community peacebuilding, early-warning reporting, responsible communication, and peaceful coexistence.
The committee brings together representatives from the cattle-camp community, including youth, intellectuals, community leaders, women, a church representative, and a focal person. Members were encouraged to serve as peace ambassadors and promote peaceful solutions to community challenges.
Key areas of discussion included early-warning reporting, responsible information sharing, community security, peaceful conflict resolution, and voluntary participation in community policing initiatives.
The activity was conducted through a partnership between LAWANCI, South Sudanese Women Intellectuals Forum (SSWI Forum), 641M, and EWGO.
The initiative reflects the growing importance of community-led peace structures in addressing conflict and strengthening stability in Greater Tonj. Similar peace initiatives in Tonj have emphasized early warning, community policing, dialogue, and peaceful conflict resolution.
Together, communities can choose dialogue, cooperation, and peace over violence.
