Do you have any story on community peace building that you want share? Do you have information that would help us build a robust warning system? CITAD uses Google alerts to source information about trends of discussion in various platforms, sites and online discussion lists and sites with a view to understanding treads, attitudes and positions such that it can develop appropriate responses to those that are similarly disseminated to either reinforce positive trends or counter and neutralize negative ones. Join us in the campaign for Peace Now! If you need training on the use of social media for peace let us.

We have watched helplessly blood spilling all over the land. We have seen economic activities grounded to a halt all because of insecurity. We have seen students unable to go to school for fear of violence. We have seen people being abused in the name of fighting insurgency. Too many people have lost their beloved ones and bread winners. Must we also give in to the creeping militarism that is talking ground in the land? Peace is what we need and all of us are challenged to think creatively and proactively on how we can make peace a reality in the land that has seen too much of horrors. PEACE NOW! is a campaign to mobilize communities to act and restore peace in the country. Join us in this effort by building a Peace Committee in your neighborhood.
