AIU graduate sensitized 500 Youth on MONUSCO’s mandate and their role in supporting peace and security in the Great lakes Region (Goma)…

June 18, 2019

 

On 11 April- CA agent (Mr Patrick Girukwayo- a student of AIU in PHD) conducted a sensitization to 500 Youth (selected from various background including 260 girls) gathered at Mont Carmel for the “Journee Inter-diocesaine de Jeunes” in Goma. The session was held in the framework of encouraging Youth to support peace and security in the region. To recall- this meeting gathered youth from DRC- Rwanda and Burundi in the context when MONUSCO has provided a logistical support (tents- generators- office material- water- …) to the event. During the session- CA explained:

  • MONUSCO’s role in supporting state authority and peaceful cohabitation among communities in Nord Kivu;

  • The role of Youth in creating a positive and peaceful climate through collaboration;

  • The role of Youth in identifying key security and causes of tensions (ethnic and political) and timely alert for preventive responses;

  • The role of youth to support the 1500 youth leaders through the 18 Youth committees of GOAM who were created in 2018 by CA and the Ministry of Interior;

  • The culture of good communicating with local actors in denouncing every cause of destabilization;

  • And how youth should avoid political manipulation that might to fuel ethnic and community violence. In a lively interactive and participative discussion- youth asked several questions on:

  • How they can participate in strengthening social cohesion in their areas;

  • Enhance of young girls’ leadership in supporting peace and security- etc. Participants recommended MONUSCO to organize sessions of Leadership to key authorities and encourage them to include Youth in State services and local development priorities to reduce Youth delinquency.
