New From AFRICAphonie: Bakassi Peace (DVD and Newsletter

Bakassi Peninsula in Cameroon is still in the frontline but this did not deter AFRICAphonie, with support from the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) from embarking on a citizen peace building project (public discussion forums and training workshops) aimed at sharing ideas and information with a wide range of actors on how to recognize early warning signals and develop measures to minimize gun violence in the Bakassi zone.

 
This project is packaged in a 45 mn DVD Documentary called “Bakassi Peace” that provides the historical and geographical context of the Bakassi conflict and explores the role of citizens in post conflict management.
