Unity and reconciliation should serve as a source from which Africans can draw energy to grow and develop. This is the sentiment shared by speakers at a public dialogue held under the theme ‘Rebuilding the Identity of a Post-Conflict Society’ organised by the offices of the Namibian and Rwandan First Ladies. Speaking at the event the chairperson of National Unity Reconciliation Commission of Rwanda Bishop John Rucyahana narrated Rwanda’s journey from post-conflict to a progressive nation. He says healing through dialogue is the only way to instil unity and reconciliation among people.
