Central Africa is experiencing war, mainly in the following countries: Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi. This appears as a great deal for local people living in this area. Since 1998, in particular, Democratic Republic of the Congo is in war. The country has lost almost 3 million individuals. Four years earlier, Rwanda, a smaller country in size, lost more than 300 thousands people. Uganda, on the other hand indulged in war against rebels living in the neighboring countries: Sudan and D.R.Congo.

How can this situation come to an end? That is the main question. The answer is supposed to be given by the victims. However in this part of the world, Human Rights aren't respected and civilians are obliged to shut their mouths. Although, it appears that nowadays, the man in the street must speak aloud.
This can't be possible if the "Goodwill" is absent; that means that the tragic situation of the Great Lakes Region of Africa must be taken Global. We are all concerned in this. White, Black, Yellow people are involved into finding a solution. The first path wherein we are called to walk is to consider the area as ours. Because there are some individuals who are thinking that the raw materials of this African part are belonging to them only. We must know that Democratic Republic of the Congo is a big country where the most important minerals can be found in the soil; Nowadays, industries are searching their row materials in this part of the world. The earth is the most useful of the world. The people are so faithful that with them a lot of things can be done.

The path to end of the conflicts in the Great Lakes Region of Africa is to involve each Global citizen; to consider the area not as the African one, but as the country of each one of us. That is why, we will be glad to organize conferences, workshops on the following issue: Peace, War and Solutions in central and East Africa.

INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS OF PEACE, our organization is ready to lead this conference.
