Africa-Press – Angola. The Head of State of São Tomé and Príncipe, Carlos Vila Nova, considered, this Wednesday, in Luanda, the training of young Africans to be promoters of peace as essential.
Speaking on the theme “Young people, actors in promoting the culture of peace and social transformations on the continent”, at the III Luanda Biennale, Carlos Vila Nova said that the way in which young people are mobilized “must create this culture of peace in itself”.
In the statesman’s view, it is necessary to strengthen the capacity of young people, both individually and in youth organizational structures, so that they can more easily contribute to a better world, “ensuring this culture of peace”.
“Nobody gains anything from conflicts. We only keep pain, resentment and problems after problems”, said Carlos Vila Nova.
