Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>There is need for Catholic Bishops in Africa to advocate for \u201cright policies\u201d that facilitate equitable distribution of resources in their respective countries, the Executive Director of the West Africa Network for Peacebuilding<\/a> (WANEP) has told delegates of the 19th Plenary Assembly<\/a> of the Symposium of Episcopal Conference of Africa and Madagascar<\/a> (SECAM).<\/p>\n

Addressing SECAM delegates in Ghana\u2019s capital city, Accra, who include over 120 Catholic Bishops coming from the eight regional associations<\/a> of the continental symposium, Emmanuel Habuka Bombande acknowledged the efforts of the Catholic Bishops in Nigeria amid kidnappings and murder that seem to target Christians.<\/p>\n

\u201cI urge and appeal for the Church through its leaders to continue and increase its presence to be more proactive, more engaged in speaking out for the right policies that ensure society as a whole benefit from the resources of the state,\u201d Mr. Bombande said in his Tuesday, July 26 presentation titled, \u201cThe Challenges of Terrorism and Insurgency in Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n

In advocating for appropriate policies, the Ghanaian Peacebuilding practitioner further said, Catholic Bishops \u201cpromote social justice and inclusion of all\u201d, which, he added, can go a long way in addressing \u201cthe challenges of terrorism and insurgency in Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n

He called upon Catholic Bishops in Africa to \u201creinvigorate\u201d the Justice and Peace Commissions of their respective Episcopal Sees and Conferences, saying the commissions \u201ccan provide our Bishops with the quality analysis upon which they can speak forcefully\u201d and \u201cbe heard loudly in all the corridors of power where social injustice is hatched\u201d.He made reference to Catholic Bishops in Nigeria who have decried injustices in the West African nation<\/a> and called upon the government to take responsibility and protect citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me not create the impression that this is not happening,\u201d the Executive Director of WANEP said in reference to Catholic Church leaders speaking out against evil in society.<\/p>\n

\u201cI follow closely how our Bishops continue to speak up sometimes at the prize of being abducted and Priests killed as it has happened in Nigeria,\u201d he said, and added, \u201cThe challenge is to ask how the Church as a whole can be in solidarity in action and prayer with the countries where such atrocities are (taking) place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, Mr. Bombande said, \u201cThe Church should equally participate to be the intermediary for dialogue and consensus building to overcome social, economic, and political divisions in our countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe challenges of terrorism and insurgency in Africa does not stand alone and in isolation of the numerous other challenges afflicting Africa,\u201d he said.He went on to highlight other challenges on the continent, saying, \u201cVulnerable groups, women, youths without gainful employment, and informal workers have been disproportionately affected.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other challenges that the Executive Director of WANEP highlighted in his July 26 presentation include climate change, and the effects of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll these cumulatively are drivers of terrorism as extremist groups exploit vulnerabilities to radicalize and recruit young people to engage in terrorists\u2019 activities,\u201d Mr. Bombande said in reference to the various challenges the people of God in Africa face.<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cFurther exacerbating our weaknesses is bad governance superintendent by leaders who rather than uniting people with a common purpose and resolve to confront Africa\u2019s challenges, exclude others, divide, and manipulate the institutions of the state to maintain themselves in political power.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addressing terrorism and insurgency in Africa, Mr. Bombande faulted the prioritization of military operations, which he said have aimed at annihilating the jihadist groups and that they have not been successful. The effective approach in addressing terrorism and insurgency in Africa, he said, is to begin by addressing intercommunal violence, which he said is \u201can indicator of future jihadist expansion\u201d.<\/p>\n

In many African countries, the Ghanaian peacebuilding practitioner said, \u201cintercommunal violence persists with its attendant consequences of social, economic polarization increasingly aggravated by unhealthy multi-party-political competition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Addressing intercommunal violence requires strategic conflict resolution and peacebuilding processes from local communities to national levels in African States, Mr. Bombande said.<\/p>\n

In the absence of such strategy, he said, \u201cthe intercommunal violence could escalate to untenable levels providing jihadist the entry points to exploit societal and structural vulnerabilities to have easy access for the radicalization and recruitment of young people to increase terrorism on the continent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cInterconnection between governance, peace and security is central for an effective response to violent extremism and terrorism,\u201d the Ghanaian peacebuilding practitioner said.He expressed optimism about the future, saying that the people of God in Africa are resilient and \u201cwill come out stronger from the carnage of terrorism and insurgencies afflicting our countries and communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
