Those in positions of power, authority and influence should therefore be championing this cause, not undermining it. Leadership is a calling and a privileged position that must be defined by prudence, responsibility, and an unwavering commitment to unity above all else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the NCCE, these divisive sentiments, which are becoming a regular occurrence, pose a direct threat to \u201cour collective peace, security, and development\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>It added: \u201cIn a country still healing from past divisions, such utterances are more than just words; they are corrosive tools that deepen suspicion and erode the genuine trust that is essential for a harmonious society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The NCCE reminds the public that \u201cour diversity is our strength, not a source of conflict\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe share a common identity as a nation, bound by shared values, aspirations and a common purpose to build a prosperous and peaceful future for all. Citizens must actively refuse to be dragged into ethnic rivalry and instead embrace a common national identity as a fundamental civic value.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The NCCE reiterates its commitment to promoting national cohesion and unity, and urges all citizens to reject divisive narratives and work together to build a strong, united country where every individual is valued for their humanity, not their tribal affiliation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Gambia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
