Africa-Press – Lesotho. The Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace (CCJP) has held a two-day workshop for the Ribaneng community from today and it will kick off tomorrow where the theme is the creation of relations and peace between them.
Advocate Ntšebo Hlapi, a human rights officer with the Justice and Peace Affairs Commission, indicated that the organization was doing this because it was dealing with justice and peace in the area. Hlapi pointed out that these issues gave birth to a peace committee created by the community united to deal with these issues.
He said the committee was made up of all the people who are involved in everyday life such as kings, teachers, church representatives and circumcisers and now the desire is for members of the security forces to get involved.
Hlapi explained that the committee was formed in 2016 and that the organization is meeting with it after the apparent challenges facing the committee in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak in the country.
“We are back to it again to provide training and equip members with tips on building relationships and peace and the challenges it has faced during this time.
“On the other hand, after we formed this committee in this area, the seemingly intensified killings, they seemed to be disappearing in the shadows but recently they seem to be back to normal,” he said.
Fish has expressed doubts that the committee needs to be strengthened so that it can begin its work with vigor. He said they were making a plan to see how they could move forward to overcome the new challenges that arose after the committee took office.
He further added that since the commencement of the committee’s work, there has been a change in the area and, among other things, that members of the security forces have been involved, and that killings have dropped dramatically.
Hlapi said after the formation of the committee, they allowed it to formulate policies and procedures that the committee would use to bring peace within the area.
“In the past, teachers have taught children because these wars have already caused schools to say that wars are not the answer when the dissidents also saw how the issue of peace would interfere with the education they give while beating men. and future women, ”Fish said.
He concluded by expressing his desire to reach the core of the issue so that people involved in song and sex warfare can be trained to finally hear that song as it is popular with the Basotho, should not use the words wars but acceptable to all.
