un articulo por Ali Mussa Mwadini, Executive Secretary & Peace Activist, ZPTTA NGO Zanzibar (abridged)

Our organization Zanzibar Peace, Truth & Transparency Association needs to bring together the Zanzibar community. We seek to promote and sustain a true culture of peace as an urgent task in the Zanzibar community and Tanzania at large that requires the commitment and engagement of all the people in the country. We are focusing on a true culture of peace and related development issues such as human rights, gender equality, democracy, good governance and rule of law within the Zanzibar Community and Tanzania. ZPTTA NGO is a non-profit, non political and non religious organization, which works with the objective of promoting and sustaining a true culture of peace in the Country.

On 21 September each year the world celebrates the International Day of Peace. We mark the day with conferences and speeches in order to highlight to the world how we approach the challenge of building lasting peace in the Zanzibar Community and to show our best practices and some of the outstanding results that have been achieved to date. This year our Organization with our partners Tanzania Youth Icon came out with a concurrent resolution( KAULI MBIU ) as follows : YES PEACE ( NDIYO AMANI ) I WANT PEACE ( NATAKA AMANI ) NO WAR ( VITA HAPANA ) I DO NOT WANT WAR ( SITAKI VITA)
