The Ashanti Regional Representative of the National Peace Council (NPC) , Sheikh Ahmed Saeed have called for a concerted effort to deal with issues of violence and ethnic discrimination in order to promote peaceful coexistence and unity among the indigenes of Ntonso Aboaso in the Kwabre East District of the Ashanti Region for a rapid socio-economic development.
Speaking to Haske News on the side of a peace dialogue in Ntonso Aboaso in the Kwabre East District, which aimed at addressing issues of violence and discrimination against Zango Youth in Ntonso Aboaso, Ustaz Ahmed Saeed, Secretary of Council of Ulamau and Imams and a representative of National Peace Council said, the existence of ethnic discrimination and exclusion in the community could trigger conflict, therefore we must all come together and work together to eradicate it.
Ustaz Ahmed further stated that, a peaceful community was not one with the absence of conflict, but one that acknowledges the fact that there would always be conflicts, and chose non-violent ways to resolve them when they occur.
Moreover, peace was a pre-condition for progress and development, hence the Peace Council is determined to promote and ensure that the prevailing peace in the region was not jeopardized but maintained. He called for support from all and sundry in this regard.
Although, there are various ethnic groups in the region and the country at large, it is imperative that the citizenry appreciates these differences and ensure that nothing prevents them from co-existing peacefully and working together.
