In a workshop had an opportunity to work very closely and friendly with these two great personalities who worked hard for the Reconciliation in Nigeria:- Imam Ashafa and Pastor Games
The Pastor and the Imam began their journey to dialogue as leaders of opposing militias involved in violent religious conflict in Northern Nigeria. Following great personal losses on both sides, they met through a mutual friend, and began their work together. Nineteen years later, they are pioneers in interfaith mediation in Northern Nigeria, working to bring peace to this troubled part of the world.
The Interfaith Mediation Centre, which they jointly run, works to enhance and deepen peaceful coexistence among different faiths, to build trust and relationships among divided communities, and strengthen early warning systems for conflict prevention. The Pastor and the Imam have used dialogue and dialogical methods to mediate community conflicts and initiate economic development projects. They have also mediated a peace agreement between fighting groups in the Nigerian state of Kaduna, which has lessened religious conflict in this volatile region over the last nine years.
