For as long as many African youth can remember, our continent has had one conflict or another. In all these conflicts it has been us the youth who have been used by unscrupulous politicians and greedy persons to fight and destroy our own future. Those who suffer most are the women and children of Africa. Our mothers, sisters, siblings, friends and relations. The AfriPeace Project says NO MORE ! We are taking a stand to say 1. We wont engage in any form of violence. 2. That we will seek the peaceful resolution methods offered. 3. That we will not vote or support any candidates that preach violence or ideas that could lead to violence. 4. That we will educate our selves and change Africa not with a gun but with renewed minds and developed intellect. 5. That we will work to see a new and prosperous Africa in our life time.

I have been reading the messages from people who signed and the stories of resilience coming from our communities across the continent are deeply moving. These conversations remind me why we must reject the cycle of violence that has stolen so many futures from our brothers and sisters. My work continues behind the scenes to connect with youth leaders who are ready to build a different path for Africa.

Seeing this movement gain such momentum reminds me of the faces of the children I grew up with who deserve so much more than cycles of conflict. Your engagement proves that we are finally ready to choose our future over the agendas of those who profit from our division.

Genuine Brotherhood "Let the strivings of us all prove Martin Luther King Jr. to have been correct, when he said that humanity can no longer be tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war. Let the efforts of us all prove that he was not a mere dreamer when he spoke of the beauty of genuine brotherhood and peace being more precious than diamonds or silver or gold. Let a new age dawn."

Too many young guys being used as pawns by these old politicians. We need to be smarter and stop killing our own future for someone elses gain. Enough is enough.
