    "content": "These communities speak the same language, have lived together but have always had a way of dealing with their issues. However, we are seeing this giving way to a cycle of violence where one community retaliates as soon as the other community attacks. The community I come from feels very aggrieved, and I am sure the other community also feels aggrieved. As leaders, it is about time we supported peace initiatives that rely on our traditional mechanisms. As leaders, we are talking to our communities and saying, ‘please allow us to come to you.’, since what we witnessed is not good and not the answer. You cannot fight violence with violence. I support and look forward to us as leaders spearheading and ensuring the Government does its job to protect its citizens, but we also speak to our people to ensure that we come up with solutions drawn from our traditional mechanisms."
