He added that, a lot has been heard in the past one to two years on the activities of violent extremism, a situation which some people have elected to destroy the world by doing mass killings of people in communities and villages without any reason

Mr. Zume explained that, the activities of such people who usually just feel like destroying humanity including the killing of women, children and men for no reason in neighboring Burkina faso can not be attached to a particular religion but an indication that the devil is now with us in our societies.

Mr. Cletus cautioned people leaving closer to the border towns to be very vigilant in their activities and report any suspected person in their communities to the security personnels and also pleaded to the security to beef up their men in the border areas.

The operations manager for the project, Mr. Dokuugu Andrew Yahaya outlined the objectives of the project saying it is to

  1. improve the knowledge and understanding of all segments of their communities of the underlying causal factors, triggers, drivers and effects of violent conflict through awareness creation.
  2. Strengthen the capacities of their target communities to enable them carry out contextual analyses of vulnerabilities in their environments, including identifying the early warning signs for potential conflicts and violent extremism.
  3. To Develop effective local structures through the establishment of Community Peace Cells (CPCs) and enabling mechanisms for timely and effective response to emerging threats of Violent Extremism and
  4. To create a network of local actors and institutional collaborators for a seamless and timely flow of information on any early warning signs of conflict and extremist tendencies to ensure timely reporting for the intervention by the competent bodies and institutions whenever faced with threats of conflict and/or violent extremism.

He also disclosed that, the project will be implemented in partner communities such as, Gbalyiri, Jinpreyiri, Talgalayiri, Kulbi, Wula, and Kalba.

The Grants Manager for Savannah Region at COGNITA – Ghana, Mr. Fatao on behalf of it’s team leader for Coginta, Rev.
