With this in mind, the AGEH and EED strive, together with their partnerorganisations, to subject their own role and actions in social conflicts to constantand critical review and to come to terms with their ‘dark side’. Only in this way canchurch players bring their strengths to bear in the long term and identify andaddress their own weaknesses and the risks to which they are exposed. …Vision of the Civil Peace Service Network – CameroonIn a socio-political context in Africa, branded not only by armed conflict, oppressionand injustice, but also marked by the desire to create a culture of security, stability andfulfillment, it is urgent to develop strategies to promote a just and sustainable peace inCameroon.▶ The peace of God is the fruit of justice and it grows from within in everysociety. Unity, tolerance and love are its foundations. To this end Godcalls on each and every one of us to live through commitment, solidarityand prayer.▶ The youth find their place in Cameroonian society, they contributeto stability and take part in decision making concerning the country’sfuture.▶ Cameroon’s natural resources and its entrepreneurial potentialare recognised and used for the advancement of the country and a betterlife for its citizens.▶ Valorising the socio-cultural, legal and political status of women andyoung girls is considered by all a precondition for social justice.▶ Elections are a duty for all citizens and are held in a transparent, peacefuland participative way.
