Local agreement issues

Ritual/prayer and process (including use of scripture)

Page 4, IV. Commitments and Consequences, ... Support for the values of tolerance, multi-religious and ethnic harmony.

Page 4, IV. Commitments and Consequences, ... Ending discrimination labeling or stereotyping of individuals and groups on the account of their religion or ethnicity.

Page 6, X. Public Apology, ... We representing the participating communities in the Southern Plateau Peace Dialogue Process have been a deeply divided society, polarized along social and religious lines

Grievance List

Page 1, Preamble, ... We make this declaration against the background of improved understanding of our differences and issues that unite us with a desire to deliberately spare our individual and collective communities from the ominous consequences of killings, arson, destruction of crops and property, dislocation of populations and general insecurity unleashed on our peoples: environment and economy.

Page 2, I. Purpose:, ... Concerned that experiences of violence, killings, cattle rustling, armed banditrv, crop destruction, land/boundary disputes, proliferation of small arms and light weapons, youth unemployment, intolerance and the plight of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) amongst others require a multitrack intervention in order to minimize their degeneration into avoidable violent conflicts.

Page 3, II. Acknowledgement of Causes and Consequences of Conflicts, ... Any eruption of violent conflict across the borders easily spills over into the Southern Plateau, exposing the area to flow of small arms and light weapons used for proxy wars, armed banditry, rustling, attacks and reprisal attacks. In addition, internal conflicts within the zone have equally generated flows in arms and displacement of populations as well as increased the wave of drugs and substance abuse, youth unemployment and general insecurity in the area. Negative politics and ineffective security have combined to produce a sense of marginalization, discrimination, intolerance and impunity for some individuals and communities in the area. Therefore, to a large extent, it is our belief that a lot of the killings, violence, displacement of people, destruction of homes and property, armed banditry, land disputes/border clashes and cattle rustling are all avoidable if all stakeholders and government at all levels become more proactive.

Cattle rustling/banditry

Page 2, I. Purpose:, ... cattle rustling, armed banditrv, crop destruction, land/boundary disputes, proliferation of small arms and light weapons, youth unemployment, intolerance and the plight of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) amongst others require a multitrack intervention in order to minimize their degeneration into avoidable violent conflicts.

Page 3, II. Acknowledgement of Causes and Consequences of Conflicts, ... Any eruption of violent conflict across the borders easily spills over into the Southern Plateau, exposing the area to flow of small arms and light weapons used for proxy wars, armed banditry, rustling, attacks and reprisal attacks.

Page 3, II. Acknowledgement of Causes and Consequences of Conflicts, ... armed banditry, land disputes/border clashes and cattle rustling are all avoidable if all stakeholders and government at all levels become more proactive.

Page 4, V. Responsibilities and Recommendations:, ... standing committees including major stakeholders should intervene and mediate on cattle rustling and routes, farmer/grazer clashes and related issues.

Page 5, V. Responsibilities and Recommendations:, ... they should establish special multiagency security squads to be furnished with community intelligence on criminals and rustlers.

Page 5, V. Responsibilities and Recommendations:, ... The Plateau State House of Assembly should enact new laws or strengthen existing ones particularly against cattle rustling, blockage of cattle routes and possession of illegal weapons.

Social cover

Page 4, IV. Commitments and Consequences, ... Eschew violence and expose criminals within our communities.

Page 4, IV. Commitments and Consequences, ... Collectively sanction any individual, community or group that deliberately breaches our commitments or resolutions.
