What is African Day of Peace and Reconciliation?
The African Day of Peace and Reconciliation on January 31 is marked by the African Union to honour efforts to end conflicts and heal divided societies across the continent. Many African countries have lived through civil wars and political violence, and the experience of truth commissions, peace agreements and community reconciliation has shown that lasting peace needs justice and dialogue as well as an end to fighting. The day fits the African Union's wider goal of silencing the guns on the continent, and it is marked with dialogues, commemorations and events that bring former rivals and young people together.
