Be active champions of peace, VP Alupo urges youth

Uganda’s Vice President has urged youngsters to be active champions of peace, tolerance, and coexistence.

Maj (Rtd) Jessica Alupo says Uganda's journey towards peace has been hard-fought. She applauded the leadership of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) government for the fruits of stability, unity, security and economic progress that people are currently enjoying in the East African landlocked country.

“This peace [we are enjoying] did not come by accident. It is the result of a deliberate commitment to tolerance, non-violence, and inclusive governance,” she said.

“And today, we must ensure that the youth remain at the centre of this peace process, not as passive beneficiaries but as active champions of peace, tolerance, and coexistence.”

The Vice President’s message was contained in a speech delivered by the Minister of Gender, Labour and Social Development Betty Amongi during the inaugural pathways to peace at the Youth Convention on Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) in Nakawa, Kampala, on Wednesday, October 2.
