It is a bit challenging to keep up my monthly blog writing these days. My PhD, more than anything else in the world, takes precedence. Whilst I feel negligent and irresponsible sometimes for not blogging in a timely fashion, you've been loyal (THANK-YOU!). Visits has stumped to 9,556 from 5,000 in the last 4 months or so. I'm impressed and pleased with your hits, whether it is revisits or new visits.
So, two nights ago, I was asked to be profiled by the Communication Strategist of the OAU-AU 50th Anniversary Situation Room, African Union PSD Peace and Security Department for the upcoming High Level Peace Retreat in Cote D'Ivoire. I didn't think much of it, as I said, I'm in the depths of my studies right now. It was approximately 2am in the morning, I had just woken up to complete preparation for teaching later in that day.
I incoherently, gathered the information that was requested and shot it off reluctantly. It was only this very moment I received the click to the link that I realised that WHOAH! It is something! I am truly humbled and honoured to be a part of the younger generation of Africans using their experiences as war survivors to contribute to peace-building, conflict resolution and long-term development. Cote d'Ivoire...voila je viens!
My heartfelt gratitude goes out to Pedro, Hermon, and everyone at the AU PSD Peace and Security Department! On the occasion of its 50th Anniversary...
