The event comes at a time when Unity State continues to experience recurring intercommunal violence, highlighting the urgent need for community-driven interventions to support reconciliation and stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants responded positively, expressing their commitment to finding locally led solutions to existing disputes.
