Mr. Boudali concludes with a message of inner peace, quoting @SadhguruJV ("Peace is the core of existence. We cannot create it..."), and emphasizes that #peace must first exist within ourselves and our immediate environment to build a peaceful world.

Mr. Khalid Boudali outlines the key goals of the initiative, including citizen engagement, creating Peace on Earth Zones, unifying voices for #peace, and establishing a culture of peace through strategic partnerships.

The initiative also aims to empower people to take effective action in their lives and communities, and utilize Peace on Earth Zones to address violence and extremism. Mr. Boudali emphasizes the crucial role of civil society in shaping the agenda and creating citizen awareness.

Terrorism, refugee crises, and regional insecurity follow. @AU_ECOSOCC advocates for strategic actions to enhance #peace and #security mechanisms, particularly #CivilSociety engagement in various components of the African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA). -@bou9285
