Port Harcourt—A group, Academic Associates Peace works has initiated steps to demobilise armed groups in the Niger Delta. The executive director, Mrs. Judith Asuni said the action was to rescue the area from another circle of political violence in 2007.
At a retreat for reformed cultists and militants in the area organised by her group which ended weekend in Port Harcourt, Judith said they were already succeeding in the aspect of mindset change.
According to her, the youths were beginning to see reasons to beat a retreat from the culture of violence. She noted that the achievement could be sustained if serious effort were in place to engage the youths.
She added that government should strive to live up to its responsibility to the youths, she was thankful to the government of Bayelsa, Rivers and Delta for providing training centres for her organisation saying the places would focus on conflict management, culture of non violence, leadership, community development and mind set change.
