Ethiopian Pastoralists Join Together to Discuss Peace
“If pastoralists resolve conflict cases with traditional negotiations through elders, there won’t be a sense of revenge. The Borana, Gabra and Guji set traditional rules for themselves and brought peace to their communities. Their law is not contrary to government law or the constitution and, as long as it’s not against the constitution, the government accepts any law set by the people in relation to their culture, religion or lifestyle.”
The Pastoralist Communication Initiative parts company with UN OCHA
After six years of working as part of UN OCHA Ethiopia, the Pastoralist Communication Initiative became an independent project in May 2008. After extensive discussions with our pastoralist advisory panel, with members drawn from across Africa, PCI has increased its independence and become more pastoralist-directed.
