NONVIOLENCE THROUGH AFRICAN PRINCIPLES
Inequality and injustice are human-made problems. Only creative and proactive humans can resolve them. Convinced that equity among people, respect for human dignity, and fair distribution of wealth are the pillars for positive peace in society, I recommend African principles to transform communities in Africa and the world. Educated in African spirituality, I use specific principles from this spirituality to teach solidarity, integrity, equity, self-reliance, and the sense of belonging in African Jesuit institutions as solutions by Africans to address African challenges. These principles are: “I am because we are, Ujamaa, Burkindlem, Ubuntu, and Zo Kwe Zo.”
