Grassroots Dialogue Aims to Heal Amhara-Oromo Social Fabric 2025-10-31 10:05:51 |
| A new initiative has established intra-ethnic community peace dialogue platforms, bringing together local Amhara and Oromo members—with dedicated representation for women, youth, and adults. These forums are designed to create a safe and structured environment for participants to openly address the complex historical, political, and social grievances that have led to the weakening of trust and coexistence between the groups. The core mission is to move beyond surface-level tensions and directly confront the root causes of the repeated breaches in their social fabric.\r\n\r\nThe dialogues will focus on facilitating honest conversations where communities themselves can identify and articulate the core drivers of conflict. From this foundation of shared understanding, the platform will empower participants to collaboratively develop localized, practical solutions and action plans. The ultimate goal is to foster genuine reconciliation from the ground up, rebuilding the bonds of social trust and creating a resilient foundation for lasting peace between the Amhara and Oromo peoples. |
