It has again been stressed that the role of women in the attainment of peace in any society can not be overemphasised.
Dr. Ngozi Orabueze, stated this recently while speaking at the international Women’s Peace Conference held in South Korea.
Orabueze is the Chief of Staff to the Biafra Republic Government in Exile and Defacto Government under Prime Minister Simon Ekpa.
According to Orabueze, women remain an integral part and veritable tool in the achievement of peace in any society.
In her speech, which was streamed to over 160 member countries across the globe during the international, HWPL/IWPG Conference, Orabueze emphasized the vital role women play in peace building.
She described women as the bedrock of any society with great skills in building, understanding, nurturing virtues on patience and social harmony.
She further argued that the ultimate recipients of the devastating consequences of ethnic and tribal crisis and conflicts in any given society remain the women.
“Peace is indeed not the absence of conflict, but the presence of justice; justice for the innocent lives lost, justice for the indigenous Nigerians displaced, and justice for the marginalized Biafrans,” She explained.
Orabueze said the opportunity of the conference was used to call the attention of the global community to the “continuous subjugation of Biafrans in Nigeria, through the means of brute military force by the Nigerian government resulting in extrajudicial killings of innocent people in the South-Eastern part of Nigeria.”
She submitted that the pains that come with wars are always better imagined hence, the urgent call for strict observation of inalienable rights of individuals and group of individuals, especially their fundamental right to self-determination.
Theo woman activist also called for an end to the ongoing cruelty, killings, forceful occupation, and confrontation and advocated compassion, peace, and dialogue.
Recall that the Biafra Republic government in Exile and Defacto Homeland has successfully carried out a Referendum where over 50 million Biafrans have voted to exit Nigeria
This just concluded Referendum will culminate in the declaration of the United States of Biafra in Finland on December 2nd, 2024, Orabueze said.
