Participants also resolved to facilitate the establishment of Peace Committees and Inter-Party Dialogue groups in their various communities, among others.  They however called on the natives in the area, the Diaspora, stakeholders, and Civil Society Organisations including local, national and international organizations to support their efforts in the way of peace and development.
