Restoring Community Trust and Building Peace in Conflict Communities (Rwanda Case Study)

Abstract

The process of building peace and establishing its foundations within societies, especially societies emerging from the stage of conflict, is an important and indispensable process. Without peace, the chances of obtaining a safe and stable life are reduced, and societies cannot work and progress towards a better future. Communities that have experienced violent conflict suffer from a tear in their social fabric, and feelings of fear, hatred, and ethnic discrimination prevail among the population, which necessitates searching for the best means to address this crisis and restore confidence among citizens in order to build positive peace in those societies.
