Editor,I am happy to hear that a conference of religious leaders from the Great Lakes Region this week agreed to set up a permanent forum that will enable Faith Based Organisations (FBOs) to promote peace in the region.

It is the responsibility of everybody to work for peace in the region and I would wish to encourage other members of society to take a leaf from FBOs. Endless fighting in this region has hampered economic development and it is high time we worked together to achieve total peace.Agnes, Kigali ----------------------------------------Editor,Great Initiative by Rwanda Governance Board. But, the challenge ahead is to make this Forum really work. We trust that RGB will put together the necessary infrastructure to make this Forum achieve its objectives.Mudakikwa, Kigali (Reaction to a story Regional Clerics set up forum to promote peace published on Thursday)
