I want to draw your attention to two major reports from the meetings organized by the central commission in Rome.

The International workshop on non-violence and conflict resolution
for Comboni missionaries and Comboni missionary sisters held at Sizanani, S.Africa in November 2000.
The goal was to empower people
- to cope with experiences of violence and war,
- in a theology of non violence and peace making
- in methods of conflict resolution and active non-violence
- to form teams for animation in their respective provinces.

The document comprises:

• The Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa. Dynamics of social reconciliation by Fr. Sean O'Leary, M.Afr.
• Tools to analyze conflicts and ways to enhance the peace process. Early warning and conflict resolution in Africa: the case of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) by Prof. Hussein Solomon
• TRC Report, volume Four, chapter Ten, special hearing: Women Plus a personal witness of Ms. Corlette Letlojane.
• The methods of non-violent action by Mr. Gunvant Govindjee
• Healing of memories by Fr. Michael Lapsley, SSM

Worth reading is the statement signed by all the participants
