Senator Ike Ekweremadu has called on the International Parliament for Tolerance and Peace in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to pay more attention to the xenophobic attacks within the continent.
The former Speaker of the Parliament of ECOWAS commended Abiy Ahmed on his recent efforts at promoting peace in Ethiopia as well as with the neighbouring country, Eritrea.
Read some of his statements below:
“There is a growing trend in acts and incidences of intolerance, which is destroying the brotherhood, peace, and mutual relationship among the people of Africa.
“As a special parliament focusing on tolerance and peace, we will not close our eyes to the cases of xenophobia wherever it exists.
“I also appeal to our brothers and sisters in Africa to not only continue to tolerate, but to also respectfully accept one another as one people with a common destiny.”
