A missionary of social change desirous to see change through restoration and sustainable conflict resolution strategies that will fecundate lasting peace in the whole world. Conflict is inevitable, but its resolution by force or violence is not. The SDGs scrupulously spell the desire to see peace flourishing around the world. As a young influential and with passionate zeal to see peace around the world, this is my opportunity to give a hand the hot kiln. Yet, interstate conflict in the form of war has killed over three million people since World War II, these current crisis and uneasy relationships affecting my country and the world today are a festering sore in my heart. Violent response to conflict at the national level is arguably more serious. Civil wars, genocides and politicides have killed over 16 million people since the end of World War II, and have left economic and social systems severely disabled. Even non-violent conflict can disrupt political and social processes, slowing economic and social development. In my country this has led to stagnated economic growth emanating from political instability. In Zimbabwe scores of people died and some were injured in the wake of elections which were last held. This has partly been as a result of failed effective strategies to install lasting peace in the minds of the citizens. The social cost of conflict in families and the workplace is great and a fundamental aspect to consider, and too often escalates to physical violence. Regardless of the unit of analysis, constructive resolution of conflict is crucial to an improved and sustainable future. It has come to my realisation that the heart is the source of all evil, for a spoon in the hand of an enemy is deadlier than a machine gun in the hand of a friend. Demolitions, human mass slaughter are all weapons of mass destruction. Racism, tribalism dictatorship are the exact principles of power without moral purpose. Effective peacemakers must appreciate the perspectives of others, communicate in ways that reduce conflict, and grasp the historical, cultural, economic, and structural, as well as the impersonal conditions, that ease or exacerbate conflicts. We need devotion than bitterness. I need to be an Global Peace Ambassador in order to help the peacemakers to resolve conflict once and for all.
