Africa's media urged to promote peace

At the recent All Africa Conference of Churches (AACC) interim General Secretary, Melaku Kifle, said journalists in Africa had a duty of spreading messages of peace and human understanding instead of writing or broadcasting reports that "breaks families and promotes ethnic tensions". "We need journalism that acknowledges that human kind comes first and journalism second," he stated. Over 30 communicators from the 12 provinces of the Anglican Church in Africa attended the four-day workshop.
