- Racial/ethnic/national group
- Groups→Racial/ethnic/national group→RhetoricalPage 3, Preamble
This Declaration covers content from a multi- ethnic and farmer and grazer context of communities of five Local Government Areas (LGA’s) of Southern Kaduna; Sanga, Kachia, Kaura, Zangon Kataf and Jema’a. This Declaration records agreements arrived at as a first step towards achieving lasting peace.
Page 4, Preamble
Deeply concerned by continued sporadic armed conflicts and deep hatred between ethnic and religious groups in some parts of Southern Kaduna;
Page 5, Section I, Article v Observe that the five Local Government Areas in Southern Kaduna; Sanga, Kachia, Kaura, Zangon Kataf and Jema’a are divided societies, polarized in some of the most institutionalised structures such as housing areas specific to ethnic groups, Christian and Muslim Schools, ethnic or religious based markets as well as cultural activities, yet many people in the dialogue expressed the wish that this was not so.
Page 5, Section I, Article vii
Assert that the success of this dialogue will be translated into a common need for an interdependent future, in which all ethnic and religious communities feel that their survival depends on the existence of those they have previously thought of as the “other”.
Page 5, Section II, Article ii
The Nigerian Constitution declares the concept of indigeneity, among other reasons, to protect the minority communities against the fear of domination by the larger ethnic communities.
Page 6, Section II, Article viii
Violent conflict spillovers: Across state borders, ethnic and religious communities.Groups→Racial/ethnic/national group→SubstantivePage 8, Section IV, Article v
Avoid criminalizing entire ethnic communities when one of their own commits a crime.
Page 8, Section IV, Article vi
Not be party to violence, intimidation and any other practices that may breach peace, and inhibit the attainment of harmonious relations between different ethnic and religious groups.
Page 8, Section IV, Article vii Support the promotion of tolerance, understanding and acceptance of diversity on the basis of ethnicity and religion.
Page 9, Section VII, Article i f
Prioritize economic and social regeneration and investment and enhance opportunities for sharing across ethnic and religious communities: Communities have raised concerns over disparities in the delivery of social and public utility services particularly in areas of high polarization. We recommend a huge change of culture by the State Government of Kaduna within it’s departments, agencies and public bodies to serve every community equally and pass the message across that equal treatment directly translates into building blocks for ethnic and religious co- existence.
Page 10, Section VII, Article i g
Explore opportunities for ethnic and religious communities to live in the same residential areas: Current levels of residential segregation make it possible for communities to declare “no go areas” for those considered not their “own” that has resulted in deaths, disappearances or injuries to those from “other” ethnic or religious communities. We encourage the State Government to create a conducive policy environment that will support the adoption of an approach for model inter-ethnic and inter- religious housing.
Page 10, Section VII, Article i h
Engender inter-ethnic and inter- religious resettlement of IDP’s for cohesion, integration and harmonious co-existence: We commend ongoing efforts to address the plight of IDP’s and ensure official resettlement activities or voluntary individual movements to new areas do not divide communities farther along ethnic or religious lines. - Religious groups
- Groups→Religious groups→RhetoricalPage 4, Preamble
Deeply concerned by continued sporadic armed conflicts and deep hatred between ethnic and religious groups in some parts of Southern Kaduna;
Page 4, Preamble

Religious preachers: Religious preachers should operate within a code of conduct that discourages provocative preaching and inciting statements at the pulpit and religious gatherings. - Indigenous people
- Groups→Indigenous people→RhetoricalPage 5, Section II, Article i
There exist fundamental fault lines within communities that manifest through violence, more so during periods before, during and after elections. These differences are grounded in discrimination based on the status of the person as either indigene or settler as partly informed by history.Groups→Indigenous people→SubstantivePage 5, Section II, Article ii
The Nigerian Constitution declares the concept of indigeneity, among other reasons, to protect the minority communities against the fear of domination by the larger ethnic communities.
Page 5, Section II, Article iii
This has had some unintended effects, such as cementing divisions among Nigerians as either being first indigene or settler, rather than citizens of Nigeria. - Other groups
No specific mention.
- Refugees/displaced persons
- Groups→Refugees/displaced persons→SubstantivePage 5, Section II
This Declaration acknowledges that there have been stringent demands by communities in this dialogue that include the need to:
...
ii. Resettle or compensate Internally Displaced People (IDP’s);
iii. Offer reparation to victims and work towards institutional reforms to prevent further violence;
iv. Recognize the history of oppression by some communities against each other with narratives of pain passed on from generation to generation that in turn contributed to violence to the communities perceived as oppressors.
Page 10, Section VII, Article i h
Engender inter-ethnic and inter- religious resettlement of IDP’s for cohesion, integration and harmonious co-existence: We commend ongoing efforts to address the plight of IDP’s and ensure official resettlement activities or voluntary individual movements to new areas do not divide communities farther along ethnic or religious lines. - Social class

- Page 3, Preamble
We, the parties to this Declaration are: development/cultural associations, Traditional Councils, youth, women, religious and respected opinion leaders and elders brought together by the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue (HD), with our consent, because of our history of Inter-communal, farmer and grazer and religious violence. Southern Kaduna has had a number of experiences of violent conflict that constitute a major threat to peace and security. Electoral disputes, farmer and grazer differences in particular, have caused violence, deaths, injuries, loss of property, trauma, widows and orphans, poverty and massive displacements. The stakeholders in this Declaration are convinced that a necessary condition for establishing lasting peace in our State is the resort to dialogue to resolve conflicts.
Page 4, Section I, Article ii
Note that the conflicts in Kaduna have nevertheless left their mark on the whole society but specifically affect vulnerable groups including women, children, youths and persons with disability more and stress the need to provide adequate support for them to rebuild their lives.
Page 8, Section V, Article i
i. Conflict prevention plan: The plan will bring on board the joint efforts of all stakeholders including at the State level, traditional and faith based leaders, women and youth that puts in place a tension management mechanism that;
• Creates a linkage between early warning and early response.
• Ensure continuous monitoring of violent conflict situations.
• Intervene in conflict situations and pursue such measures as are necessary to arrest and redress the situation.
• Make appropriate recommendations for action by law enforcement agencies.
• Provide broad civic education on rights, obligations and cohesion as well as religious studies.
• Teach conflict prevention and conflict transformation skills to young people.
Undertake bilateral consultations and advocacy with political leaders to reinforce messages, identify areas of mutual concern and agreement.
Page 8, Section V, Article iv
Begin and sustain tracks of dialogues among key non-political stakeholders such as business leaders, women’s organizations and civil society organizations to influence and facilitate discussions between political actors.
Page 9, Section V, Article v
Inclusion of women and youths, persons with disability in decision- making and peace processes: On many occasions, reconciliation and dialogue efforts exclude meaningful participation of women and youth. This exclusion causes disenchantment and negative perception of the outcomes of reconciliation efforts.
Page 9, Section VII, Article i d
Create a body to promote peace and reconciliation amongst communities that will:
• Bring perpetrators to justice, inclusive of both indigenes and settlers.
• Consider the compensation of all affected people.
• Address past wrongs drawing on the wisdom and expertise of traditional conflict resolution mechanisms.
• Ensure the inclusion and active participation of women, youths and persons with disability in all peace processes.
• Prevent and protect women against violence.
• Advance and protect human rights, administrative justice and integrity in private and public life.
• Foster respect for the rule of law, transparency and accountability.

PREAMBLE
We, the parties to this Declaration are:
development/cultural associations, Traditional Councils, youth, women, religious and respected opinion leaders and elders brought together by the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue (HD), with our consent, because of our history of Inter-communal, farmer and grazer and religious violence.
Southern Kaduna has had a number of experiences of violent conflict that constitute a major threat to peace and security.
Electoral disputes, farmer and grazer differences in particular, have caused violence, deaths, injuries, loss of property, trauma, widows and orphans, poverty and massive displacements.
The stakeholders in this Declaration are convinced that a necessary condition for establishing lasting peace in our State is the resort to dialogue to resolve conflicts.
This Declaration covers content from a multi- ethnic and farmer and grazer context of communities of five Local Government Areas (LGA’s) of Southern Kaduna;
Sanga, Kachia, Kaura, Zangon Kataf and Jema’a.
This Declaration records agreements arrived at as a first step towards achieving lasting peace.
The Southern Kaduna State Inter-Communal Dialogue:
Convinced that without peace, Kaduna State, cannot consolidate unity and promote democracy and development;
Convinced that dialogue and the non-resort to violence can lead to a lasting solution for Kaduna State’s Inter-communal conflicts;
Reaffirms that respect for human rights is indispensable for the maintenance of peace and security in Kaduna State and that it constitutes one of the fundamental blocks for sustainable development;
Further reaffirms the principles enshrined in the 1999 Nigeria constitution as amended, in particular Chapter 4, section 33, subsection 1, which says “each person has a right to life, and no one shall be deprived intentionally of his life, save in execution of the sentence of the court in respect of a criminal offence of which he has been found guilty in Nigeria”.
Recall the official launching of the Kaduna Inter- Communal Dialogues held in Kafanchan, at which the Governor of the State Government of Kaduna gave the assurances “of the full support of his Government as we forge ahead in the quest for mutually agreed solutions to the problems that face us as people and that no number of soldiers, armed policemen can enthrone peace (…) Peace is achieved only when the people themselves, in all sincerity of purpose opt for peace and work diligently towards its achievements”.
Deeply concerned by continued sporadic armed conflicts and deep hatred between ethnic and religious groups in some parts of Southern Kaduna;
Notes with satisfaction the important practical steps that have been taken to implement conflict resolution through the activities of civil society and faith-based organizations;
Commends the practical measures that have been taken by the Kaduna State Government to interpret conflict resolution and noting the need to anchor it to the change agenda;
Recognizes that notwithstanding these measures, there are still considerable shortcomings, in conflict prevention and resolution which are aggravated by shortages of facilities and resources;
and
Welcomes the growing partnerships between Kaduna State Government, civil society and faith-based organizations;
Therefore, we the undersigned, acting on behalf of the following communities in the Local Government Areas of:
Sanga:
Ayu, Fulani, Gwandara, Hausa, Mada, Nandu, Ninzo and Numana.
Kachia:
Adara, Bajju, Fulani, Hausa, Ikulu, Jaba and Kuturmi.
Kaura:
Fulani, Hausa, Igbo, Kagoro, Sholio and Takad.
Zangon Kataf:
Atyap, Bajju, Fulani, Hausa, Ikulu, Kamantan and Yoruba.
Jema’a:
Bajju, Fantswam, Fulani, Gwong, Hausa, Kaninkon, Igbo.
Solemnly adopt the following as “The Kafanchan Peace Declaration”.
PURPOSE
We:
Acknowledge that the primary responsibility for the protection of the rights and security of the people of Kaduna lies with the State.
Note that the conflicts in Kaduna have nevertheless left their mark on the whole society but specifically affect vulnerable groups including women, children, youths and persons with disability more and stress the need to provide adequate support for them to rebuild their lives.
Understand that communities are increasingly willing to break down the barriers of mistrust between and within communities.
Affirm the need to translate the aspirations for peaceful coexistence into serious infrastructure that can make changes happen.
This requires political and social goals and a timeline for action.
Observe that the five Local Government Areas in Southern Kaduna;
Sanga, Kachia, Kaura, Zangon Kataf and Jema’a are divided societies, polarized in some of the most institutionalised structures such as housing areas specific to ethnic groups, Christian and Muslim Schools, ethnic or religious based markets as well as cultural activities, yet many people in the dialogue expressed the wish that this was not so.
Understand that despite this nostalgia for a past in which people peacefully co- existed, long term intervention is still required to support communities and individuals to come to terms with their pasts, challenges, prejudices, biases and stereotypes which in turn translate into actual discrimination and violence and a “we versus them” mentality.
Assert that the success of this dialogue will be translated into a common need for an interdependent future, in which all ethnic and religious communities feel that their survival depends on the existence of those they have previously thought of as the “other”.
II.ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF VIOLENCE
There exist fundamental fault lines within communities that manifest through violence, more so during periods before, during and after elections.
These differences are grounded in discrimination based on the status of the person as either indigene or settler as partly informed by history.
The Nigerian Constitution declares the concept of indigeneity, among other reasons, to protect the minority communities against the fear of domination by the larger ethnic communities.
This has had some unintended effects, such as cementing divisions among Nigerians as either being first indigene or settler, rather than citizens of Nigeria.
This Declaration acknowledges that there have been stringent demands by communities in this dialogue that include the need to:
Bring the perpetrators of past violence to justice;
Resettle or compensate Internally Displaced People (IDP’s);
Offer reparation to victims and work towards institutional reforms to prevent further violence;
Recognize the history of oppression by some communities against each other with narratives of pain passed on from generation to generation that in turn contributed to violence to the communities perceived as oppressors.
This Declaration acknowledges all of these demands as being legitimate.
Socio-political engineering by political players:
This has usually been successful in mobilizing communities to the extent that members on opposite sides of the political divide adopt hardline and ultimately counter-productive stances on matters that could ordinarily be resolved to the benefit of all.
Weakening of traditional conflict resolution mechanisms systems:
Traditional leadership and conflict resolution systems have been weakened, reducing the capacity of communities to manage and prevent conflict and criminality.
Vacuum existing in arbitration and mediation mechanisms:
This vacuum has created the need for physical security to become of paramount concern with various forces such as vigilantes and ethnic militias attempting to provide security alongside security forces.
Consequently, the competition of the various forces is less effective security for all, less effective capacity of Government institutions to provide services, maintain law and order.
Impunity:
Lack of apprehension and prosecution of perpetrators.
Weak political will:
by successive governments to end violence and implement recommendations of various governmental White Papers, Committees and Commissions.
Idle youth:
Unemployed youth with easy access to drugs are easily lured into violent acts.
Failure to compensate victims of crisis:
Resulting in pent-up feelings of anger easily translated into violence.
Violent conflict spillovers:
Across State borders, ethnic and religious communities.

IV.CODE OF CONDUCT;
We shall;
Support a policy driven approach for
Integrated markets particularly in a bid to improve inter- communal relations by bringing people together in a shared and safe environment.
Supporting our communities to launch common goals such as trading with one another;
Emphasizing to the State Government that no group should be viewed as being more important than the other.
Stop the use of derogatory names such as Agwoi (unenlightened person), Bako Mara Gari (stranger who has no abode/town/land), “Arne” (atheist) and Kaffir (unbelievers).
Identify effective strategies and processes to transform youth previously involved in violent behavior.
Resolve to always dialogue as the most effective means of conflict resolution.
Avoid criminalizing entire ethnic communities when one of their own commits a crime.
Not be party to violence, intimidation and any other practices that may breach peace, and inhibit the attainment of harmonious relations between different ethnic and religious groups.
Support the promotion of tolerance, understanding and acceptance of diversity on the basis of ethnicity and religion.
V.FOLLOW UP ACTIONS
Conflict prevention plan:
The plan will bring on board the joint efforts of all stakeholders including at the State level, traditional and faith based leaders, women and youth that puts in place a tension management mechanism that;
Creates a linkage between early warning and early response.
Ensure continuous monitoring of violent conflict situations.
Intervene in conflict situations and pursue such measures as are necessary to arrest and redress the situation.
Make appropriate recommendations for action by law enforcement agencies.
Provide broad civic education on rights, obligations and cohesion as well as religious studies.
Teach conflict prevention and conflict transformation skills to young people.
Undertake bilateral consultations and advocacy with political leaders to reinforce messages, identify areas of mutual concern and agreement.
iii. Assist to establish permanent conflict prevention and peace building mechanisms at community level.
Begin and sustain tracks of dialogues among key non-political stakeholders such as business leaders, women’s organizations and civil society organizations to influence and facilitate discussions between political actors.
Inclusion of women and youths, persons with disability in decision- making and peace processes:
On many occasions, reconciliation and dialogue efforts exclude meaningful participation of women and youth.
This exclusion causes disenchantment and negative perception of the outcomes of reconciliation efforts.
VI.DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Traditional, community and religious leaders should be strengthened and empowered to resolve conflict before and after escalation.
Introduce Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods and capacity building at the community level.
VII.REQUESTS TO OTHER PROCESSES AND INSTITUTIONS Recommendations to:
The Kaduna State Government:
a. Revive rehabilitation centers in all Local Government Area to enable provision of skills and allowances for persons with disabilities.
b. Create employment and keep youth out of engaging in conflict by reviving the following industries;
flour mills, chalk, Ginger processing, fruit processing, oil processing and Gurara dam to provide electricity and water to communities.
c.Implement all White Papers, reports and recommendations of previous Committees and Commissions and or;
d.Create a body to promote peace and reconciliation amongst communities that will:
Bring perpetrators to justice, inclusive of both indigenes and settlers.
Consider the compensation of all affected people.
Address past wrongs drawing on the wisdom and expertise of traditional conflict resolution mechanisms.
Ensure the inclusion and active participation of women, youths and persons with disability in all peace processes.
Prevent and protect women against violence.
Advance and protect human rights, administrative justice and integrity in private and public life.
Foster respect for the rule of law, transparency and accountability.
Ensure public safety and security.
Embrace the language of a clear and profound approach to change in dealing with peace and conflict:
Communication is key to changing attitudes.
Clear and unequivocal language that prioritises reconciliation needs to be articulated in all communication by all government agencies.
Prioritize economic and social regeneration and investment and enhance opportunities for sharing across ethnic and religious communities:
Communities have raised concerns over disparities in the delivery of social and public utility services particularly in areas of high polarization.
We recommend a huge change of culture by the State Government of Kaduna within it’s departments, agencies and public bodies to serve every community equally and pass the message across that equal treatment directly translates into building blocks for ethnic and religious co- existence.
Explore opportunities for ethnic and religious communities to live in the same residential areas:
Current levels of residential segregation make it possible for communities to declare “no go areas” for those considered not their “own” that has resulted in deaths, disappearances or injuries to those from “other” ethnic or religious communities.
We encourage the State Government to create a conducive policy environment that will support the adoption of an approach for model inter-ethnic and inter- religious housing.
Engender inter-ethnic and inter- religious resettlement of IDP’s for cohesion, integration and harmonious co-existence:
We commend ongoing efforts to address the plight of IDP’s and ensure official resettlement activities or voluntary individual movements to new areas do not divide communities farther along ethnic or religious lines.
i.Reduce inter-communal suspicions, prevent conflict and build a shared future by investing in education through;
Demonstrating active political support for integrated and shared education facilities.
Invest in training teachers on how to teach in an integrated setting to students across ethnic and religious communities.
Encourage collaborative working arrangements between schools on, for instance, sharing playgrounds, school buses or taking joint lessons.
Include the teaching of peace and conflict resolution skills in school curriculum from primary, secondary and tertiary institutions.
j.Ensure appropriate awareness and linkages between conflict prevention and resolution initiatives at Federal and State level.
Address corruption decisively due to its current and future negative implications as impunity thrives in societies where Inter-communal differences are entrenched.
Map all actors working on peace building in Kaduna State to avoid duplication of efforts.
ii. Civil Society and the International Community working in Kaduna
Develop collaborations to ensure that programmes are coherent with Government policies to prevent and resolve conflicts.
Mobilize massive support for micro projects to train the women, youths and persons with disability.
Media and dissemination of Hate Speech:
Enact enabling laws to discourage incitement and hate speech and train media on conflict sensitive reporting.
Religious preachers:
Religious preachers should operate within a code of conduct that discourages provocative preaching and inciting statements at the pulpit and religious gatherings.
