General News of Monday, 8 April 2019Source: classfmonline.comEnd political thuggery now – CoalitionThe Coalition wants CSOs to be included in the mediation processThe Coalition of Civil Societies Against Political Vigilantism (CCSAPV), made up of 48 CSOs, has called for an end to the use of party militias in Ghana by reflecting on the consequences of violence as Rwanda marks 25 years since approximately 1,000,000 of its citizens were slaughtered. President Nana Akufo-Addo has already tasked the leadership of the two main political parties in Ghana to meet and find solutions to the political thuggery conundrum. The Coalition further requested the National Peace Council, tasked to mediate the talks, to include civil society organisations in the process “so that we can do effective monitoring of the compliance level of these political parties”. The Coalition commended Rwandans for the successes they have been able to achieve after the devastating consequences of the genocide. The Coalition is made up of over 50 CSOs and many more joining by the day.
