Bengoma’s Chairperson Hawa Keita urging Muslims and Mandingos in Bong County to reconcile their differencesGbarnga, Bong County – A segment of the Mandingo ethnic group in Liberia, under the banner Bengoma Liberia, has launched a nationwide campaign to promote peace and reconciliation amongst Muslims and Mandingos in the country. Bengoma is a Muslim but Mandingo- dominated group, aimed at encouraging peace, reconciliation and co-existence amongst Muslims and Mandingos and the larger Liberian society. The chairperson of the group, Madam Hawa Keita, said Bengoma’s recent initiative is the organization’s way of re-echoing the need for reconciliation and unity in Liberia, especially in rural communities. She spoke Tuesday, April 16, 2019, during a meeting with the Muslim and Mandingo community in Gbarnga, Bong County where she challenged them to focus more on building themselves through peace and reconciliation. Muka-Kamara added that peace and reconciliation is only possible if Liberians forget the bitter past and embrace a glorious future.
