In a disturbing development, a recent peace dialogue intended to foster reconciliation was overshadowed by the presence of heavily armed men. According to eyewitnesses, the group arrived at the meeting carrying AK-47 rifles, Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPGs), and General Machine Guns (GMGs). After the discussions, they reportedly left the venue still armed, disappearing back into the bush without disarming or handing over their weapons.

This alarming incident highlights the ongoing security challenges in the region, where distrust and violent confrontations continue to threaten peace efforts. Analysts say that such displays of force during peace talks undermine the trust necessary for meaningful dialogue and reconciliation.

Security experts stress the need for stronger enforcement measures and confidence-building steps to ensure that peace negotiations are conducted in safe and disarmed environments.

The situation remains tense, and local authorities are urged to act swiftly to prevent further escalation and promote genuine peace.
