Kenya’s handshake experiment to foster peace across the political divide featured prominently at the 2018 Global Peace Conference for East Africa and the Great Lakes region that ended in Uganda over the weekend.
The Conference held at the Munyonyo Commonwealth Resort in Kampala under the theme “New Models for Sustainable Peace and Development” heard how the handshake had positive ripple effect across the world, borne out by the recent Donald Trump/Kim Jong Un handshake in Singapore over the Korean impasse, the handshake in Khartoum between South Sudan President Salva Kiir and his arch rival Riek Machar, the recent handshake between Eritrea President Isaias Afeworki and new Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali that had normalized long strained relationship between the two sister countries and the Trump/ Putin handshake at their controversial summit in Helsinki, Finland.
