Angola's history of war with 14 years of armed struggle for national liberation against Portuguese colonialism and 27 years of civil war has contributed to the establishment of a profound sense of peace in the South African Country.

Knowing the heavy consequences of armed conflicts for a society, embodied in the loss of human lives, lack of security, instability and economic downturn, it has decided to bet on the advocacy of peace, promoting dialogue as a way to solve any conflict in the continent.
