GAR Peace Council member to present paper at Oxford

 Alhaji Khuzaima Moham­med Osman, a member of the National Peace Council of Ghana (NPC), who chairs the Finance and Fundraising Commit­tee of the Greater Accra Regional Peace Council of the NPC, has been invited to present an academ­ic research paper on ‘Conflict Res­olution: A Ghanaian perspective in the African context’, at the bi-an­nual symposium at the University of Oxford, United Kingdom from March 19-21, 2025.

Abstract of the paper shared with The Ghanaian Times read as follows:

Conflict resolution is a crucial aspect of social cohesion and sustainable development in any society. In Africa, where diver­sity is abundant, understanding the various cultural perspectives on conflict resolution becomes paramount. This paper explores conflict resolution from a Ghana­ian perspective and highlights its relevance in the broader African context. It examines traditional African conflict resolution mecha­nisms and their adaptability in the modern era.

Additionally, the paper empha­sises the importance of incor­porating indigenous knowledge systems into formal conflict resolution frameworks for more effective and inclusive outcomes.

Alhaji Osman is expected to leave Accra to the United King­dom in March to attend the sym­posium and another in Toronto, Canada before returning home in April 2025.

Alhaji Awaisu Bio, the Executive Secretary of the Office of Nation­al Chief Imam, said “Members of the Islamic community including himself are very proud and have expressed joy and gratitude to Al­lah for this milestone achievement by a Ghanaian Muslim brother to have such a great opportunity to present a paper at the oldest and most prestigious university in the world”.

Alhaji Khuzaima Osman is also the Executive Secretary of the Tijjaniya Muslims Movement of Ghana (TMMG).
