Sports promoting Peace in Marsabit

Sports promoting Peace in Marsabit
June 20, 2019 Eastern Newspaper
By Hillary Mukasa

Worldwide sports are an instrument for promoting peace, as it disregards both geographical borders and social classes.

Sports is a powerful tool to strengthen social ties and networks and to promote ideals of peace, fraternity, solidarity, non-violence, tolerance and justice.

Tournaments such as the Chapa dimba na Safaricom that are hosted annually have united people in Marsabit. Last year in the Chapa dimba regional football tournament Marsabit was represented by Saku Queens in the category for girls and Batiye junior FC in the boys category.

In 2018 pupils from three conservancies in Marsabit County came together to promote peace through inter conservancies tournament.

This sports tournament in this county brought together teachers, community members and conservancy board members.

Through sports events there are informal peace meetings between community representatives. During these tournaments children are spoken to about good discipline and hard work.

They also get an opportunity to interact with peers from other communities.
