Ending Hate, Political Violence and War: Memory, Conversion, and the God of Love

In a world scarred by political violence, wars, and divisions carried out in the name of God, this episode of Voice Afrique dares to speak truth. We challenge those who invoke God to justify violence, hatred, and extremism—reminding our listeners that such distortions betray the very heart of faith.

This episode is a call to memory—because we cannot build peace by forgetting. It is a summons to conversion—because true transformation must begin in our hearts before it can reshape our societies. And it is an invitation to collective action—because only together can we break the cycles of vengeance and hatred.

We reflect on the urgent need to embody God’s love and to see God in one another, across every difference, across every border. We explore how communities of faith and conscience can resist the seduction of violence and rediscover the humanity that unites us.

Voice Afrique brings prophetic voices, stories, and reflections that remind us: peace is not naïve, it is necessary. Ending wars fought in the name of God begins with daring to live in the name of love.
