The Central President of PLANETE PAIX has on the occasion of “Book of the Month”, at the American Center located at US Embassy in Cote d’Ivoire, insisted that the dream (I Have a Dream) of the world’s famous dreamer, Martin Luther King, has been fulfilled in most of its components while defending the thesis that nonviolence is an effective tool for any social claim.

On January 18, 2020, the Central President of PLANETE PAIX and the Chief Police Commissioner of Bouaké District, Mr. Jean Claude Bissouma Séry made a communication as part of the activity organized by Planete Paix Gbeke section in collaboration with the Prefecture police and the American Corner Bouaké on the theme: ”
Youth of today: What civic acts for security in the city of Bouake? ”

The President’s communication focused specifically on FISCAL and POLITICAL CIVISM.

Tax compliance is the voluntary fulfillment by taxpayers of their tax obligations. It results in the completion of tax declarations, their timely filing as well as the spontaneous payment of tax due.

Political good citizenship applies in the context of a relationship with the institution representing the community: It is therefore a question of respect for “public affairs” and the personal affirmation of a political conscience. Citizenship therefore implies knowledge of one’s rights as well as one’s duties towards society. This means conquering, exercising and retaining power without violence, that is, in strict compliance with the law.

Indeed, incivism being at the base of several ills in Bouaké, the NGO Planète Paix section Gbêkê, did not want to remain indifferent in the face of this observation and decided to block this destructive act by organizing a conference to inform and train young people on this subject so that they in turn fight against this fact.
This conference on civics of Saturday January 19, 2020 which was held at the Allassane Ouattara University of Bouaké, aimed to instill civics in young people in order to make them ambassadors of security in the city of Bouaké with their friends.

During the conference, Marie-France KOFFI, President Champion Head of the NGO Planète Paix in Gbêkê Region, spoke in these terms << In view of the refusal by motorists to wear a helmet, it was decided that the general safety debate in the city of Bouaké should focus on the theme: "Youth today; what civic acts for safety in the city of Bouake? ” The two Speakers, Mr. ACHILLE COMOE Central President of the NGO Planete Paix and Mr. JEAN CLAUDE BISSOUMA SERY Senior Police Commissioner of the Bouake district insisted on the role of the youth by inviting them to more involvement. The Chief Commissioner Mr. JEAN CLAUDE BISSOUMA said that: "Since the security issue is not the sole responsibility of the authorities, civil society must be trained and informed about the attitudes to be followed. I believe that the youth of today can take civic action for better security in the city of Bouaké because the NGO Planete Paix has just shown us that they are Young people and agents of change> >.

Several people and structures responded favorably to the invitation, in particular those responsible for organizing civil society and representatives of the city authorities.

It was in a cordial atmosphere that this conference took place, closed by a program produced in order to collect the impressions of the participants.

Invited by the American Corner of Alassane Ouattara University and Planete Paix Gbêkè Section on January 17, 2020 on the occasion of the American program “The book of the month”, the Central President of PLANETE PAIX made a presentation on the subject : “MARTIN LUTHER KING:” A COMBATANT FOR FREEDOM AND A PEACE WORKER “.
He indicated that the Champion of Peace, the King was influenced by the strategy of the political leader, important spiritual guide of India and of the movement for the independence of this country Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, born in Porbandar on October 2, 1869 and died assassinated in Delhi on January 30, 1948. Besides, King will experience April 4, 1968 the same fate as the latter.

For him, non violence is an effective tool for the emancipation of oppressed peoples in the sense that it allows the moralization of society and therefore of politics. But, its effectiveness lies mainly in the fact that it is a powerful instrument of victimization thus making it possible to attract sympathy, pity, compassion, the gaze of third parties but also of the executioner on oneself.

Non violence is moreover, above all the expression of the Divine, of our humanity and of our divinity for others, the expression of the goodness of God which through a look of love, a gesture of brotherhood, of friendship, a smile, etc. challenges the other me that I suffer, the author of my suffering, the other me who violates my rights and freedoms.

It was a moment of joy and communion with all the participants.

This Monday, December 30, 2019, the Secretary of State responsible for Human Rights, Mrs. Aimée ZEBEYOUX, had a meeting of exchanges and information with civil society organizations.

This “family” meeting in which PLANETE PAIX participated allowed to exchange on socio-political current events and to give the position of the government on various questions including, among others, the arrest warrant launched against the former President of the National Assembly, Mr. Guillaume SORO, the new Independent Electoral Commission (CEI), early student leave and many other subjects.

These exchanges, which were appreciated by civil society organizations, allowed participants to better understand the government’s position on these subjects of national interest.

Ms. ZEBEYOUX took the opportunity to invite the organizations present to play their role by providing accurate information and preserving the climate of cohesion and social peace.
