Foundation for Peace Professionals also known as PeacePro at the weekend said about 70 per cent African nations are more peaceful situations than United States of America.

Executive Director of the organisation, Mr. Abdulrazaq Hamzat, stated this in Ilorin at a press conference yesterday on the sideline of the maiden edition of Africa Peace Insight (API) report in Nigeria, popularly known as the giant of Africa.

He said that, “The report is also based on the online public presentation which had 129 participants.

Hamzat stated: “The report named Mauritius, Sierra Leone, Botswana, Equatorial Guinea and Tunisia as most peaceful countries across the 5 subregions of Africa and it equally listed South Africa, Sudan, South Sudan, Mali and Democratic Republic of Congo as least peaceful countries across the sub region.”

He noted “the Africa Peace Insight is an extracted report from the Global Peace Index (GPI), produced by Australia based Institute of Economics and Peace (IEP) to contextualize, simplify and further breakdown the GPI from a continental perspective”.

Hamzat explained that, Africa Peace Insight report spotlight ongoing conflict in Africa including the situation in ECOWAS led West Africa and the ongoing crisis in Sudan, review findings of Global Peace Index, presented Africa as a single entity by extracting North Africa rating from Middle East as done by the GPI, outline the most and least peaceful countries across the sub region and provide recommendation on pressing peace-building concern in the continent”.

While commenting on the review of Global Peace Index, the report says that more than 70 per cent of the continent is more peaceful than the United States, despite the huge challenges in the continent, adding that no African country is amongst top 3 least peaceful countries in the world for 4 consecutive years.

It also noted that Africa is the epicenter of global crisis, as the Ethiopian civil war recorded more death than any other conflict in the world, yet it wondered why the continent didn’t get commensurate relief support compared to Ukraine, which had less casualties.

Hamzat also outline the five major observation of the Africa Peace Insight.

According to him, foreign military presence is directly proportional to proliferation of arms and growing insecurity in the continent.

The report noted that, “despite the huge mineral exploration taking place in the continent, it doesn’t receive commensurate economic returns to clean up its environment, create economic prosperity and provide employment for its teeming youth population.

“Africa Peace Insight concluded with 2 major recommendations, which is to de-militarize Africa through ending all foreign military presence within a set time frame and developing a joint continental gateway to global mineral market”.

32 African Nations are better than USA in GPI.
Better than 14 other African Nations under consideration.

As of Aug. 1, at least 25,198 people have died from gun violence in the U.S. this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive – which is an average of roughly 118 deaths each day.

I know two Nigerian young graduates who parent sold what he had to send to USA, only for them to be crying over same child falling under gun violence.
Meanwhile, he supposedly ran away from Nigeria death. Not knowing America will offer him a faster one.

bilms:


You are really aware of the development

Arapmoi22:



I worked with an European based International Company in their Nigerian subsidiary.

Brother, I do checked USA gun violence data at least twice a week.

Our IT office in Europe knew it and blocked me from visiting the site.

Now I use my phone which they don't have control over.

So, it is a data I followed regularly.

Gun Violence in America killed five times what Boko Haram or Bandits has killed in Nigeria yearly.

Tinubustar:
And they'll be claiming to make peace between others when they are no better!!😡😒

bilms:


They are not claiming anything really.

We are the one's delibrately painting the worse about us.

That's not their fault.

Arapmoi22:


A black man had been conditioned to be inferior.
Hence, we believe anything western is better.
It is a complex. Inferiority one at that.
Do you know a typical Nigerian feel proud when talking down his Nation?
It is like winning a medal to them.

If you are going to lie, you should at least carefully choose dumb and ignorant audience.
The US gun statistics is not a secret, it can be accessed from hundreds of sources.
Any kid with internet can check it.

Let me even assume you have a job.
If you are banned from accessing specific websites, that must have been because you are wasting productive time
on frivolous websites instead of doing the job you are being paid for.

Arapmoi22:

This is the most comprehensive of Gun violence Report link you can get : https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/

It was blocked on my company Laptop.

Most other sources reports it as news, though some few others still do it as data.

I don't need to respond to your other Tantrums.

However, I don't know how you failed to know that I have 1 hour for my lunch to check anything I want to within 5-10 minutes.

I don't know how they did not tell you that 10 minutes twice a week is just 20 minutes out of 5 hours I am entitled to.

I am also surprised that they didn't tell you that I have the official laptop with me 24/7 to choose the time I like to check what I wanted (both for the job or personal).

May God help your understanding and deliver you from Assumptions.

So, one private 3rd party data collector website that most people have never heard of was blocked on your company laptop and voila
European/western company is blocking you.
Even the website clearly explains why you might get blocked on its main page:
https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/explainer

I am curious though, do you check the stats each time you read a violent deaths news
about Nigeria in order to compare and feel good about the news?

ivolt:
To the OP, comparing your country's security situation against the worse is senseless.
If you have ever lost a close one to violence, you would realise that it doesn't matter
if 1 million Americans are killed per day.

[b]When your data is Verified with CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). I don't know whether that is not Goverment certifying your Data in America.

Anyway you can see https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2023/cdc-provisional-data-gun-suicides-reach-all-time-high-in-2022-gun-homicides-down-slightly-from-2021#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20provisional%20CDC%20data%2C%2048%2C117%20people,died%20by%20guns%20in%202022%20compared%20to%202021.
for CDC report for 2022.

Your Explainer did tell you that IPs can do the blocking. Know that the site is not an interactive one. So, GVA disclaimed that it doesn't block anyone.

To your last question, Data is there for comparative analysis. it doesn't matter which country is being compared. Canada to Denmark, Afghanistan to Sudan, South Africa to Nigeria, anything to anything. Data is meant for Analysis.

Would you have praised God if Boko Haram had been killing 118 Nigerians daily with Gun just to have higher rates than America?

Data is there for analysis. Sometimes it tells you you are doing well, another it showed you are doing bad.[/b]
