Book launch at Goethe

Book Launch: Peace Building & Conflict Management in Kenya, Feb. 13 2013 @ Goethe Institut

Book launch at Goethe
The Political Scientist and Geographer, Prof. Emeritus Dr. Johannes Michael Nebe, will present his latest book “Peace Building and Conflict Management in Kenya” at the Goethe-Institut in Nairobi.

The book is a documentation of experiences and observations made by Prof. Nebe after many years of travelling through Africa. It also covers the crisis in Kenya immediately after the elections of 2007.

The findings in this book will provoke a new way of thinking and actions aimed at improving the situation of peace-building in the Kenyan society. Everybody has a role to play because peace, reconciliation and healing are the most fundamental cornerstones for social stability and democracy. Although it’s a small contribution it aims to enhance and encourage others to strengthen their political will to give Kenya a better way for a multi-ethnic state.

Date & Time: Wednesday, 13th February, 6.00 p.m.
Venue: Goethe-Institut Auditorium
Entrance free

The German Ambassador, Mrs. Margit Hellwig-Boette, and the Chairman of the National Cohesion and Integration Commission, Dr. Mzalendo Kibunjia, will be in attendance.
