Polygon peace theory: initiating and leading inter-cultural peace dialogue in Rwenzori region for peace building strategy

Abstract

This article presents the argument that polygon peace theory is model that provides a platform which silently engages parents and children into peaceful settlement of conflicts and fostering co-existence without biasness caused by selfish politicians. The horrific massacre that have occurred in Rwenzori since 1250AD in most cases have gone without causing public attention on front pages of news papers and headlines in national and international media houses. It seems in this 21 th Century some people still don't deserve equal human rights as to "them" whose human rights are protected by international laws. The human rights violation has not occurred in Rwenzori but also in other parts of the world with less recognized human rights. The "mystic rose problem" that have caused episodic conflicts can still get solution through applying polygon peace theory as identification of one side of the polygon can be measured to find its length. This opinion is based on lived experience and desk research of the author.
