NO TO PLITICAL VIOLENCE

POLITICAL VIOLENCE IN ZAMBIA — DIFFERENT PARTIES, ONE NATION!

Politics should be about ideas, leadership and the future of our country, not fighting, intimidation and violence.

Every election season, people come together to support their preferred political parties and candidates. Some attend rallies, others participate in campaigns, while many simply express their opinions about who they believe should lead the country.

Unfortunately, political differences can sometimes turn into arguments, threats and physical confrontations.

But here's something we should always remember: Supporting different political parties does not make us enemies.

The person wearing a different party's T-shirt could be your neighbour, your workmate, your friend or even a member of your own family.

When elections are over, we still share the same communities, markets, schools and hospitals. We still face the same everyday challenges as Zambians.

No political disagreement should cost someone their life, destroy someone's property or leave families suffering.

We can disagree about politics without fighting. We can campaign for our preferred candidates without intimidating others. And we can celebrate political victories without humiliating those who supported someone else.

Politicians will compete for positions, but ordinary Zambians must continue living together long after the campaigns are finished.

Let's make political campaigns about ideas, policies and peaceful participation rather than violence.

Is political violence caused by politicians, their supporters, or both? Share your thoughts in the comments.
