In Bamako, Mali, the fifth day of the National Reconciliation Week (SENARE 2026) centered on remembering the past, fostering dialogue, and strengthening national peace and unity.
Participants in the reconciliation citizen camps visited the Army Museum to learn about the country’s collective memory and national defense. At the Bamako Pioneer Palace, leaders and representatives from social, educational, and traditional institutions joined camp participants for a discussion about the rights and responsibilities of Malian citizens and how to promote peace.
The event emphasized the importance of youth in building a resilient citizenry and lasting peace within the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA) and the sub-region. The day concluded with a joint closing ceremony for the Reconciliation Village and Citizen Camp. Organizers honored young people who competed in drone, video game, and esports events through the “Piloting Peace” initiative. They awarded certificates to the winners, participants in the “Kalan Blon” citizen camp, and representatives of the Reconciliation Village stands.
