Shahid Ahmad Masud, Regional Missionary, Ivory Coast
On 15 November 2024, Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya Bondoukou, Ivory Coast, held its very first peace symposium, with the theme “Golden Rules for World Peace”, attended by 75 members and 45 external guests, including government officials and non-Ahmadi Imams.
The programme started with the recitation from the Holy Quran with its French translation, followed by a hadith and a speech by local missionary, Sawadogo Ahmad Sahib, on the need for global unity for establishing world peace. The second speech was delivered by my humble self, on this symposium’s theme. The third speech was delivered on “Importance of Peace in the society.” The event concluded with a short speech by the Naib Regional Qaid.
