The Inter-Communal Dialogue and Conflict Mediation project in Jos started in January 2013. From January to July 2013, HD has held consultative meetings with five community groups namely the Afizere, Anaguta, Berom, Hausa and Fulani; Religious leaders; Federal and State Government and women and youth groups on the proposed project, as well as sought buy in for the proposed process.
The project, supported by the Canadian Government, has been geared towards achieving an agreement between the communities to end the dispute in Jos, and foster inter-communal co-operation leading to fewer incidents of violence. The Inter-communal dialogue and conflict mediation process itself, ‘The Jos Forum’, was launched in August 2013, with a formal opening ceremony attended by numerous members of the five communities, Federal and State Government officials, Religious leaders, women and youth groups, as well as civil society representatives.
HD successfully hosted seven dialogue sessions on various issues, including interim sessions to deal with the emerging tensions in Jos countryside.

In this image taken in 1996, a UN conex box sits starkly in front of the richly detailed façade of what is now the Sarajevo Olympic Museum—once a mansion built in 1903 for politician Nikola Mandić, and later a cultural icon honoring the 1984 Winter Olympic Games. At the time this photo was captured, the museum building had only narrowly survived the siege of Sarajevo (1992–1996), a brutal conflict that devastated the city’s civic and cultural infrastructure. The juxtaposition of the temporary, utilitarian United Nations shelter with the ornate Austro-Hungarian architecture behind it speaks volumes about the contrast between war’s disruption and Sarajevo’s storied past.
The conex box—stenciled with the letters “UN” and marked BH-UNE/6340—would have served as a field office, checkpoint post, or temporary housing for UN peacekeepers involved in the earliest implementation stages of the Dayton Peace Accords. Barbed wire, stacked barricades, and snow-dusted streets evoke the daily tension that persisted even after open hostilities ceased. Peace had been signed on paper, but Sarajevo was still fragile, heavily monitored, and quietly rebuilding amid trauma.
Behind the conex is the museum itself—damaged during the war, and not fully restored until decades later. Today, the building once again hosts exhibits dedicated to Olympic history, Sarajevo’s cultural heritage, and the enduring spirit of international sportsmanship. But in 1996, the site was scarred and empty, a shell of its former self, guarded by foreign troops and overshadowed by the memory of snipers and artillery fire.
This photograph captures a rare moment in time—postwar liminality. The war is over, but the peace is raw. The museum stands as a symbol of endurance, the UN conex as a marker of intervention and transition. The quiet snowfall and empty street are deceptive; behind the calm, an entire city was reorienting itself after the longest siege in modern European history.

In August 2013, HD launched the inter-communal dialogue process (HD’s Jos Forum) with an official ceremony attended by members of eight communities, Federal and State Government officials, religious leaders as well as representatives from women’s and youth groups, business community and civil society.
To date, HD has carried out eight dialogue sessions on various issues, including two interim sessions to deal with emerging tensions in the countryside around Jos. The issues covered in these sessions have included: trust building and religious tolerance, rebuilding places of worship, burial grounds and issues relating to youths, governance issues and access to services, traditional rulership and the renaming of places, land annexation, displacement of people and insecurity in the countryside, issues of indigeneship, impunity, reparations and compensation, securing of lives and property and public apologies. Following each dialogue session, the Jos Forum developed and endorsed recommendations on the issues discussed. These have ultimately formed the basis of follow-up actions by the Government, the communities, and civil society and development actors. In addition, the women through their own steering committee presented a Declaration of Peace to the Jos Forum, demonstrating their efforts towards ensuring the success of the dialogue process. The declaration was received by the Jos Forum with overwhelming enthusiasm. Likewise the idea was welcomed to include the women’s suggestions and additions in the Jos Forum’s final recommendations.

For the first time in these children's lives, they are meeting children from the other tribe. The Pokot and Ilchamus tribes have been in conflict since 2005 due to cattle rustling. Livestock is the livelihood of pastoralist communities like the Pokot and Ilchamus, and the stealing of cows have created instability and conflict for these children.
