Abstract
Kreider Fellow Samuel Dali and Snowden Fellow Rebecca Dali share stories of pain and hope from the Boko Haram crisis and the church’s response. Samuel Dali provides an update on the situation of the Ekklesiyar Yan’uwa a Nigeria/Church of the Brethren in Nigeria in the context of ongoing violence in northeastern Nigeria and reflects on the church’s constructive engagement around sociopolitical, economic, and environmental issues that contribute to the possibility of peace in the region. Rebecca Dali reviews the recent humanitarian work of the Centre for Caring, Empowerment, and Peace Initiatives and discusses the suffering and resilience of women in situations of war and related trauma as refugees and internally displaced persons. Samuel Dali led Ekklesiyar Yan’uwa a Nigeria during the years of greatest insurgency violence in northeastern Nigeria. He works at peacebuilding and advocacy with ecumenical, interfaith, and political entities in northeastern Nigeria. Rebecca Dali is the founder and executive director of the Centre for Caring, Empowerment, and Peace Initiatives.
