The Great Lakes region of Africa has gone through long years of incessant wars. This situation has created divisive conflicts between its sons and daughters. Now, enormous efforts are being made here and there for a probable reconciliation. The goal of reconciliation is a future aspiration, an important element to aim for, perhaps even an ideal city to hope for in the Great Lakes region of Africa torn apart by conflicts of all kinds. This new city – a reconciled city, a peaceful and pacifying city – is only possible if the people of the Great Lakes agree to move from a divided past to a shared future. This article endeavored to prove the fact that reconciliation involves a whole process of which forgiveness is one of the fundamental elements such as truth and justice. Finally, the kind of reconciliation that wants to achieve its goal needs to begin with reconciliation with God and has to find its foundations in the Bible.
