People need to feel involved. The population needs to feel involved in reconciliation processes. Society had completely broken down if these communities couldn't learn how to live in harmony again, how to speak to one another and forgive one another, we would never have true reconciliation, because if only the elite and armed groups and political ruling class are going to resolve the problems of the people, then the outcome will be completely lost. Absolutely. There is an undeniable link between reconciliation and transitional justice in order for the population to feel reassured in order for the population to begin to forget the violence that they experienced and the struggles that they lived through during conflict, there needs to be justice. Those who committed these crimes need to be held accountable. Those who committed crimes, if they are living in impunity, the population is unable to mourn and accept reconciliation. It is very important to promote justice and reparations after conflicts.
