He claims that Africans from a variety of backgrounds who have worked to promote peace on the continent by using their skills, positions, and resources are the peace icons.

Other Africans who have contributed to peace-building on the continent will be identified and honored in later editions of the peace-building roll call, he said, adding that the list was not all-inclusive.
