Global Call for Civility in Politics Amid Rising Tensions

Political tensions are not only affecting local governance, as seen in Devon's Torbay Council, but are also influencing international relations and peace missions. In Devon, the behavior of council members is reportedly harming staff morale, the council's reputation, and trust with partners. Meanwhile, on a global scale, the African Union is preparing for leadership changes and a potential shift in its relationship with the European Union, its major supporter for peace missions. Amid these challenges, there's a growing movement towards promoting civility in politics, with candidates, political experts, and ethical leaders advocating for a more respectful and less divisive political discourse.
