UNIVERSITY OF KHARTOUM, SUDAN
A CALL FOR PEACE AND RENEWAL 2010
PEACE IN THE WORLD FROM INSIDE OUT FROM YOU, ME AND ALL OF US
TOGETHER WE CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS
AND CHANGE THE WORLD ONE COUNTRY AT A TIME
“Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek but a means by which we arrive at that goal” Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Where there is no vision, the people perish” the Bible.
“We have sent you but to be a mercy to the world” the Quran.
"Too many lives and too much treasure have been lost on wars that should not have happened in the first place. It is time to renew, organize and invest in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness through justice and peace".
Dr. Hashim El-Tinay, Founder IPQI
Building on the Foggy Bottom, West end-George Washington University and FRIENDS experience in grass roots organizing so far, IPQI intends to focus in 2010 -2011 on facilitating
the emergence of a peace network that will inspire concrete direct actions that will promote the spirit of understanding, tolerance, solidarity and peaceful coexistence. We will stimulate cooperation among peoples and help lessen the obstacles and threats to peace and human security for all.
“Be the peace you want to see in the world” by adopting peaceful means in everything you do. Recognizing that sustainable peace is the primary and irrevocable obligation and right of each and every individual on the planet we all share, and finally break the vicious circle of struggling for peace through non-peaceful means.
We have no time for apathy, no patience for complainers, and zero tolerance for violence-mongers. Now is the time to make a difference! Now is the time to join in and to work for peace!
Political leaders often do not listen to the voices of the people working for a sustainable peace because our voices are too few and too quiet.Now is the time for all those who share the sense of urgency, for all of the responsible people who know that we must now take responsibility to stand up and to be counted.
Sign up with IPQI today, be a part of our 2010 Foggy Bottom peace for renewal call network and contribute ideas, money, and skills and be part of the solution.
Together We Can.
Indeed We Must.
