Peace by Peaceful Means
Conflict has been Myanmar’s shadow, but even the longest night surrenders to the dawn when courage and hope walk hand in hand
The peace in Myanmar seeks to build a bridge by many hands, requiring not just agreements but the courage to face uncomfortable truths
The scars of Myanmar’s conflicts are etched deeply, but in each wound lies the potential for healing through dialogue and compassion.
Myanmar’s path to peace is a mosaic of shared histories, and its strength lies in weaving the threads of diversity into a common destiny.
If exile is the absence of peace, then homecoming is the presence of justice.
(Adapted from Gibran’s thoughts on exile)
Our roots are not broken; they are buried under the rubble of conflict. Peace will unearth them and bring us back to life where we belong.
