As the world grapples with conflict, it’s time to work towards lasting peace
In the desolate landscapes of war-torn cities and villages that used to flourish with love and laughter, there exists a group of individuals who perish in silence, their stories fading into opacity amid the mayhem and turmoil of conflict. These forgotten souls are the civilians, the innocent witnesses trapped in the crossfire of a bitter and devastating struggle for land, rights, and freedom.
Children whose laughter has been replaced by sobs of sorrow, the women whose voices have been silenced by the thunderous roar of explosions and gunfire, and the elderly whose aching bodies display the scars of a lifetime of difficulties and suffering. Their deaths pass overlooked, their names buried in the endless list of fatalities, and their lives degraded to mere figures in an endless cycle of violence and catastrophe.
