Wars destroy.
Peace builds.
In today’s troubled world, building peace is a conscious, bold and even radical act.
It is humanity’s greatest responsibility. https://t.co/GZBOmsW1t1

The Palestinian people and the people of Israel have the right to live in peace: two fraternal peoples. Let us #PrayTogether for peace in the Holy Land, so that disputes may be resolved through dialogue and negotiations, and not with a mountain of dead on each side. @clicktoprayapp
My book on the history of my favourite international tournament, AFCON, is now available to pre-order for the start of 2024!
I really hope people will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed researching and writing it.

Any attempt to declare Rwanda “safe” in the teeth of the Supreme Court decision, will face close scrutiny by us in @UKHouseofLords
In the same way we would scrutinise attempts to declare “hot” to be “cold” or “up” to be “down”. https://t.co/S8MgjdYsNQ

you don't talk to your friends.

"A bomb that costs 100 thousand dollars, starts from a plane that costs 100 million and flies at a cost of 42 thousand dollars per hour, to kill people living on less than a dollar a day... " by Stefanos Kargakis.
Arms manufacturers make a financial killing. The poor die.
There are literally people who claim to be Christians who are defending Israel’s bombing of one of Christianity’s oldest churches, there in Gaza… which, even more sacred than the iconic building, was filled with precious women and children, many of whom are Palestinian Christians.
The devil is a liar.
Every Christian in America, and around the globe should be asking right now: “What would Jesus, the Prince of Peace, do?”
Let me suggest that he would not bless this violence.
Jesus blessed those who mourn. He blessed the widows and the orphans. He blessed the poor. And Jesus blessed the peacemakers, not the war makers.

[We join] "the many voices pleading for an immediate end to the fighting. The cycle of violence which has shattered so many lives and dreams, must stop now."
