A New Dawn for Jammu and Kashmir: Why the UN Must Lead a Multilateral Path to Lasting Peace

Please read the powerful words of Rachel Goldberg, mother of one of the Israeli hostages -
“When you only get outraged when one side’s babies are killed then your moral compass is broken and your humanity is broken. And therefore in your quiet moments alone, all of us on planet earth need to really ask ourselves “Do I aspire to be human? Or am I swept up in the enticing and delicious world of hatred? This is not a phenomenon unique to Israel or Gaza. This is everywhere on the planet. I understand that hatred of the other, whoever we decide that other is, is seductive, sensuous and most importantly it is easy. Hatred is easy. But hatred is not helpful. Nor is it constructive....
War and conflict always ends up hurting the innocent. Which is why war is so brutal and devastating. In a competition of pain- there is never a winner.
One thing gave me a whisper of hope on October 7th because one of the witnesses with whom I spoke told me that when the rocket fire began and when all those hippies went running into the bomb shelter there was a Bedouin man who was a guard at the kibbutz across the street and he ran into that same shelter and as Hamas closed in on the bomb shelter, the man said, stay quiet let me go talk to them and went outside and said in Arabic I am a Muslim Everyone inside is my family . They are Muslim. You don’t have to search in there. He tried to save them. He could have said I am a Muslim and just saved himself but he tried to do the right thing even though it was terrifying and even though it required unimaginable courage – he was brutally beaten and the witnesses do not know what his fate was but I take comfort for a fleeting moment that there was someone trying to do the right thing when everything in the universe had been turned upside down. We human beings have been blessed with the gifts of intellect creativity insight and perception. Why are we not using to solve global conflicts all over the world? Because doing this is hard and takes fortitude and imagination, grit, risk and hope. So instead we opt for hatred because hatred is so comfortable and so very, very easy.
@HazaraZubair@BBCUrdu Thank you for all your efforts to bring the real story and highlighting the plight of people affected by conflict along the ceasefire line in Kashmir.
#AwamiAction people are up against brutal crackdown by #AJKPolice &security forces on peaceful protest and sit in. People are boycotting extortionate electricity bills in AJK by Pakistani electricity distribution companies. Respect Freedom of speech and peaceful assembly in AJK
آزادکشمیر کے وزیر اعظم کی طرف سے مہنگی بجلی اور دیگر مطالبات کیلئے جاری پر امن دھرنوں پر پولیس ایکشن تاجر، سول سوسائٹی رہنماؤں اور منتخب بلد��اتی نمائندوں کی گرفتاریاں دانستہ حالات خراب کرکے انارکی پھیلانے کی کوشش ہے اور ریاست دشمن ایجنڈا ہے جو کہ قابل مزمت ہے۔
Civil society must quit their prejudice, unequivocally oppose the state’s excesses and demand immediate elections and, robustly defend the human rights of all party activists, without exception https://t.co/bKJhd8Mors
Rawalakot speaks up! Residents are voicing their concerns against soaring electricity bills. No chaos, no disruptions, no burning tires. Unity prevails as the people of Rawalakot peacefully stand for their rights. #Rawalakot#ElectricityBills#UnityForRights
BBC laatest report. “The BBC has spent more than a year investigating accusations against the Indian government that it is running a sinister and systematic campaign to intimidate and silence the press in the region. We had to meet journalists in secret, and they asked for their names to be hidden, fearing reprisals.
Over many trips we spoke to more than two dozen journalists - editors, reporters and photojournalists working independently as well as for regional and national outlets - all of whom see the government's actions as a warning to them.“Any story could be your last' - India's crackdown on Kashmir press”

پلندری کے غیور لوگوں نے کبھی ظلم کے سامنے سر نہیں جھکایا پلندری والوں نے بجلی کے بلوں کو راکھ کا ڈھیر بنا دیا ہے اور غریبوں کا خون چوستے والوں کو پیغام دیا ہے کہ ظلم بند کر دو ورنہ عوامی احتجاج مزاحمت میں بدل گیا تو اسے روکنا کسی کے بس میں نہ رہے گا
@HamidMirPAK Pakistan have to accept the sovereignty of the people of Jammu and Kashmir over their natural wealth and resources. AJK Water resources are lifeline for #Pakistan its high time to pay the dividend to AJK. @ChAnwarAJK sb plz read and act. https://t.co/1oNXfe1J65
My latest feature: AJK lags in accessible & quality education. According to the BISP survey of 2021, 216,000 children between ages of six & 16 years are not enrolled in any school. The region is dealing with a major education crisis.

What matter in such situation is who was the first to stepped over the living guy, rest of the queue follows like sheeps in line. The world continues to take up the issue #K2Tragedy
اپنی ریاست میں اساتذہ کے مسائل حل کرنے کی بجائے خواتین اساتذہ پہ تشدد کرنے اور اور ان کو مجرموں کی طرح گرفتار کرنے والے کس منہ سے مقبوضہ کشمیر میں انسانی حقوق کی خلاف ورزیوں کی بات کرتے ہیں؟
شرم تم کو مگر نہیں آتی۔۔
