From a peace research perspective, seen as we gather for the 50th: a long history of naming some as the "enemy" with no rights: disposable, expendable, worth-less, and deserving of death; and that violence and militarism are fine ways of resolving conflicts #PeaceNotWar #ReunificationDayVietnam

We mourn the loss an inclusive leader. "Francis reached out to migrants, the poor, and he sought to improve relations with Chinese government, Muslim clerics, and war-torn parts of Africa, where he excoriated modern-day colonizers and sought peace in South Sudan." #inclusion #peace #decolonization

Francis, the First Latin American Pope, Dies at 88

Perhaps the last remaining lion of the Pan African struggle, "Sam Nujoma guided Namibia to independence from apartheid South Africa and served as its first president for 15 years, has died at 95." We pledge to continue working against colonialism, neoliberalism, and injustice!
