United Peace Platform(UPP)

In the very vast cosmos,ours is a very small insignificant planet situated at the outer border of long Orion arm of Milkyway,for us,living beings of this planet,this is the"All"we have.
This planet of ours is the only habitation for nearly six billion Homosapiens and innumerable other living species.
Ours species Homosapien is the most developed species of all and therefore entire responsibilty of developing or destructing the planet remains on our shoulders.
A very interesting but disturbing factor as well is that out of this huge six billion population of mankind,only a very small percent of the entire population(possibly not more than 5%)is earnestly struggling and raising its concern over the World destructive policies,agendas,interests and greed of the mankind.The majority of world population seems quite indisposed towards global issues and problems,bounded and busy in business,work and daily life struggle,nothing to do with other issues.
For example,a sorry picture of our lack of leaning towards most of the global issues emerges when we find that common mass residing in Yining(China)knows very little about whats been happening in Amazon Rain Forest(Brazil),similarly majority of community of Parana(Argentina)donot know much about Timber-Mafia wiping off"Orangutan Chimpanzees"in tropical Indonesia,residents belonging to Saldus(Latvia)know nothing about the miseries of Thari people dying out of drought and TB in Pakistan,even people of Djibe(Burkina)knew very little about recent Asian calamity(Tsunami).We on the same planet are living in our own smaller worlds,very distant to each other.
A good sign of"Human Unity"appeared when USA invaded Iraq and some big rallies were out on the streets in different parts of the world.This sign though good was enfeeble too,main reason was lack of inter-connection between the demonstrations.The organizers and participants of the rally in Washinton DC or London were having no contact with rally organizers in New Delhi or Dhaka and vice-versa.
Every big journey begins with a small first step,every new idealogy only successfully can be drafted by determination,dedication and finally pursuit.It is the call of the time now to take the first step,to consider about creation of"UNITED PEACE PLATFORM(UPP)"to serve as the common-single platform to discuss and deal all the global issues of importance and emergency,for all those struggling individualy or collectively from different platforms for world welfare in different mode and manners,the other purpose of UPP must be to try to involve atleast some more part of that silent majority of world population purely in the subject of"Sharing the Pain of Planet".
With such a global impassive mood and behaviour of ours,there exists a need of gradual change in our common attitude towards world problems and issues.Importance of creating a new wave of Realisation and Responsibility no longer can be ignored and creation of UPP can be the first such step taken by the common mass to provide power to Peace and Unity.

The Great Loss

The great,wise,kind towering figure of Pope John Paul 11 is no more
physicaly with us,his pure soul will always be here for our guidance.
Pontiff was a dedicated struggler for Peace,Mutual tolerance and
World welfare.This loss is not only the loss of Catholic Christians
but is the loss of the entire mankind.

Support Aung's Release

The Global effort for release of Aung San Su Kyi seems to be losing its rythm and breath,for no reason.
Kyi's National League for Democracy(NLD)won the elections in 1990 in Myanmar but its armed ruling junta did'nt accept the decision of the Burmese people.
Pilgrims of Peace is supporting the Kyi's issue by addressing the issue at different forums and also will raise its voice for Kyi's release during the Global Peace Pilgrimage on bicycles,we also hope that world wide support and struggle for Kyi's release will soon be back at its peak momentum.

Aung's detention extended(01-Dec:2005)
-------------------------------------------
Nobel peace laureate and head of National League for Democracy(NLD) Aung San Suu Ki, who has been detained since May 2003 by Myanmar's Army rulers is facing extension of another six months in her detention.Aung's continued detention is not in the interest of progress and welfare of poor Burmese people.
Pilgrims of Peace is deeply concerned about this issue and urges the peace lovers and workers,world leaders around the world to take serious notice of this extended detention of the "lady of hope" and increase pressure on Myanmar's Generals to return towards" Democratic process" in the country and as a first step release all the political prisoners

Africa;Good Signs

A 100 member delegation of former rebels of Sudan Peoples Liberation Movement(SPLM)arrived in Khartoum on 03,April-2005,to talk and implement the peace deal(signed in January this year)with the Sudanese government.
At the same time Egypt annouced to soon held a summit of African leaders to provide African Union another chance to deal with the Dafur crisis.
These are positive signs emerging in the conflicted continent,and it is expected that these steps will be helpful in the healing the deep-open wounds of Africa.
