Human Security Report 2005

World experienced 25 armed conflicts in different parts of the world in 2004,the lowest number since 1976, there has been a decrease at large scale nearly 40 percent in the number of war and conflicts since the early 1990s,says the recently documented “Human Security Report 2005”, a new multi-government report.
The report inform us more that there is also a 80 percent decrease in the number of mass killings, UN diplomatic missions to handle armed crisis were as high as six times between 1990 and 2002, and there had been a significant increase in the number of civil conflicts resolved.

So, planet Earth today is more secure and peaceful place to live, if such is the situation in reality as described in the report, then for “us”, the peace lovers and workers around the world it is the time to “celebrate”. But for a moment when bitter facts like the daily death toll in Iraq, Iran receiving threats daily and delivering the same, Israel-Palestine crisis still claiming lives, Afghanistan still smoking, Sudan and Congo problems not all solved yet, no solution towards North Korean issue, Sri Lanka facing fresh waves of violence, riots in France, suicide attacks more common and wide spread (from Bali to Amman), increase of billions in global defense budget annually, strike the conscience hard, the heart then not gets convince to “celebrate”. Does your heart permit you to celebrate?

PLATFORM's Report

PLATFORM, a London based charity focused on oil’s social and environmental impact recently issued a report revealing that “Under the influence of the US and UK, power politicians and technocrats in the Iraqi oil ministry are pushing to hand all Iraq’s undeveloped oil companies to be developed under “production sharing agreements”.
Greg Muttit, an analyst at PLATFORM and author of the report says “The key US-UK energy security priority is secure control over an increasing supply of Gulf oil”.
According to the report, Iraq may suffer a loss of billions by losing control over its oil fields, the loss from production sharing agreement can amount to 2,800$ to 4,700$ per Iraqi adult over the 30 year life span.

So simply, it was “oil” and not Saddam.

Sorrows of Soul

Its dark again,
In the silence of sunset
I stand alone
Amongst the mob of fallen thoughts.
Each thought,a flare unburnt
In my misty memories.
Each memory,a journey unmade.

As I move along the dusky time,
The dreams,unseen,
Shine bright for once,and
Then its dark again.
Covering the distance of a Universe
I still stand where I was
Leaving behind nothing but sorrows of soul.

Support Sri Lanka

Liberation Tigers of Tamil Ealam(LTTE) completely boycotted the presidential polls on Thursday,17 Nov:2005. Residents of Jaffna district,mostly controlled by the Tamil Tigers,stayed home and streets were deserted,only 1,700 votes casted with in the population of 700,000.
Tamil Tigers quest for a separate home land for their minority Tamils,Buddhist Sinhalese majority rules out any such option.Nearly 65,000 people killed in a two decade long war between LTTE and Sri Lankan troops,halted in 2002 after a peace deal.
The deal is in danger now,with start of sporadic violence in the region taking many lives. Fresh start of a full flow war can completely ruin the lives of poor Sri Lankans,and socio-economic structure of the small Island already severly destroyed by Tsunami,cannot afford any more damage,the need is now that the world must take serious note of this festering problem and become active to achieve a lasting peace solution for the region.
Pilgrims of Peace Org: appeals to the world leaders ,UN officials and peace organizations to seriously consider about the present fresh wave of violence in Sri Lanka before it burns the entire Island once again.

Sri Lanka (update)01 Dec:2005
---------------------------------
Newly elected Sri Lankan President,Mr.Mahinda Rajapakse issued a fresh invitation to Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam(LTTE) to talk and revive the peace deal. LTTE on the other hand asked for a more practical deal from the Pressident and end of all acts of discrimination against minority Tamils,and if not they will resume "freedom struggle" for a separate Tamil home land next year.
At this moment, it is very necessary for us,the peace lovers and workers around the world to urge and support both parties to consummate the issue through peace talks and promote the peace process and progress in the tiny Island.

"We"

Like Mr.George Bush,Iranian President Mr.Mahmoud Ahmadinejad too strongly believes he is on the right path,and acts like "wiping off Israel from the map of the world" will be a right act and according to God's will.The views,thoughts and acts of Mr.Ariel Sharon,Israeli leader are not different.Israeli leadership always believed,respected and worked for God's will of "Greater Israel",doesn't matter if such "holy will" is fulfilled at the cost of rest of the world.
Unfortunately; drowned in the deep swamps of Nationalism and Patriotism,most of theWorld leaders are obliged to follow such "sacred paths",that lead them and their Nations to the heights of (haunted)heavens and provides them the (putrid)providence.
Since eons humanity is deceitfully divided not only by so called leaders of past and present,but religious priests,cooperate powers(mafia)were(are)also the main players in the arena.They successfully suppressed the warm spirits of sacrifice,serenity and sympathy and provoked the powers of hate,anger and terror among us.It is a very bitter fact that never in the known history of mankind,humanity had united at a global scale,though there are many examples of unity between the groups or nations to fight and destroy other groups or nations in the name of God,Nation and Color.
Today,alongwith such "powerful pretenders" there exists another truth "we",the "silent truth"."We" believe in Peace,Equality of humanity,and welfare of world."We" respect life,"we" can feel the pain and share it,"we" are in millions,present in every part of the planet,even in USA,Israel and Iran."We",one day will change the destiny of world like Rosa Parks,on 1st December1955 changed the destiny of Blacks in North America.
Remember Mr.Bush,Mr.Mahmoud,Mr.Sharon dignity is not in destruction,salvation is not in following sacerdotal Dogmas,but is in " sharing the pain",this is the only truth,the "ultimate truth".
