#CWTEE - 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐖𝐚𝐫 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲? 🛡️ Here is what Dr. Jan Hoffenaar says: “The Cold War holds up a mirror to us of where and why international relations could have been so tense for so long; how enemy images could lead to distortion of each other's intentions; where opportunities for improvement in relations were missed etc. With the underlying hope that we can learn something from this for our judgements and actions now.” If you want to read Dr. Hoffenaar’s full answer, visit our website https://lnkd.in/dP5nFsqA

At CMHA, we’re committed to Indigenous Truth and Reconciliation. Over the last year we’ve engaged in challenging conversations across our Federation to understand and acknowledge CMHA’s history and our role in colonization. We’re learning together while listening to Indigenous voices—experiences, perspectives, and knowledge—as we continue our journey toward reconciliation. The outcome of this effort will be the creation of an action plan to guide the important work of true reconciliation, and we look forward to sharing more about this as we progress. https://buff.ly/3PTXJ9U

"A true Culture of Peace should stand in stark contrast to a Culture of War. On this occasion of the 25th anniversary, we must ask ourselves whether we have created a world in which peace is more profitable than war. Have we created that alternative to a Culture of War and Violence? The UN Secretary-General’s ‘A New Agenda for Peace’ policy brief identifies trust, solidarity and universality as the fundamental principles upon which friendly relations and cooperation among nations and societies should take place. However, as the Policy Brief also identifies, these principles are followed extensively in the breach, and therefore we have the current situation of mistrust, lack of a sense of fellowship, and selective application of universal principles." https://t.co/KFQh7yM0lW

Nearly 6 years ago, on 30th of March 2018 - the UN Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) formally withdrew its #peacekeeping mission after supporting the restoration of peace and security in Liberia following a 4 year brutal civil war. Last year, Liberia shone as the remarkable country it is when President George Weah followed in his predecessor's footsteps and peacefully handed power to current President Joseph Boakai. Indeed, Liberia is a story of pain, beauty, and the reminder that a nation can rise above its past. This is why we are so excited to have Mr. Aaron Weah's interview today as he speaks on Liberia's long history, how far the nation has come and what it has always stood for at it's core. Mr. Weah speaks of his beginnings in Transitional Justice, a novel idea then, which have led him and his beloved country to this post-conflict point where healing and rebuilding are a pursuit so many brave Liberians are seeking. Much like many African nations, the Liberian national purpose, although rooted in #freedom and #redemption, has been buried under the conflict the country has undergone. #Memorialisation remains the line of defense for the country's initial and true intended purpose. In the aftermath of the conflict, we stand now as different nations but history reminds us that this freedom was fought for in the bonds of unity.
