[Blog] Peace and Peaceful Living on Planet Earth

The planet is making positive strides forward, with all nations and individuals taking serious action to combat climate change and global warming, supported by numerous local initiatives promoting ecological lifestyles. This includes our small island of Mauritius, where hundreds of positive actions are being undertaken in favor of sustainable living, alongside our new MAURITIUS 2050 VISION project.

Additionally, we are preparing for the return of Chagos to Mauritius, completing the process of decolonization and seeking justice for our Chagossian brothers and sisters.

Sadly, unprecedented dark forces, aided by modern technology, have pushed us from conflicts to wars, reverting to the dark ages of senselessly killing fellow humans for mere sectoral interests.

Nevertheless, we, the nations of this planet, have adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states in its first article: "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood."

In light of the wars in Ukraine, Sudan, Gaza, and the internal denial of human rights in Afghanistan and elsewhere, we must collectively agree to resolve conflicts through dialogue and negotiations, not through missiles and guns. We need facilitators and negotiators to bring together the warring parties to explore and find solutions (such as the two-state solution for Israel and Palestine), to cease the violence and begin rebuilding.

Let us take a moment to share the hope of Christmas with the message "Love one another." Let us unite in whatever small way we can to bring peace and peaceful living to all families, communities, and nations on our unique planet, for 2026 and beyond. Wishing you health and happiness!

We also fondly remember our dear departed friends and colleagues.
