The Thread: On the true essence of International Peace Day

Today marks the celebration of International Peace Day – a day set aside by the United Nations General Assembly to strengthen “the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples”.

This year’s theme; ‘Sustainable Development Goals: Building Blocks for Peace’, might seem like a tall order particularly in these days of random bombings as well as long drawn out wars in places like Yemen, Syria, Libya, and even in our own backyard by Boko Haram, but Mr. Fowowe, who tweets @praisefowewe, attempts to simplify it for us – first the individual, the family, and then the world.

When we look at peace through his eyes, it does not seem like such a tall order anymore.

Happy International Peace Day.
