Third, in the Journal of Peace Research they study the relationship between those in the Kasai that had to flee & those that took in displaced persons. Attitudes toward the latter are shaped by security considerations & humanitarian concerns but remain empathetic & positive doi.org/10.1093/jopr...

Who in charge of the means of war are thinking of the families who this evening will be fearful, who have to cope with distressed children, and are having to make live or die decisions? Pity has gone from the world.

Arrogance is believing we can endlessly take without giving back. Arrogance is thinking technological cleverness will always save us from ecological collapse. Arrogance is assuming nature is a foe to be battled,rather than the very system that gives us life.

@manchesterup.bsky.social Peace agreements can end violence but still leave deep harm unacknowledged. Unaddressed moral and psychological injury shapes societies long after ceasefires. Peace without care is a fragile peace. #Peacebuilding #PostConflict #MentalHealth #NorthernIreland
