Young Muslim professionals join calls for peace in Gaza

MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur, Aug 4 (PIA) -- The Young Moro Professionals Network (YMPN) has joined the calls for a peaceful resolution of the Israel-Gaza conflict.

In a statement emailed to the Philippine Information Agency, the YMPN urged both Israelis and Paletinians to resume peace talks on an acceptable, fair and democratic resolution creating a genuine and far-reaching solution towards an end to the sectarian violence and sporadic armed confrontation.

It said that the recognition of the Palestinians’ quest for the right of self-determination leading to a “two-states” resolution or a Federal system is seen as a viable resolve.

“We support them as we the Bangsamoro people in southern Philippines share the same aspiration for right to self-governance, justice, and peace through a genuine autonomous government,” the YMPN said.

The group also commended the efforts of various organizations, government institutions and individuals who have given humanitarian aid and have called for a peaceful resolution in Gaza.

YMPN also called on fellow youth, civil-society and faith-based organizations to engage in dialogue and to lobby the international community to take serious and bold steps to resolve the centuries-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

"It is a blunder to world peace if other nations play blind and deaf on the sufferings and anguish for peace and justice in Israel-Gaza conflict," the group further said. (APB/PIA-10)
