Article: How many countries are free from conflict?

An article in the Independent called "World Peace? These are the only 11 countries in the world that are actually free from conflict" was published last Thursday. If the numbers continues to show no change, world peace may become a hopeless dream.

Countless numbers of conflicts are happening in over 70% of the world. This requires a turnover. We need to start changing the numbers so that less numbers of conflict will occur in the world. If no countries are free from conflict, then the world will never see the light. The article pointed out that the world became less peaceful every year since 2007. This year we celebrate the 60th year anniversary of the end of WWII. I am not sure how much the world has changed ever since? Did we learn from our mistakes in WWII? Ironically the world shifted into a different type of war called the Cold War. right after WWII. Compared to 60 years ago, how much did we change in terms on conflict? Although the world is not involved in a global conflict or war, we still see multiple conflicts in the world.

I hope that through the HWPL activities and peace movement, the world will see more light as conflicts are resolved. I hope that more people in the world would see the works of Chairman Man Hee Lee and other peace advocates on how much they sacrifice to create a better world.
