A South Korean Peace Organization, the Heavenly Culture World Peace Restoration of Light (HWPL), on Tuesday held a virtual conference aimed at addressing the conflict in Sudan.
The conference was attended by 19 people including members of the academia, doctors, journalists, and representatives of the NGOs aimed to explore peace solutions from various perspectives to resolve conflicts and build peace in Sudan.
Conflict broke out in Sudan on 15 April 2023 following military confrontations between the Sudan Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group, and has killed thousands of people and nearly displaced over 10 million people internally and as refugees in the neighboring countries.
In a statement seen by Radio Tamazuj, the HWPL said the conference sought to provide an important avenue to explore practical peacebuilding solutions for conflict resolution in Sudan and is expected to lay the groundwork for the Legislate Peace (LP) Project aimed at resolving conflicts both within and outside Sudan.
It said the Legislate Peace (LP) Project by HWPL is a global initiative to support and advocate for the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) and its implementation at the international level.
“The LP project started as the Sign Your Support Campaign which was launched to promote the value of the DPCW as a solution for achieving global peace and urge different sectors of society to support this declaration,” the statement read in part. “The campaign expanded into various forms of peace events and activities tailored to regions around the world, including seminars, forums, peace walks, and education.”
