UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres addressed the world on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan. In a statement released by the UN press service, the head of the organization emphasized that Ramadan is a particularly important time for the pursuit of peace and strengthening compassion between people.
Guterres noted that people in many regions are still experiencing difficult trials. He recalled that conflicts, hunger, forced displacement, discrimination, and other problems are making people's lives difficult in areas from Afghanistan to Yemen, from Gaza to Sudan and elsewhere.
The UN chief called on the international community to focus on the main idea of Ramadan: to overcome conflicts, to provide practical assistance to those who suffer, and to protect the rights and dignity of every person. His content is that this month is not just a date on the calendar, but an opportunity to understand and show love for each other.
Guterres also said that every year on the occasion of Ramadan, there is a tradition of visiting a Muslim family and breaking the fast with them. He noted that each time he returns from these meetings, he is inspired by the spirit of peace and compassion of Ramadan.
“Every year, I return inspired by the idea of peace and compassion of Ramadan,” he said.
The conclusion is simple: this month is a time to bring people together, no matter where they live, to remember those in need and to take a step towards peace.
