No Justice No Peace
Many of the destabilized societies of the world were once colonized by Great Britain: Afghanistan, Australia, Iraq, Nigeria, Northern Ireland, Palestine, Sudan, to name a few. And colonization, as we have seen, leaves lasting traumas and disorders.
Stability, however, can be achieved in former colonies, but only when justice is done.
As Ken Foley of Sinn Fein observes, unity and solidarity are key to undermining injustice, whether in the North of Ireland or in occupied Palestine. As Foley notes, no justice--no peace.
