John Hume, Irish man, Nobel Laureate and Man of Peace died on Monday 3rd of August. RIP.
He faught tirelessly for a peaceful solution to ´the Troubles´ in Northern Ireland..
The New York Times wrote of him today:
Throughout a career in Northern Ireland
politics, in which finger-pointing and recrimination amplified a
drumbeat of bombings and killings, Mr. Hume stood as a voice of reason,
counseling against the cycles of bloodshed between the Protestant
majority and the Roman Catholic minority.
“An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind,” John Hume said, attributing the comment to Dr. King.
Please take a moment to inform yourself about this great man:
