When a former Secretary of State, a former Secretary of Defense, several United States Ambassadors, a famous physicist, and a few friends pray each month for the elimination of nuclear weapons, it raises lots of questions. What do they know that everyone needs to know? Why are they praying? What is their prayer? 

The URI community shares messages of goodwill and celebration for Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan. We wish you all an Eid Mubarak (Happy Eid), and hope everyone, not just our Muslim friends, will join in to celebrate peace and understanding. 

Today is the last day of Ramadan. Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating! 

URI Europe attended several meetings with CCs and interfaith organizations in Berlin, Germany. 

URI Africa participated in a pan-African conference on peace and conflict prevention in Burundi. 

Our community deals with a diverse array of questions and issues every day, but working to realize community leaders' visions is a wonderful step to achieving sustainable peace.
