Nonviolence, la No Violencia, اللاعنف - Cheikh Aly n'daw, الشيخ علي نداو - Part 1/9

Good evening everyone, salam, om shanti, shalom. Thank you for being here at this meeting for my part, I would like as form of exchange because Non-violence is a topic large enough. And especially when we talk about it, we need to be aware that we are talking to people whom each of them constitute someone in being a non-violent. The theme of the meeting "Non-violence for everyone Peace for All " was born of a conviction that all mankind is a land of experience of that Non-violence. It is a word which, at first, refers to its opposite which is violence, but we always used to say that non-violence also is another way of making war. And it is more difficult because it should not have victims. When we talk of Peace it is not simply to silence the guns, but we have seen, wherever Peace was acquired by arms, it is necessary in having an army to maintain peace. In fact, true Peace, that does not need an army, is that produced by non-violence. The studies we have made on non-violence, on the basis of experience people from different continents, different religions, different cultures, different wisdoms, find something that is common to all these differences and we have called this "The initiatory path of peace". In fact, we find through Peace makers all that was the subject of crimes against humanity, that is, religion, culture, race, all these elements which are different were for them fertilizing elements showing that the difference is a necessity of life.
