"I want to take this opportunity to inform you that I have just participated in a conference on small arms and light weapons control, organized by the Bureau of Community and Small Arms Control here in Juba. The conference brought delegations from Uganda and Burundi together to share experiences on issues of armament and disarmament in the Great Lakes region. They mentioned some factors (drivers) that promote armament in the region. I was happy that I was given a chance to point out the dangers of having illegal arms in the hands of civilians, which in fact are some of the risks, early warnings and indicators that will incite violence and therefore genocide in future. I made a strong recommendation for the Government through the Bureau of Community and Small Arms Control to take measures on how to check and address the issue of arms proliferation across the borders to avoid genocide from occurring. I am really grateful to you for having made it possible for me to participate in the Lemkin Seminar, where I learned a lot in regards to genocide prevention. I will always champion and find a way of disseminating information on genocide when given the chance or not. I felt it was important to share with you this information because you trained me on this and made me unique among people. God bless the Auschwitz Institute for Peace and Reconciliation and the entire staff for the tremendous work they are doing for world peace." Once again, the entire staff of the Auschwitz Institute thanks you for your donation!
