PITY THE NATION
The perfectly descriptive poem, below, sent by my great friend Norma Procter, herself a poet, writer, painter, Human Rights campaigner and editor of one of my books, is a poem I’d call PITY THE NATIONS, in plural. This is because people in all countries in the world are led, like sheep, to believe that humanity needs a war industry and Armed Forces to fight – most of the time against their will – with the produce of this Business of Death and Destruction.
INTERNATIONAL SUMMIT
FOR WORLD PEACE
25th and 26 November 2023, Argentina
In view of an escalation in the number of wars, small and large, short and long, and general social violence in the world, HUFUD feels the urgent need to summon up all Peace, Human Rights, anti-war, anti-military and planet protecting organizations, worldwide, to the two-day INTERNATIONAL SUMMIT FOR WORLD PEACE at the School of the New Century in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on 25th and 26th November 2023
All participating organizations or Movements will be expected to actively present their Peace proposals. The event will culminate with a debate between the representatives of each organization present as well as with members of the audience. We aim to create an International Peace THINK TANK
The Summit will be live-streamed worldwide
If your organization or Movement, or you as an individual wish to be part of this unique event, please contact us as soon as possible by e-mail to info.hufud@gmail.com

HUFUD News!
Marvellous HUFUD News!
HUFUD is very happy to announce the birth of a new African Chapter: HUFUD ETHIOPIA. the new Director is the expert Peace activist Mahlet Sebsibe. The HUFUD Family and I personally welcome Mahlet and wish her Great Success.
It is perhaps not a coincidence that Africa is the first continent to have TWO HUFUD Chapters (the first one in Uganda, in the capable hands of Bruno Ndagga), for it has always been Africa the continent I feel will save the planet, by becoming the FIRST continent to Abolish Militarism.
Small arms aremanufactured in Algeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, and Sudan, but there are three countries – Egypt, South Africa and Sudan – with major companies and exporting capability.
However, from the messages I receive from African citizens in all African States and in all walks of life, they all had enough, more than enough of wars, violence, poverty, hunger, homelessness, levels of illiteracy, of polluted waters, of Aids and malaria. they all want an industry that will enhance – not damage or destroy human life.
Come on, Africa, lead to world! save the planet for future generations!

News from HUFUD Africa
Over the past month, Director of HUFUD Africa Bruno Ndagga has traversed Uganda and Democratic Republic of Congo to meet several groups in the efforts to spread HUFUD’s message and to garner support from like-minded individuals who believe in the demilitarisation of Africa as the route to peace and a conflict free continent (Africa).
Bruno reached out to many audiences including refugee camps, schools, villages, youth groups, and elites from human rights commissions. These campaigns have yielded positive support from the public and the number of HUFUD followers is expanding at an unbelievable rate across Sub-Saharan Africa. On 26 August 2022, Bruno held a rally for HUFUD in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. We look forward to his joining us at the Harrogate Peace Conference on 24 September.
