“Indeed, in a region striving for a vision, hope has become a rare commodity. And while we are left wondering how to rekindle security, justice and dignity in the midst of ongoing tragedies, one can only find solace in the vibrant communities and voices that refuse to be distraught by such events and continue to engage in the daunting task that is ahead of us today: rebuilding societies and nations.”
