Since I was interested in peace recently, I have searched how many people are working for peace. During I was searching this, I found that a Korean made peace agreement in Mindanao, Philippines. In brief introduction, Mindanao where the land is smaller than that of South Korea and the population is 20 million is the place where Muslims of Philippines are living. During the period of colony of United States, as christians of Philippines were moved and settled massively, the native people were cornered at the hinterland. This caused the war between the christians and muslims each other and there has been 170 thousand of casualties for 40 years. So Mindanao has been called the island of nightmare because of the war rather than called beautiful island. In this place, peace messengers preceeded the walking festival with 1000 people of youths and religious leaders beyond the their religion. And this day, they made the agreement of world peace each other, Finally they ceased the war for 40 years. When I saw this article, I thought the korean made the work of the paragon of world people. I hope there is no more war by coming peace quickly through amazing works like this and I want to participate in the work for peace though whatever.
