Salam Aleikum, Shalom, my name is Ahmed Meligy, I'm from Egypt, so in the past couple of years
I've been in the middle of the Arab Spring. Putting everything aside, the only thing that
I've realized and I strongly believe as an outcome of the Arab Spring, is it brought
the power back to the people. It brought power back to the people to enforce their demands
for social justice, for democracy. In the past couple of years, YaLa-Young Leaders movement,
and many other peace organizations, gathered hundreds and hundreds of thousands of young
minds who share the same vision and dreams, of peace and coexistence. So my message to
you is, I'm urging you, and even begging you, to convince, to enforce, to demand your presidents,
your prime ministers, your government officials, to sit down on these two empty chairs and
work for peace. Because at the end of the day, eventually, peace will prevail. And trust
me on this. Peace from Egypt. I love YaLa.
