Eye on the World: Friday, April 6, 2012
As the situation in Syria deteriorated this week, more and more refugees fled to neighboring countries – especially Turkey. Turkey took in 2,300 individuals on Wednesday, and more than 42,000 Syrians have left the country since the uprising began a year ago. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad agreed late March to an April 10th ceasefire, but journalists say violence in the country has increased as the deadline approaches.
“To preserve life” discusses how we can reach out to Syria in prayer, recognizing that God’s power arrests violence and that “each individual is the spiritual idea of Life, empowered with intelligence, honesty, strength, and goodness.”
Peruvian President Ollanta Humala announced on Friday the capture of Freddy Arenas, the leader of the Shining Path, a terrorist group that controlled large areas of the country in the 1980s and 90s. Small Shining Path gangs still control parts of the drug trade in southeastern Peru, but with Arenas’s capture, the government says the group has been virtually defeated. “Safe from terrorism” offers comfort to all who are committed to praying for a lasting sense of peace.
