President Irfaan Ali has called for global peace in honour of the fallen heroes of World War 1 and 11. During the Remembrance Day ceremony at the Cenotaph Monument yesterday morning, he reaffirmed the demand for a ceasefire, making reference to the Israel-Hamas war.

“The least the world can do in honour of those who sacrificed ultimately in the two world wars is to return every corner of this world to a position of peace… to return hostages held against their will, and to cease fire on every land in which men, women, and children especially are killed and awakened by the sound of bombs,” he said.
