On Wednesday 10 June Khaled Fouad Allam tragically left us in a hotel in Rome, after have been affected by a sudden illness.
He was an Algerian sociologist who worked in the University of the Studies of Trieste, and was also deputy for the Ulivo political party in 2006, during the XIV legislature.
I still remember the first time that I saw him. It was 1994 and along with Predrag Matvejevic', Claudio Magris, Vittorio Nisticò, Igor Man, Nedim Gursel, Gerardo Marotta and other friends we prepared the programs of the Fondazione Mediterraneo and the initiatives in favour of the populations of Ex-Yugoslavia, affected by one of the greatest tragedies after the second world war.
Fouas was immediately one of us: with his great knowledge that was also method and was accompanied by intellectual honesty, first of all, it was impossible to induce the people to compare with superiority in confronts of the others.
He was an extremely cordial person and his strong French accent was a characteristic of his speeches.
Khaled Fouad Allam has been an example of dialogue, peace, intellectual and moral integrity. In spite of his tragical death, the lessons he gave to use are still valid, and these lessons were spreaded not only through his job – the University, the conferences, the political activity, the conventions – but also through his behaviour, always calm, respectful, competent, opened towards the highest manifestations of the humanity and critic regarding every form of discrimination or violence.
We will keep the heritage which he has left to us.

Francis Pope, after the pilgrimage in Holy Land, invited in His “house” the President of Israel and the Palestinian Authority for a prayer meeting for peace on the 8 june of 2014 in Vatican in Rome.
The Pope asked to the church to pray for this unprecedent meeting which got the world attention. On June 6 of 2014 the initiative “ONE MINUTE POR LA PAZ- ONE MINUTE FOR PEACE” was launched, in preparation of the meeting sponsored by the Pope. We gathered in a simple, short and accessible to all prayer.
The applications to the event has been significant in several countries, in particular, through Facebook were collected almost 10.000 applications in a short time.
All over this year we remembered what Francis Pope said on the 8 June of 2014:
“Our meeting for the claim of peace in Holy Land, in Middle East and in the whole world has been accompanied by the prayer of people of different religions: people who prayed for this meeting and now are bond to us in the same invocation. It is a meeting which is a response to the warm desire to people who is struggling for peace and dream about where men and women could live together as friends and not as enemies”.
“Questo nostro incontro di invocazione della pace in Terra Santa, in Medio Oriente e in tutto il mondo è accompagnato dalla preghiera di tantissime persone, appartenenti a diverse culture, patrie, lingue e religioni: persone che hanno pregato per questo incontro e che ora sono unite a noi nella stessa invocazione. È un incontro che risponde all’ardente desiderio di quanti anelano alla pace e sognano un mondo dove gli uomini e le donne possano vivere da fratelli e non da avversari o da nemici.”
