Rachel Wambui Kungu, Dennis Kimambo, Kennedy Owino and other leaders of our Pyramid of Peace will attend Kofi Annan's meeting with Kenya's youth leaders. Rachel asked us to share our thoughts and here are mine!

Summary of message for Kofi Annan

Kofi Annan, you know that averting genocide is not a local issue, not a national issue, but an issue for all of humanity. Independent peacemakers are having to work within and support nation-state structures which for many of us are simply irrelevant. We want to organize a world that supports our rights:
* to act as peacemakers and wield all of the authority we are able to
* to belong to no tribe or any and all tribes
* to be included in consensus for the matters that we care about

Please help us reform those institutions which have been negligent:
* Corporations must pay independent peacemakers at corporate rates for taking action which they did not.
* Tribes, clans, castes and cliques must all have leadership structures which make sure that they are inclusive of all people.
* States must cede primacy to those who care about bioregions so they might all work together as stewards.

Corporations must pay peacemakers for the work they did

Kofi Annan, please acknowledge that independent peacemakers like you and all of us had to risk our lives, go without work, take out loans because of the negligence of corporations, tribes and states. Corporations have the resources and the leadership which they should have mobilized for peace, but instead they kept those resources idle, and left that task to independent peacemakers. Indeed, they benefited from the roads we risked our lives to open. They need to realize their negligence of civic duty. Please help us invoice them at corporate rates the work that peacemakers have done which they neglected to do. Surely your own work these last two months would be worth $2,000,000 if not $20,000,000 at corporate executive rates if your work was linked to the rise in value of the Kenyan stock market. I wish to submit a bill for $750,000 to give back to the participants of the Pyramid of Peace what they have given to us and all of Kenya. Please help us find corporations that would honor this bill so that we might have our Peace Dividend.

We must prohibit exclusive tribes, clans, castes, cliques

Kofi Annan, several tribes in Kenya allowed their tribal affiliations to be used to advance genocide and ethnic cleansing. These tribes must be held accountable for their wrongdoings in the way that the Nazis were. More generally, we must achieve an understanding by all people that there must not be any exclusive tribes, clans, castes, cliques or any other cultural affiliations. No person may be discriminated for not belonging to a culture because all people have the right to be included in any culture. We are all free to choose our cultures.

We must insist that every tribe, clan, caste, clique, that every culture have a leadership which can establish, annul, revive and reform the cultural traditions, can speak for the participants of the culture, and hold accountable those who claim to act on behalf of the culture.

There may be national, political cultures but they must give primacy to tribal and other nonpolitical cultures. The state must be held responsible for the education systems which have taken away from the tribal cultures those bright people who could provide much needed cultural leadership. Structures based on compulsion, such as states and corporations, must make clear the leaders responsible for the cultures they foster, and must give primacy to those cultures which are not based on compulsion.

We must be free to care for our bioregions

Kenya and other states have not addressed the underlying bioregional issues that fueled the current crisis.

Historically, states have been important constructs to allow people to defend themselves from oppressors and to make good use of resources and opportunities from several bioregions, so that typically a state includes ports, waterways, agricultural land, natural resources, wilderness and highlands.

However, states must allow us to work together as local residents and global citizens to manage our bioregions, large and small. These are not simply local issues or national issues, but rather each of us has the right to help as a steward of any bioregion wherever it may be. We must be allowed to organize inclusively all, near or far, who care about a bioregion and organize related funds and manage relevant resources. We all have the right to care and the right to help.

Please help us organize a human world that does not assume that states are the framework for all solutions.
