Indian United Nations peacekeeping award winner calls for peace in Lebanon

UNITED NATIONS: Indian Army Major Abhilasha Barak, who received a UNpeacekeeping award, has urged diplomacy to find an end to the conflict in Lebanon so that rebuilding can begin in the war-devastated country where she is a peacekeeper.  “What I foresee further is that talks should take place, diplomacy should come into action, and hopefully the ceasefire will continue”, Barak said at a news conference on Friday (local time)  “And then we can move on to rebuilding the community, not just physically with their roads and destructed homes, but also (healing) the post-trauma, which they are going under”, she said when asked about the situation in Lebanon.
