As founder and president of Salam Sudan Foundation (SSF) since 1985, Dr. Hashim El-Tinay tried to intellectually and spiritually pre-empt Muslim and Christian communities going down the road of violence and what many of us saw as a gathering storm of anger between Islam and the West that could lead to a clash of civilizations.
"I have a lifetime involvement in serving the cause of understanding and peace through friendships and exchanges since my university years. Professionally, I served as a Sudanese diplomat, and a staff at the World Bank, UNESCO and the international NGO World University Service (WUS) in Geneva, Switzerland. I am now President of my private consultancy firm El-Tinay & Associates, operating out of Washington, DC and hopefully soon out of Khartoum, Sudan."
After September 11, 2001 in addition to continuing my peace advocacy through public speaking and writing, my activities included partnering with the DOS Public Diplomacy Dept on the open dialogue speaking tour to Jordan and Lebanon in December 2002 and welcoming, accompanying, interpreting for and speaking to various international visitors at our offices, the Meridian International Center or the Interfaith Conference of Metropolitan Washington (IFC).
As you will see, we have been advocating for and supporting the move towards a peace-centered foreign policy vis-à-vis the Sudan, and happy that in a modest way we contributed through advocacy to arriving at the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in Sudan. Please see our Newsletter: The Peace Quest Messenger at:
http://www.salamsudan.org/resources/PeaceQuestMessenger_Issue1.pdf
Strategically, we believe that by building on the CPA, supporting the peace process in Sudan and improving Muslim-Christian-Jewish as well as African, Middle Eastern and Sudanese-American relations, we are well equipped to contribute, in the long term, to peace through better understanding and thus help bring an end to extremism, terrorism and violence.
In peace/salam,
Hashim
