💥 What’s the Big Deal:

The wounds of the past still bleed into the present. At the RMI Nuclear Victims Remembrance Day, Forum SG Waqa called for unwavering unity and full accountability to honor the lives impacted by decades of nuclear testing 🌊. The Pacific carries a heavy burden: between 1946 and 1958, the Marshall Islands alone endured 67 nuclear tests — a grim legacy of global power struggles played out on Pacific shores 🐚.

This is not just a Pacific story; it is a human story. The Pacific Island nations, sharing solidarity with Japan — the only country to have suffered atomic bombings — bring unparalleled moral authority to the global call for a nuclear-free future. This shared history lends powerful weight to the Pacific Islands Forum’s advocacy for a region free from nuclear weapons and waste 🌿.

The Forum’s united stance sends a clear message: the future of the Pacific cannot be jeopardized by the interests of powerful nations seeking military advantage. True sovereignty means protecting our people, lands, and oceans from nuclear harm, and ensuring reparations and justice are not delayed by political hesitance. Pacific voices must remain firm and loud in the global arena 🧭.

As the Pacific holds space for its history, it also carves a path forward — one of healing, resilience, and unwavering determination. Standing together, Pacific leaders and communities honor those lost, support those still suffering, and ensure that future generations inherit oceans of life, not legacies of devastation 🌺.
