Informatikai probléma miatt 2017. május 7-én 5 órától szünetelt a határátléptetés a beregsurányi közúti átkelőhely Luzhanka oldalán.

Az ukrán oldalnak sikerült elhárítani a problémát, de torlódásra számíthatnak az utazók.

Köszönöm Istenem az édesanyámat !
Amíg ő véd engem, nem ér semmi bánat !
Körülvesz virrasztó áldó szeretettel.
Értem éjjel-nappal dolgozni nem restel.
Áldott teste, lelke csak érettem fárad.
Köszönöm, Istenem az édesanyámat.

Köszönöm a lelkét, melyből reggel, este
imádság száll Hozzád, gyermekéért esdve.
Köszönöm a szívét, mely csak értem dobban
- itt e földön senki sem szerethet jobban ! -
Köszönöm a szemét, melyből jóság árad,
Istenem, köszönöm az édesanyámat.

Te tudod, Istenem – milyen sok az árva,
Aki oltalmadat, vigaszodat várja.
Leborulva kérlek: gondod legyen rájuk,
Hiszen szegényeknek nincsen édesanyjuk!
Vigasztald meg őket áldó kegyelmeddel,
Nagy-nagy bánatukat takard el, temesd el !

Áldd meg édesanyám járását-kelését,
Áldd meg könnyhullatását, áldd meg szenvedését !
Áldd meg imádságát, melyben el nem fárad,
Áldd meg két kezeddel az Édesanyámat !

Halld meg jó Istenem, legbuzgóbb imámat:
Köszönöm, köszönöm az édesanyámat !!!

„Boldogok a tiszta szívűek, mert ők meglátják az Istent” (Mt. 5, 1–12)

Olyan jó kimondani ezeket a szavakat: „boldogok, boldogság, boldog vagyok”. Kevés boldog embert látni mostanában. Sokan rohannak, keresik a boldogságot sok mindenben, de nem találják, mert rossz helyen keresik. Sok olyan ember is van, aki boldognak és kiegyensúlyozottnak látszik, és egyszer csak azt halljuk, hogy „válnak”, „depressziós lett”, „alkoholizál” stb.

Itt a boldogság, az igazi boldogság forrása a fenti Igében. Jézus leül, és elmondja: akkor leszel boldog, ha sírsz; ha szelíd vagy; ha éhezed az igazságot; ha üldöznek; ha tiszta a szíved. Sok ember azt hiszi, az a boldogság, ha mindene megvan, ha mindig mosolyogni látják, ha nem fáj semmije. Igen, ezt is lehet boldogságnak nevezni, de sajnos, ha megváltoznak a körülmények, amelyek ezt befolyásolták, akkor elmúlik ez a fajta boldogság. Viszont vannak olyan boldog emberek, akiknek a boldogságát nem földi dolgok határozzák meg, mert a gyász, a sírás, az üldözés között is boldogok tudnak lenni (vagy maradni). Kell hozzá a tiszta szív. Onnan tudjuk, mi a tiszta, hogy ismerjük a mocskosat, piszkosat. Nem könnyű tisztán megőrizni a szívet, de nem is boldog az, akinek nem tiszta a szíve.

Mi az, ami akadályoz a boldogságomban? A szívem tisztátalansága, mert akkor nem látom Istent, nem érzem jelenlétét a „mocskos szívemben” – ilyenkor BOLDOGTALAN vagyok. Az életem, a szavaim is a szívemhez kötődnek: „a szív teljességéből szól a száj”. Amilyen a szívem, olyan a beszédem, a gondolataim, az életem. Ha tiszta a szívem, tiszta a beszédem és a cselekedetem, s ott van benne az a szentség, tisztaság, aki maga Szent és Tiszta – Isten. Jó lenne, ha úgy telnének napjaink, hogy minden dolognál fontosabb lenne szívem őrzése, tisztasága – tehát a BOLDOGSÁGOM.

A Pro Cultura Subcarpathica civil szervezet közreműködésével Buvári Tamás filmrendező, producer a Szeretföld című háborúellenes filmjét mutatta be május 4-én a II. Rákóczi Ferenc Kárpátaljai Magyar Főiskolán annak tanárai és hallgatói számára.

A film Iancu Laura azonos című regénye alapján készült 2015 nyara és 2016 tele között Veszprémben, közösségi finanszírozásból. A regénnyel ellentétben, melyben a cselekmény Csángóföldön játszódik az első világháború idején, Buvári Tamás filmjének képzeletbeli helyszíne egy magyarországi menekültszálló, ahol a jelenlegi ukrán konfliktus miatt szülőföldjüket elhagyni kényszerülő emberek élnek.

A cselekmény egyszerre két szálon fut a filmben. Egyrészt megismerhetjük a menekültszálló lakóinak hétköznapjait, az ott dolgozó szociális munkás Annát, másrészt belecsöppenünk az ő közösségi élet felrázása céljából írt színdarabjának világába, amely fejezetenként bontakozik ki előttünk, s mutatja be a képzeletbelit falu, Szeretföld történetét.

A település lakóit megviselte a háború, világuk összeomlott. Békére és templomra vágynak, ezért felépíteni kezdik annak régi romjait. A történet egyik kulcsszereplője, Jeremiás, a katona, akire mindenki vár, s aki még mindig fél a háborúból hazatérni a családjához Szeretföldre. Vajon mi történt vele a messzi távolban? Mi látszik az arcán? Mi ment végbe a szívében? Ezeket a kérdéseket tehetnénk fel akár most is a Kelet-Ukrajnában járt katonákat látva. Jeremiás feleségének, Magdolnának sok áldozatot kell hoznia, de kész mindezekre, mert a háború kegyetlensége sem tudta kiirtani szívéből a szeretetet és a reményt. A játékfilm Szeretföld szereplőinek életén keresztül bemutatja a háború egyénekre és a közösségre gyakorolt hatását is.

A film főszereplői között láthatjuk a rendező feleségét, Turós-Máté Kingát és kisfiukat, a forgatás ideje alatt mindössze hatéves Buvári Csegét is. Mellettük Lipták Jeanne, Nagy Zsolt, Trokán Anna, Trócsányi Gergely, Lengyel Ferenc, Kőrösi Csaba, Máté P. Gábor és Módri Györgyi alkotják a szereplőgárdát.

Buvári Tamás filmjét jelenleg alternatív forgalmazásban láthatja a közönség a gyártásért felelős SzeretFilm Stúdió által. A határon túlra elsőként Kárpátaljára került, ahol a közönség a beregszászi vetítés mellett május 5-én az ungvári Kubrick Moziteremben ismerhette meg a filmet.

May 6, 2017 (DURBAN) - Hollywood actor, Forest Whitaker has openly appealed for peace in South Sudan, a country hit by war since 2013.

In his remarks at the World Economic Forum Africa in Durban, South Africa, Whitaker called for international intervention in negotiations to end the war, which has killed tens of thousands and displaced millions of people.

Whitaker, also the United Nations Global ambassador for peace, said it would cost an estimated $4.4 billion to avert a full-blown famine that could claim six million lives in South Sudan.

"1.8 million people have already been displaced while 1.7 million people are refugees," he told the forum on Friday.

In February, three U.N agencies and the government declared an outbreak of famine in parts of South Sudan, as violence escalated.

"The food insecurity in South Sudan stands at almost 50% and the U.N has to step up in terms of negotiations to try and bring peace and stability to the area," stressed the U.N ambassador for peace.

South Sudan gained independence from Sudan in 2011 after years of civil war, but conflict out in December 2013 after disagreements within its ruling party.

May 6, 2017 (JUBA) – The number of people killed in Friday's attack on the road between South Sudan capital, Juba and the northeastern town of Bor has risen to 30.

The attack occurred about 150km from Juba.

“There was no [telephone] network in Bor and people traveling from Juba never heard that tragic news and fell in the ambush,” said Awan Deng, who lost a relative.

According to multiple sources, 15 bodies were found late on Friday and three more bodies on Saturday. Five people were injured and five others, all men, are missing.

“We were in the same car and when the vehicle was strayed with bullets, I and five other people escaped, only to realize that some children were left in the car. I came back to help the children and fortunately, some soldiers just arrived and the attackers ran away,” narrated John Madang, a survivor.

Although the actual identities of the attackers remain unknown, survivors blamed Mundari tribesmen who inhabit the area. Others pointed fingers at Murle gunmen.

A police officer in Gameza, the center along Juba—Bor highway, said armed youth from Bor community revenged on the Mundari villages.

“Bor [armed youths] have burnt several villages including Gameza town and Safari,” said the officer, requesting to remain anonymous.

In 2009, clashes between Dinka Bor and the Mundari saw dozens killed and thousands displaced, amid calls for calm from Terekeka county and Jonglei state officials.

May 6, 2017 (JUBA) - South Sudanese government under President Salva Kiir will on Monday swear in members of the national dialogue committee. Officials hope the initiative would be a step towards a lasting solution to end a deadly conflict and permit discussions for reforms and multi-party democracy.

In an announcement on the state-owned South Sudan Broadcasting Corporation (SSBC) TV on Saturday, President Kiir has called on members of the National Dialogue Steering committee, including the Secretariat to attend the swearing-in ceremony on Monday 8th May at 10 A.M.

The announcements follow a presidential order rebranding National Steering committee made up of more than 109 members with representatives of the neighbouring Countries.

It is not yet clear whether all the members of the National Steering committee will attend the widely publicised function. Key opposition figures who are appointed without prior consultation, including Rebecca Nyandeng de Mabior and Kosti Manibe, have turned down their appointments, citing the need for confidence-building measures, including the end of hostilities and the involvement African Union and United Nations.

Presidential Advisor Tor Deng Mawien on decentralisation and intergovernmental linkage told Sudan Tribune on Saturday that the dialogue would be an opportunity for all the parties to hold frank discussions on how to end the conflict in the country.

"We are going to hold a comprehensive national dialogue during which we will announce South Sudan's transition towards a multi-party democratic state in which everyone will be equal and able to participate in the building of the nation's future,” said Mawien.

Delegates, he said are expected to include civil society, women groups, youth, political parties and representatives from international organisations and observers from countries in the region.

The delegates would be invited to discuss a whole bundle of reforms and would encourage experts to present during the dialogue analytical reports to support the reform project and the national dialogue.

May 6, 2017 (NEW YORK) – The United Nations Security Council has "strongly" condemned the 3 May attack on its mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), calling on all parties to immediately adhere to the permanent ceasefire called for in the August 2015 peace deal.

According to UNMISS, between 11 pm and midnight on 3 May, the mission's temporary operating base in Leer town in the former Unity State came under small-arms attack from the direction of the nearby government-held town.

Peacekeepers' quick defensive action secured the safety of all of the internally displaced people who had sought UN protection adjacent to the base, said UNMISS.

“The members of the Security Council recalled that individuals who, directly or indirectly, engage in attacks against United Nations missions, international security presence, or other peacekeeping operations, or humanitarian personnel, may be designated for targeted sanctions,” the 15-member body said in a 6 May statement.

The Council members, however, expressed appreciation for the actions taken by UNMISS peacekeepers to repel the 3 May attack, further condemned the continued violence committed by all parties, including the ongoing military offensives, and called for the removal of all obstacles to the delivery of lifesaving humanitarian assistance.

The U.N human rights chief had earlier, also appealed to the Government of South Sudan to halt any further military offensives towards Aburoc in the Upper Nile region.

Despite the August 2015 peace deal, South Sudan has witnessed renewed clashes between forces loyal to South Sudan President Salva Kiir and the armed opposition faction (SPLM-IO) backing the country's First Vice-President Riek Machar.

Violence has caused a rise in the number of displaced people into its bases, while thousands have fled to neighbouring Uganda, Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya.

Up to 50, 000 civilians in South Sudan's oil-producing Upper Nile region are at imminent risk of human rights violations as government troops close in, the U.N High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein warned Thursday.

May 6, 2017 (JUBA) - South Sudan has denied reports that its soldiers attacked a United Nations peacekeeping base in Leer, a town in former Unity state.

The army spokesman, Col. Santo Domic Chol claimed the military was yet to receive formal complaints from anyone claiming to have been assaulted.

“Our forces did not any attack any U.N facility. That is not part of our culture. it is not part of our operations. We do not have a problem with the United Nations and therefore not wise to just feed the public with incident which has not been fully investigated and proved to have carried out by our forces”, he said on Saturday.

The official was reacting to the Security Council's condemnation of the attack, which reportedly came from the direction of a government-held territory in Leer.

Members of the Security Council, in a statement, strongly condemned the attack on its South Sudan mission (UNMISS) in Leer. The incident took place on the 3 May.

The Council expressed appreciation for the actions taken by UNMISS peacekeepers to repel the attack, pointing out that individuals, who, directly or indirectly, engage in attacks against U.N missions, international security presence, or other peacekeeping operations, or humanitarian personnel, may be designated for targeted sanctions.

“The members of the Security Council further condemned the continued violence committed by all parties in South Sudan, including the ongoing military offensives, and called on all parties to immediately adhere to the permanent ceasefire as called for in the Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan and to remove all obstacles to delivery of lifesaving humanitarian assistance," partly reads the statement.

Relations between South Sudan government and the world body soured when conflict erupted in the young nation in mid-December 2013, forcing thousands of unarmed civilians to seek protection various camps and compounds manned by the U.N from the fighting. The government accused U.N of sheltering rebels inside its bases.

A January 2014 incident in which UNMISS barred the country's information minister, Michael Makuei Lueth from entering its base in Jonglei after his bodyguards were found in possession of weapons worsened ties between government and the U.N.

However, in events that followed, President Salva Kiir accused the world body of seeking to take over the war-torn nation, reinforcing speculations by members of his government that U.N mission in the country may have pushed his main political rival, Riek Machar, to rise up against him. The president later retracted his accusations.
