Mayor Nagasaki warns about the nuclear war 80 years after Nagasaki

The mayor of Nagasaki addressed the end of the wars, which raged in the world at the 80th anniversary of the US atomic bomb, which destroyed the Japanese city.

“Conflicts around the world are intensified in the vicious cycle of confrontation and fragmentation,” Vyguki said in the Declaration of Peace at a solemn ceremony to celebrate the event.

“If we continue this trajectory, we will eventually include ourselves in the nuclear war.”

The attack on August 9, 1945, which, according to analysts, accelerated at the end of World War II, killed 74,000 people.

In the following years, many survivors suffered from leukemia or other severe side effects of radiation.

The Saturday ceremony took place a few days after the first nuclear bombing, which was aimed at the Japanese city of Hiroshima 80 years ago on August 6, killed about 140,000.

Nagasaki’s bomb, big and more powerful, destroyed entire communities in seconds.

Honoring in the restored city began from the moment of silence.

The bells of the Nagasaki bells were also called for the first time, in a report of the world.

As part of the Saturday ceremony, water offers were made in a moving and symbolic gesture – 80 years ago by victims whose skin was burning after the explosion asked for water.

Today, participants of different generations, including a representative of the survivor, offered water in respect of those who died in atomic fire.

“On August 9, 1945, an atomic bomb was dropped in this city,” Suzuki said in the declaration.

“Now, 80 years since the day who could imagine that our world will become like that? Immediately stop from the disputes in which” force meets with force “.

Having survived the Hirosiyok bomb, 93 years old, which was only 3 km (1.8 mile) from the place where he exploded, told the ceremony about the horror he witnessed.

“Even happy (who were not hit hard), gradually began to bleed from the gums and lose their hair, and they died one by one,” he said as quoted by AFP.

“Despite the fact that the war is over, the atomic bomb brought invisible terror.”

Nagasaki resident Atsuko Hrigucci, 50, said AFP that “made her happy” that the victims of the city were remembered.

“Instead of thinking that these events belong to the past, we must remember that these are real events that have happened,” she added.

Among the bloodiest conflicts that are now raging in the world are the war between Russia and Ukraine, and between Israel and Gaza Hamas.

There were Polemics last year when Nagasaki refused to invite Israel to an annual honor with reference to security issues.

This year’s mayor said Israel was invited, as well as Russia and its ally of Belarus Which was avoided after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

An international agreement that prohibits nuclear weapons, the nuclear weapon prohibition came into force in 2021.

More than 70 countries have ratified this treaty, but the nuclear powers opposed it, arguing their nuclear arsenals as a deterrent.

Japan also rejected the ban, saying that its safety is intensified by the US nuclear weapons.
