“There thrones for judgment were set,
the thrones of the house of David.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
May they be secure who love you!
Peace be within your walls
and security within your towers!
For my brothers and companions' sake
I will say, “Peace be within you!”
For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek your good.
(Psalm 122:6-9)
The Delegation of the GRUN to the Negotiation Table complies with informing the Nicaraguan Families and the International Community that yesterday another Session has taken place, with some progress, at the Negotiation Table.
Next Monday 20th, there will be another Session, at 10:00 a.m., and the Pending Agenda Points will continue to be discussed, hoping to advance on the Agreements that are necessary for Understanding.
The Delegation of the GRUN at the Negotiation Table regrets the events of last Thursday, at the National Penitentiary System, which were explained in Notes 1 and 2 of the Ministry of Interior.
We also regret the injuries caused to the Custodians of the Penitentiary System.
We hope to God that in the coming days we can present substantive Agreements, derived from the Conversations of the Table, and endorsed by the Witnesses and Guarantors.
No details have been reported on the Conversations held this week, due to the Confidentiality Rules agreed upon at the Negotiation Table.
“May our sons in their youth
be like plants full grown,
our daughters like corner pillars
cut for the structure of a palace;
may our granaries be full,
providing all kinds of produce;
may our sheep bring forth thousands
and ten thousands in our fields;
may our cattle be heavy with young,
suffering no mishap or failure in bearing;
may there be no cry of distress in our streets!
Blessed are the people to whom such blessings fall!
Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!”
(Psalm 144:12-15)
