### Reactions after the attack in Vancouver: a call for global solidarity
The recent tragic event that occurred in Vancouver, where a vehicle struck participants from a Filipino Heritage Festival, aroused international reactions, including that of the Egyptian government. The Declaration of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Egypt, expressing its solidarity with Canada, underlines the emotional impact and the universal scope of such a tragedy.
#### A tragic event
The collision, which cost the life of 11 people, also made many injured. This incident, which occurred as part of a cultural celebration, raises many questions about security during public events, but also on the prevention of acts of violence that can strike without warning. The contexts in which attacks of this type occur are often complex. They can be influenced by a host of factors, ranging from social problems to psychological disorders in individuals.
### international reactions: solidarity in times of crisis
The Egyptian declaration, which evokes solidarity in difficult times, underlines the importance of international cooperation in the face of such tragedies. Countries often react to these events by supporting gestures, which go beyond simple words. This can go through logistical aid, from the search for solutions to strengthen security, or simply through the creation of a dialogue space to deal with underlying problems.
Such a reaction on the part of Egypt can also be perceived as a reminder that violence, whatever the motivations, transcends borders. By paying tribute to the victims, each state invites its citizens to reflect on the need to build more resilient societies, where diversity is celebrated and where cultural differences do not become reasons for division.
#### A question on public security
This event also raises questions about public security during major rallies. What is the responsibility of the authorities to ensure the protection of citizens in these situations? Can suitable preventive measures be implemented in order to minimize the risks of such incidents in the future?
Security experts suggest that the adoption of proven protocols, such as risk analyzes before major public events or the implementation of technological surveillance solutions, could contribute to better protection. However, this also raises ethical concerns concerning the surveillance of populations and the deprivation of individual freedoms.
### towards a constructive dialogue
Faced with the emotion aroused by such events, it is crucial to open a space for a constructive dialogue. Whether it is the Philippine community in Vancouver or the populations here and there around the world, it is important that each can express their concerns and their expectations in terms of security and respect for cultural differences.
Furthermore, make way for the debate on how societies can show resilience in the face of inexplicable acts of violence. The promotion of peace education, the valuation of diversity, as well as intercultural initiatives can serve levers to activate to promote a climate of trust and reduce tensions.
#### Conclusion
Vancouver’s attack raises painful but essential questions concerning security, tolerance and international solidarity. The Egyptian response, which goes beyond the expression of condolences, recalls that suffering is a universal language. It is by cultivating dialogue, by strengthening security measures without sacrificing our democratic values, and alternatively throughout the collective suffering that we can hope to build a more serene future.
The search for solutions to prevent such tragedies should mobilize us all: institutions, communities and individuals, beyond geographic and political borders.
