Nagasaki mayor warns of nuclear war 80 years after atomic bomb attack
The Mayor of Nagasaki, Tomihisa Taue, has issued a somber warning on the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombing of the city by the United States during World War II. The attack, which took place on August 9, 1945, killed an estimated 74,000 people instantly and tens of thousands more due to radiation sickness and injuries in the months that followed.
Mayor Taue commemorated the anniversary by urging global leaders to renew their commitment to nuclear disarmament. He emphasized the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapons and the urgent need for all countries to work towards a world free of such arms.
Taue’s message comes amidst growing concerns about nuclear proliferation and diplomatic tensions between nuclear-armed states. He warned that the use of nuclear weapons continues to pose an existential threat to humanity, and stressed the importance of learning from the tragedies of the past to prevent future devastation.
The mayor’s call for peace and disarmament was echoed by peace activists and survivors of the atomic bombing, who gathered at the Nagasaki Peace Park to honor the victims and renew their pledge to work towards a world without nuclear weapons.
As the world marks 80 years since the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, Mayor Taue’s plea serves as a stark reminder of the catastrophic consequences of nuclear war and the pressing need for global action to prevent such a tragedy from ever happening again.
