A standoff erupted at the US Institute of Peace (USIP) involving the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) attempting to install a new president. Former CEO George Moose was removed by DC police amid legal challenges against the administration. Moose's dismissal and the turmoil reflect a struggle over USIP's leadership, with implications for its mission of promoting peace. He expressed hope that the organization's purpose would endure, aligning with the current administration's goals for conflict resolution and peacebuilding, despite his disappointment at the standoff's circumstances.
DC police showed up at my office and said it is time for you to go.
This building really was it was built not just as a platform for the work that we do. It was built as a symbol of the aspiration of the American people to be peace builders in the world.
I have to believe that in the long term, that purpose, that mission will be reaffirmed.
The mission he told reporters, should be in line with what the Trump administration wants, including coming up with ideas to resolve conflicts and promote peace.
