International Peace Day from Kabul, Afghanistan
21 Sep 2012; posted by the editor - International, Afghanistan
By Johnny Barber
On this International Day of Peace I am sitting in Kabul, Afghanistan with a handful of youth that want nothing but peaceful coexistence in their lives. This in some respects is like a dream because their entire lives have been surrounded by war, death, corruption, and struggle. Peace has been in short supply. For three years the Afghan Peace Volunteers have worked to develop friendships across ethnic lines in Kabul and various provinces throughout Afghanistan. The work has been difficult, trust is hard to come by in this war torn land, but they are adamant that non-violence is the only way forward. I have sat with similar groups in the West Bank, Gaza, Lebanon, Iraq, America and Israel. Rarely are their voices heard over the drums of war.Tags: Afghan Peace VolunteersFarzana, '2 Million Friends' and a Ceasefire in Afghanistan

"Stop fighting," suggests Farzana, a brave 22 year old Afghan stage actress. Significantly, her statement is in sharp contrast to what seems to be the democratic world's unquestioned modus operandi of today, exemplified by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's pet-phrase for Afghanistan, 'Fight, talk and build.'Tags: Afghan Peace Volunteers
