In the past 5 days, civilian casualities in Kabul, civilian casualities in Ningarhar, & possibly more. Also military casualities every day. The cost of this war is high & it is paid by the poor & civilians. No wonder there is such overwhelming desire for an end to violence

Should youth who want to live like their counterparts in the region & the world fear or hope? Women who want to live full, dignified lives? Journalists? Artists? Little girls & boys dreaming to make art, shine in sports or science?

Wanting a dignified peace is the right of all Afghans. That means working from a place of hope, for all sides. A dignified & lasting peace can be build on empathy, trust & respect 4 all, not resentment, fear, marginalization & tyranny. Not with silencing dissenting voices.

You can’t have sustainable peace in absense of women’s human rights, or tolerance, or addressing grievance. You can have something. It will not be peace. We must work for a lasting peace, even if it seems far from possible. Afgs deserve nothing less after decades of war & loss.
