· 2 min read · 466 views

KABUL members on Sunday threw their weight behind an ongoing movement for peace in southern Helmand province.

A number of youth, including women, have erected tents over the past eight days in Lashkargah, the provincial capital, to demand peace after a suicide attack killed 16 people and injured 55 others.

During the sit-ins, a number of protesters went on hunger strike three days back, with six ending in hospital on Saturday after their condition deteriorated.
