@hazara123 - notice that these youth do not make racial superiority comments yet you do. have you not learnt anything from their message?

[hazara123]

@Fatima74- can u write for me please, what you consider in my comment racial superiority. i don't think that i wrote anything racial or to offend others.

[Fatima74]

@hazara123 - maybe that was not your intention but how would you feel if someone made a similar ethnocentric comment such as "zinda bad pushtun"? the message of the Afghan Youth Peace Volunteers is not for any one ethnic groups, it is not only for ALL Afghans but for all of humanity as well. inside Afghanistan, suffering is not limited by ethnic group. it is the elite inflicting suffering upon the poor of all ethnic groups.

[MrChehaz]

@Fatima74 You obviously dont know your history if you believe that the 100 year oppression of Hazaras is equatable to sufferings felt by any other ethnic group in afg. Besides it was the Pashtuns who have and continue to opress the Hazaras, so how can you compare the oppressors situation to that of the oppressed? Lastly, Pashtuns should not have the right to say "zinda bad Pashtun" because pashtun nationalism has proved to be very dangerous and fatal to the rest of Afghanistan.

[hazara123]

@Fatima74 i believe in humanity but one thing is believing the other thing is reality, when people get discriminated every day in their lives and the government and all institutions support that process because of their physical futures different than the rest of people in that country. fatima jan my point was very clear in my comment. hazarajat is most save place wright now in afghanistan but the government hasn't spent any money to change their lives and international community does too.

[Fatima74]

@hazara123 jaan (wish i knew ur name) - not denying the injustices going on, trying to explain that the injustices are not restricted to any one ethnic group. We all need to work together towards peace no matter how impossible it seems. The Afghan Youth Peace Volunteers in these videos stand as a strong testimony to PEACE and LOVE for ALL. If they can do that, so can we =)

[hazara123]

@Fatima74 the government every year sapport kojies in summer time to go to hazarajat and destroy everything, burn and kill inoccent people. at the end government pay them millions of dollors to leave the area. government justifies their action to kill the hazaras and its happening since 2001. its just one example, it can go on and on. i am agree with you to stand against injustice but in afghanistan we don't have acceptance. we have to accept eachother and work togather for better future.

[Fatima74]

@hazara123 - what you are describing is the direct result and disastrous effects of long term war. corrupt governments have been put in place by the world's elites. ethnic differences are further exploited by the ruling class to keep the people divided and fighting amongst themselves. the people need peaceful long term sustainable alternatives to war. and that is the message that is being resonated through these videos.

[hazara123]

@Fatima74 ok fatima jaan i wish u all the best. it was nice chatting with u. basim

[Fatima74]

@hazara123 - nice to meet you and was good talking to you too basim jaan =) also, we are hosting a "Global Day of Listening to Afghans" with Afghan Youth Peace Volunteers this Saturday and Sunday, search for "thepeoplesjourney" on google.

@Fatima74 - notice how you are not making sense fatima, he did not say anything about superiority or make any racial comment, what he said was clear, he made a specific reference to the people of a particular ethnic group who have suffered for far too long, if anybody is being racist and prejudicial right now it is yourself, because you are ignoring the discriminatory practices of the corrupt government that is targeted against a specific group, and this group 'Hazaras' have suffered.

[Fatima74]

@adidaskr9 - how would you feel if someone made a similar ethnocentric comment such as "zinda bad pushtun"? the message of the Afghan Youth Peace Volunteers is not for any one ethnic group, in fact, it is not only for ALL Afghans but for all of humanity as well. inside Afghanistan, the corrupt govt is not only targeting hazaras, the elite are inflicting suffering upon the poor of all ethnic groups. the suffering of the afghan people is not limited to any one ethnic group.

[Fatima74]

@adidaskr9 - I admire that fact that the Afghan Youth Peace Volunteers share their message of love and peace for ALL humanity. They are not furthering any ethno-centric ways of thinking. In fact, they are writing "humdard" letters to the victims of US/NATO bombs in the South of Afghanistan which are predominantly Pashtuns. I hope that humanity will wake up and realize that ethno-centricism only serves the purpose of the oppressors.

[adidaskr9]

i love this video and i love my poor and helpless people.

[MrChehaz]

@Fatima74 what in his comment did you see as being racist? or racially motivated?

[Fatima74]

@MrChehaz - i answered above in response to others, please feel free to ask more questions if you have any.

[SierraMascara28]

"war cannot resolve war"

[dancewater2]
