We thank our friends from America and Palestine who join us in this Bamiyan Buddha Peace Light-up video, while we live in the midst of the 92000 Afghan war Wikileaks representing just the tip of our inhumane fire-berg.

The Afghan Youth Peace Volunteers ask that you would join them for a daily one-hour vigil over 6-days ( from Saturday the 31st of July 2010 to Thursday the 5th of August 2010 ), to ask the leaders of the world, “Why not love?”
The state of Afghanistan is fatally un-sustainable.
Morality, intellectualism and capitalistic democracy are dying in Afghanistan. Humanity is dying.
Everything needs to change but since we can only change ourselves, doing small things like keeping this vigil is what we the ‘nobodies’ of the world must do.
15 year old Abdulai says, “We usually feel alone. I think that my country is on fire and that we are all withering on the inside. We wish for your friendship in this vigil to put out the fire, for only a resolute love can give us some hope. I pray you would believe that we need that hope right now.”
Love and peace,
Abdulai, Hakim and the Afghan Youth Peace Volunteers

The Bamiyan Buddhas
Text of video
We thank the international participants at the Kabul Conference for working with the people of Afghanistan.
An advertisement signboard near the Bamiyan Buddhas saying, “ The future is in your hands.”
Moving our ‘Peace / ???’ sign to the small Buddha…
Fixing the lights on the ‘Peace / ???’ sign
A view from the Buddha statues… from history……from ancient & new ways
So we lifted ‘Peace / ???’ up…
…and secured our ‘Peace / ???’ sign.
We the youth of Bamiyan have lit up the small Bamiyan Buddha with ‘Peace / ???’
‘Peace / ???’
We hope that all our work strategies will change, to bring true peace & reconciliation, not rhetoric without action nor action without results
All of us should leave our fearful nights
We should all say together, “Blood cannot wash away blood.”
Love is how we’ll ask for peace!
??? ???? ??????
Why not love?
Why not love?
From our Palestinian friends Salma & Laila
Why not love?
From our American friends
Let’s leave our fearful nights…
??? ???? ??????
Why not love?
