A peace convoy from Kunar province arrived in Kabul on Saturday evening after walking for six days in protest against the war.
This is the second peace convoy to arrive in Kabul this month, after the Helmand group’s arrival 13 days ago.
The Kunar activists, who started their walk to Kabul on Monday, are currently in Kabul's Chaman-e-Hozoori area.
Members of the convoy said they walked to Kabul in support of peace efforts that were recently launched around the country.
The peace activists urged Kabul residents to join them and raise their voices against the war.
“In the past four decades, people suffered a lot. Now due to war we are a backward nation,” Mufti Mohammad Bilal, a religious scholar and a member of the convoy said.
Members of the convoy said the war now needs to end and insurgents and government should start talks.
“We call on all the people, on residents of other provinces, to come to Kabul and raise their voices for peace,” Abdul Rashid Alimi, a member of the convoy said.
The latest convoy arrived in Kabul on day four of the Helmand Peace Convoy’s sit-in protest outside the US embassy in Kabul.
These peace activists are working on a letter to send to the US Congress to ask US lawmakers for their help to end the war in Afghanistan.
This group was due to move on to the next embassy on Friday but said they would stay outside the US embassy until their demands had been handed over to American officials.
The peace activists initially said they would spend three days outside different missions and embassies in Kabul in a bid to be heard.
Their first stop was outside the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) offices. On Wednesday morning they moved on to the US embassy.
However, on Friday they said they would remain outside the US embassy until contact had been made.
The activists reiterated their decision on Saturday, and said they would only move on once their demands had been stated.
The activists also said they had made contact with a number of Afghans living in the US in the hope that they would also launch demonstrations in America in support of the peace convoy.
The Helmand Peace Convoy first launched a demonstration in Lashkargah city after a deadly bombing at a stadium in late March.
