Constructive discussions this week with Pres @AshrafGhani and other prominent Afghans inside and outside of government on our joint efforts to meet the Afghan people’s compelling desire for peace. Look forward to continuing this important work in greater depth in the coming days.

"A 5 year old child wants peace. A 90 years old woman wants peace. But we all want peace with dignity, peace with end of violence, peace where there is respect for women's rights and human rights. There is peace when we can freely express our thoughts and beliefs" @AtahiMariam
