Peace Activists Kidnapped in Logar Now Released
2019-10-20
[ToloNews] Six members of the People’s Peace Movement, who were kidnapped earlier this morning in Pashtun-infested Logar province, have been released, say PPM spokespeople.

The kidnapped members were traveling to a peace gathering in the Sharak area of Pul-e-Alam, Pashtun-infested Logar’s capital, according to Bismillah Watandost, a front man for the People’s Peace Movement.

Earlier, Watandost reported that the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
was responsible, and they had taken the abductees to an ’unknown place in Pashtun-infested Logar province.’

The People’s Peace Movement started in 2018 and gained international attention when members began a march from Helmand
...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan...
to Kabul pledging to personally deliver a demand for peace to both the Afghan government and the Taliban. The movement has undertaken more marches since, and its members have been kidnapped before.

#1  That is some optimism. Even the US has given up.
