#FlyKitesNotDrones @kitesnotdrones
Last year the campaign was launched by the Afghan Peace Volunteers, young peace activists in Kabul who have lost loved ones, and endured life under drones; they wanted to encourage people around the world to be in solidarity with Afghans by participating in their favourite national pastime of kite flying on the Nao Roz (Persian New Year), while also saying that the skies should be kept for fun and peaceful activities, and not for terrorising civilians.

This year the campaign focus is about children who live under the constant threat of drones, children who now have nightmares about drone strikes, who are“psychologically traumatised”, and feel “suffocated” by the threat of armed drones, and moreover, the thousands of children who have lost their lives to drone strikes.
