We see war as a grand fight for our country;
We see famaliesat memorials, commemerating and honoring ancestors and loved ones.
Photographs, sketches, poems about veterans of war.
hundreds of thousands of people die during war and famalies are informed by local priests, they then become signs of death and hate.
Women and children of loved ones goiong to previous battle sites scavenging for bodies of loved ones.
War is a great thing to the government, if they gain land or even loose land!
War is blackhearted.
Every day i cry myself to sleep, praying that this war will end.
Peace is what we need;
Peace between everyone.
Do you think i want to fight my friend?
when the white flag went up to collect the bodies the enemy started to talk to me.
and i realised, we are friends, why shoul we fight
