Peace in a minute. Wednesday, October 7, 2009. With today marking the eight years in Afghanistan I thought we'd use an indicator related to that war. This week's Peace Indicator is 26, the number of vigils. Calling for an end to war. People all around the country have entered events into our system.

Talks with all parties to the conflict.
