What happens when COVID-19 hits countries ravaged by armed conflict?

Find out next Thursday, May 28 at 6 pm in a live discussion with local peacebuilders from Yemen and Afghanistan as they give us an unfiltered perspective of what is happening on the ground.

With the UN calling for a global ceasefire, will violence actually stop in places like Afghanistan and Yemen? Or will the pandemic deepen divides?

Our two peacebuilders will share what they see.

In Afghanistan, Ehsanullah Abrar was supporting a historic peace process before COVID-19, promoting local voices while the U.S. and the Taliban reached a deal; today, that process is in doubt. In Yemen, Shoqi Al-Maktary is coordinating efforts to deliver aid to those in desperate need while using every opportunity to de-escalate tensions.

Both have seen the frontline effects of COVID-19, and both are ready to raise their voices, share their stories, and answer your questions.

Preregister here to discuss COVID-19 and conflict with the extraordinary voices that have lived through both.
