Under the critical situation that seeds of discard have been sown among our countrymen, and because of the civil war they have been divided in to various factions, we the members of the Afghans Pen Club in Stockholm strongly believe that there are still many common points and grounds among our people and in spite of the harmful dominance of bigotry, shortsightedness and ignorance we can rely on our national, historical and religious values to fill in the gaps of hatred among various factions and revive our common national conscience...
