The People's Peace Movement[1] or Helmand Peace Convoy[2] is a nonviolent resistance grassroots group in Afghanistan, created in March 2018 after a suicide car bomb attack on 19 March in Lashkargah, Helmand Province.[3][2][4] The PPM calls for the military forces of both the government of Afghanistan and the Taliban to implement a ceasefire and advance the Afghan peace process.[3] The group marched across Afghanistan to Kabul, where it met leaders of both parties and conducted sit-ins in front of diplomatic posts,[5] before continuing its march to Balkh and Mazar-i-Sharif, arriving in September 2018.[6]
