A ai made this story.

The tragic battle of Boxmatch People and Stick people began in August 23rd, 2021. A military training exercise was underway in the city. The location was always supposed to be evacuated as soon as the war started but in hindsight, we know that isn’t the case.

A group of students did not heed the instructions and tried to fight back. Many others didn’t follow the drill and as a result, 6,500 people perished. You see a lot of people fighting and coming together because of this one event, what’s the answer?

Every month, the UN sets the official resourcing level of the people in our work for peace (PUCP). We don’t agree on what’s the best plan of action but we do know that having people gather and defend themselves from further attacks will lead to success. Fighting from the edges of the city is a waste of time. If we want to win, we have to start at the city core. I’m sure we can change the plan if you can show the political leadership of this city that it’s possible.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like you’ll be hearing back from UN secretary-general Alfred Pérez and the person in charge of PPC called Timeloom. Maybe I should have given them more time, it wasn’t a trap after all. They’ll think we’re wasting their time for sure. A lot of time. So much that they’ll dismiss the whole idea all together and cut the funding from the UN altogether. Probably.

But hey, there’s always hope. Even if you don’t respond to this, maybe they’ll respond to your pleas in five years. So we’ll make a choice to be heard by then. Let’s not give up before we try.

If we can just show the UN that it’s possible to stop the violence and bring back peace, maybe they’ll take our plan seriously and we can finally win against the enemy.

It will take a lot of courage and teamwork but as humans, we’re all better at this sort of stuff than fighting with sticks. Let’s get to work on this and hopefully we can stop this war before it’s too late.

Take care of yourselves out there and watch this video in case they haven’t cut the funding yet.

Never forget that we are all one. Remember it well.

P.S.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you guys. I know this is a lot of typing but I really wanted to get this out there and that’s all I could think of.

Also, I don’t have a lot of pictures to go with this post, but I do have something to show you guys:

I know this is very small, but I’m excited and nervous about this as well. You know the blog is for the community and I want to show the group how cool we all are so maybe we can keep in touch over Slack, Twitter, Tumblr, or Google Plus and work on a feature where we can all post photos and keep the group feeling together. If you’re interested in this, message me and I can have the group leader post the button for everyone. This way people can contribute more and feel more a part of our community. You can read more about it in my Google Plus post (sorry this post is so long) if you’re interested in getting in on the action.

Thank you guys again for showing me a lot of support. You’ve always been there for me and it means a lot to me that you’re here for me now. We can do this together!

Peace out.

Big up to Brother Sun, for being the one who wrote this article and helping me publish it.

*EDIT*: *I’ve decided to remove the video due to “hate speech”. I’m sure some of you out there will say, “Hey that’s his way of protesting violence”. I’m not trying to say that violence is okay and there is no time to stop the violence, because there is. I’m just saying that this shouldn’t have ever gotten to this point and that these boys are obviously still affected by the deaths of their friends. I made this blog post for the children. The children who are still victims of this violence.

“In what they saw as their quest for justice, the children — ranging in age from 11 to 17 — came under the watchful eyes of UN human rights observers who were interviewing them and later investigating their detention.

The children recounted that security forces dragged away seven of their friends during clashes in the area, that they watched a man be decapitated in front of them and that they were barred from going home for seven days.

According to the UN, the security forces arrested at least 30 people in connection with the protests, including minors, and have opened investigations into eight deaths.

Members of the security forces have been placed in custody and some have been indicted, but no one has been arrested yet, according to Mr. Néstor Cristóbal, the deputy minister of public security.

In an effort to dispel accusations that they killed members of the security forces, soldiers used automatic weapons to fire on protesters and broke through concrete walls that separated the protesters from the security forces, according to the UN.

Throughout the protests, security forces beat protesters and detained dozens of people. In one of the videos, masked men appeared to beat up a young man on the street while his hands were covered with black tape, apparently to prevent him from filming.

Sixty people were arrested and the security forces used violence against some of the protesters, the United Nations said.

“The youth of this country need to be understood and they need to be protected,” Mr. Néstor Cristóbal said in a telephone interview. He added that the security forces fired on the protesters but not at the security forces, and they were not responsible for any deaths.

The government of Peru, he said, sought to reduce the violence by appealing to security forces, including members of the national guard, to show restraint. But, he said, there were “some instances of misconduct, some cases of violence.”

Earlier, Mr. Cristóbal had blamed the opposition for the unrest. “Our responsibility is to guarantee the protection of the lives of the people,” he said.

A UN human rights team documented one instance of a security force member, Mr. Néstor Morales, beating a young man during a march and setting off a grenade that killed a 17-year-old girl.

Tensions in the region have risen in recent weeks over Peru’s mining sector, which is booming but creating few opportunities for the rural poor.

Anger in the northern city of Huancavelica over mining pits spilled onto the streets last month and ignited violent clashes between police and protesters. Last week, dozens of protesters were injured during riots in the southern city of Pasco, and a policeman was found badly beaten with several fractures on Thursday in the capital, Lima.

“The area was an island of violence with no violence from the state until the government responded with lethal force,” said Victor Campos Guebari, the mayor of Lima’s Miraflores district.

Now, “the violence is just spreading across the country,” Mr. Campos said.

The Peruvian government, which has deployed more than 3,500 security forces, said the protests in northern and central Peru are a result of opposition to public spending on health care and education.

The protests in the city of Tumbes were initially sparked by students who had received a letter from the local water authority offering them subsidies.

Police officers “were out of control” on Thursday, Mr. Campos said. He said they had beaten members of a group of indigenous people who had refused to leave a public park where protesters had been gathering, and beat security guards.

Some protesters accused the security forces of shooting civilians.

“The state did not act as a human rights defender,” said Johan Quevedo, a protester and spokesman for the National Indigenous Community. “We did not have violence from the government.”

Mr. Quevedo accused the police of taking orders from “those who call for a violent march in the media” and not from the state.

“The security forces were dragging people and beating them and they were beating people who were already on the ground,” he said.

“We are not in a civil war. The state reacted as a human rights defender,” said Jorge Alonso, a 25-year-old protester. He said many protesters suffered injuries from being beaten, and some who were shot in the head and died.

“I saw a man on a stretcher with a puncture wound in the face who was bleeding. He was beaten up by one of the security forces in front of me. They were beating him and shot him,” Mr. Alonso said.

“It was one of the violent groups that moved out,” he added.
