 | LAONF 2008: A Project for Promoting Nonviolent Solutions in Iraq
May 7th, 2008
LAONF literally means “no-to violence” in Arabic. “La” means “no” and “onf” means “violence.” LAONF was formed in 2006. It is a coalition of Iraqi civilian organizations, both within Iraq and in exile, who are committed to strengthening and healing Iraqi civil society through non-violent action. LAONF is working to end the sectarian and political violence between Iraqis, so that Iraq can have a stable, peaceful and prosperous future, free from U.S. occupation.
Peaceful Tomorrows is working with American and international peace organizations to spread the word about this growing Iraqi non-violence organization called LAONF.
