The guns may stop.
Negotiators may sign an agreement.
The headlines may move on.

But peace requires more than the absence of violence.

It means rebuilding trust, addressing injustice, restoring communities, and giving people a reason to believe that violence will not return.

So perhaps the real question is not:

“How do we stop a war?”

But:

“How do we build a peace that lasts?”
