Hope Betrayed
Narrator: Mahnaz (daughter in-law)
Victim’s Name: Bibi Zulaikha
Date of Incident: 1997
Location of the Incident: Cinema Baharistan, Karte Pawan, Kabul
Periods of war are possibly the worst chapter in the thick history book of humankind. Generally, nothing affects the human spirit more then when the blood of a fellow being is innocently shed. But for some people, these moments of terrible violence increase their appetite for bloodshed and the killing of others turns into frenetic, orgasmic excitement. For these people, the hunger for destruction and looting never diminishes, eventually turning the taking of another person’s life into an almost daily routine. What is more, the mere act of killing no longer satisfies the murderers. Hence, they begin to resort to different forms of torture, thereby constantly transforming the nature of violence as violent conflict continues over time.
One of these tragic deaths is the one of Bibi Zulikha. At the time of her murder, she was 45-years-old and lived in Karte Parwan, Kabul. She was a kind mother and a reputable woman in the area. Everyone liked her and she was living a happy life with her family. Although she was concerned about the war and its consequences, she did not leave Kabul to take refuge in another place. She remained home hoping that the war would not come after her and her family. Unfortunately, things did not turn out that way.
One day, her house was destroyed and Bibi Zulikha was killed. The war between the Taliban and the government of Rabbani was intensifying when a rocket hit Bibi Zulikha’s house, painting the walls red with with her blood and flesh. Her tragic death severely shocked her family, particularly her younger son, who began suffering severe psychotic problems that are still ongoing.
The Story of Mahnaz
My name is Mahnaz and I am 27-years-old. During the war, I lost my mother in-law. She was at home when a rocket hit our house and killed her. My husband went to see what was going on and saw his mother’s head shattered and spread all over. This tragic incident severely affected my husband. Immediately after the mourning ceremony, we left Afghanistan. Today, my husband still suffers from mental problems. I can say that he lost control of his mind. This all happened after the death of his mother.
