On January 21, 2018, Mohammad Hussain Jamshidi and three young adults from a village in Rabat Sangi District of Herat Province decided to illegally cross the border into Iran to find jobs to support their families. Abdul Qadir Jamshidi, the older brother of Hussain, accompanied them to the center of Rabat Sangi District and saw them off with ten others. They all boarded into a large sedan known as 'Sarachah' in Afghanistan. As they departed toward the border, Abdul Qadir decided to return back home. However, in a matter of moments, Abdul Qadir received a call informing him of his brother's death in a roadside mine explosion. The explosion also killed the other eight co-passengers, leaving only one survivor. Their vehicle had encountered an anti-personal mine near Faizabad Village in Rabat Sangi District.

Abdul Qadir recalls, "He took them on board, I said goodbye to them, they left. I returned home. Before I got home, I got a call. I did not get out of the car yet. From Sarachah, they said, 'the car of these children has been hit by a mine.' I asked where. They said in Faizabad. I did not call anyone else but my two brothers. We didn't call anyone because of the panic and fear we had."

Sardar Ahmad, a journalist at AFP’s Kabul bureau, was killed along with his wife and two of their children in an attack on the city’s Serena Hotel. His youngest son was seriously injured in the attack.

In the dark midnight, all were sleeping. That night when the explosion took place, I imagined our home upside down. Those scenes of horror and darkness still haunt my dreams. In the dark, I tried to move and look for my family members, those who were fine and who were injured. But I couldn’t get up and move. Then, I figured out that my leg felt wet and I was injured by broken glass from my house. I had lost one leg in 1989 in a mine explosion. This time, my other leg was injured.

Many Mujahidin factions waged a civil war throughout Afghanistan in the 1990s, killing thousands of people, including women and children. Some were forced to flee their homes and subjected to various forms of violence like rape, extortion, abuse, harassment, and arbitrary detention.

Qand Agha, the son of Negar, is one of the victims of senseless war. He was not killed during the time of the civil war nor during the Taliban regime, but as a result of a suicide attack under the current regime of president Karzai. He is the victim of a cycle of violence initiated decades before and likely to continue for years to come as the thousands of innocent deaths since 2001 prove that the roots of violence have not yet been totally wiped out.

My son was only 18-years-old when he was taken to military service under Babrag Karmal’s rule. He was killed a year later. First, he used to serve in Kabul and then transferred to the Panjshir Valley. He spent two months there and was then killed. During a year of military service, he came home only once. He always reassured us that one day his service would end and he would come back home. Two days before his official end of service, he was killed. He was buried in Khaja Bughra before we even came to know about his death. Later, we opened his grave and saw him one last time.

I rushed to the Shah Shahid area after the explosion that Friday and found their room crumbled to dust. I went to search for them at the Emergency Hospital, NDS Hospital, and many other public hospitals, but couldn’t find them so I returned. The area was surrounded by security forces because the Defense and Interior Ministers had visited the area. They prevented us from entering the perimeter until the Minister of Defense heard the story and allowed us to search for our martyrs. We searched under the rubble with excavators but found nothing except a book, a shoe, and a mattress. That distressed me even more because family and relatives kept calling to know if they were found or not.

Many Mujahidin factions waged a civil war throughout Afghanistan in the 1990s, killing thousands of people, including women and children. Some were forced to flee their homes and subjected to various forms of violence like rape, extortion, abuse, harassment, and arbitrary detention.
