- Description of incident
On May 4, 2009, a United States Air Force B-1 Bomber conducted an airstrike on Granai village in Bala Buluk district, Farah Province, resulting in significant civilian casualties. The incident, sometimes referred to as the Granai massacre, became one of the deadliest civilian casualty events involving international military forces in Afghanistan. The exact number of civilian deaths remains a matter of dispute among various investigative bodies. The Afghan government reported approximately 140 civilian fatalities, including 22 adult men and 93 children. Afghanistan's principal human rights organization concluded that 97 civilians were killed, with children comprising the majority of victims. Other estimates place the civilian death toll between 86 and 147 individuals. An initial investigation by the US military assessed that 20-30 civilians were killed alongside 60-65 insurgents. However, these figures were contested by Afghan authorities and international observers. A subsequent, partially released American inquiry acknowledged the limitations of the investigation, stating that a conclusive determination of the civilian casualty count would not be possible. The United States military accepted responsibility for the airstrike and admitted that significant errors occurred in its execution. Official statements acknowledged that the failure to identify the presence of civilians and to minimize collateral damage resulted in unintended civilian casualties.

A village resident told Etilaatroz newspaper that armed Kochi individuals were responsible for the killing. The source further stated that several other village residents had been killed in similar circumstances in the past. According to the same source, local residents had filed multiple complaints with Taliban authorities regarding these incidents, but local officials allegedly did not respond to their grievances. The circumstances surrounding Hasani's death and the allegations regarding the perpetrators remain unconfirmed by independent sources.

On the morning of Friday, November 14, 2025, Nowruz, an approximately 30-year-old father of two children, was killed in an armed attack in Qoto Sofla village, DaY Mirdad district, Maidan Wardak Province. The victim was shot as he left his home. His brother, Rahmatullah, who had followed him outside, was also shot and critically injured with a head wound. Rahmatullah was transferred to Emergency Hospital in Kabul and placed in a coma under medical care. According to local residents who confirmed the incident, Nowruz was an original resident of Qoto village. He and his family had been displaced to Kabul and other villages in recent years and had only recently returned to their ancestral home. Local sources reported that the four attackers had concealed themselves the night before the assault in the neighboring village of Qoto Ulya, which is uninhabited. On the morning of the attack, they approached Qoto Sofla through a mountain route and opened fire on Nowruz as he exited his home. Taliban intelligence authorities arrested four Kochi (nomadic Pashtuns) men on suspicion of involvement in the attack. The motive for the assault remains unclear; however, local sources indicated that Kochies had conducted repeated attacks on Qoto village residents in the past, forcing them to flee. According to these sources, more than 200 families once lived in both Qoto villages, but the area became largely uninhabited over the past decade due to repeated attacks. Nowruz's family was reportedly the first to return to the village within the past two years, driven by economic difficulties in Kabul. Local residents stated that the killing appeared aimed at preventing villagers from returning to their homes.

According to local residents, Noorullah experienced severe psychological shock immediately following the attack on his brothers. He subsequently developed physical symptoms, including progressive fever and vomiting blood. After six days of crying and deteriorating health, Noorullah died on November 20, 2025. Local residents reported that while the exact medical cause of death remains undetermined, Noorullah's condition deteriorated rapidly following the traumatic events of November 14. His death represents an indirect casualty connected to the armed attack that killed his eldest brother and left his other brother in critical condition.

- Description of incident
On the afternoon of November 6, 2007, at approximately 4:15 PM, an explosion occurred in Pul-e Khumri, the provincial capital of Baghlan Province. The incident took place during a visit by Afghanistan's Parliamentary Economic Commission, which had traveled to the area to attend the reopening ceremony of the newly reconstructed Baghlan Sugar Factory. According to eyewitness accounts, an individual detonated explosives among a crowd of people who had assembled to greet the parliamentary delegation. The attack resulted in between 70 and 97 fatalities, with casualty figures varying across different reports, and injured nearly 200 individuals. A substantial portion of the victims were school students who had gathered in formation to welcome the government officials. Six members of the National Economy Commission of Afghanistan's Parliament were killed in the attack, including the commission's chairman, Sayed Mustafa Kazimi.

The incident took place during a visit by Afghanistan's Parliamentary Economic Commission, which had traveled to the area to attend the reopening ceremony of the newly reconstructed Baghlan Sugar Factory. According to eyewitness accounts, an individual detonated explosives among a crowd of people who had assembled to greet the parliamentary delegation. The attack resulted in between 70 and 97 fatalities, with casualty figures varying across different reports, and injured nearly 200 individuals. A substantial portion of the victims were school students who had gathered in formation to welcome the government officials. Six members of the National Economy Commission of Afghanistan's Parliament were killed in the attack, including the commission's chairman, Sayed Mustafa Kazimi. The other deceased parliamentarians represented various provinces across Afghanistan, including Takhar, Kunar, Helmand, Kunduz, and Kabul. While it was widely believed that the attack was carried out by a suicide bomber, no group claimed responsibility for the incident. The precise circumstances and motivation behind the attack were never officially confirmed. The general assessment indicated that members of the Afghan Parliament were the primary intended targets of the assault.

بالکل سوخته بود راوی: محرمعلی نبیزاده قربانی: مریم نورزاد زمان حادثه: ۲۳ ثور ۱۳۹۹ مکان حادثه: شهر کابل، دشت برچی، شفاخانه صدبستر بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم از اینکه برای ما وقت دادید یک جهان سپاس و تشکری میکنم از تک تک شما، دوما سلام و درود به روان پاک شهدای افغانستان خصوصا همین سال جاری که یک تعداد زیاد مردم افغانستان به شهادت رسید. خوب، هرچند سخت است واقعاً... <..مکث..> اگر هر وقت که یاد کنیم درد آنقدر زیاد است که به مغز استخوان آدم شاید برسد، حس کند انسان [این درد را] اما باید یاد کنیم روح شهدا باید از ما شاد باشد، نامشان را جاویدان نگاه کنیم چون شهدای نام گم نباشند برای ما، برای مردم افغانستان. بخشش باشد که من اول خود را معرفی نکردم؛ محرمعلی نبیزاده هستم شوهر شهید مریم که در ۲۳ ثور سال جاری (۱۳۹۹) در شفاخانه صد بستر شهید شدند. خوب زیاد وقتتان را نمیگیرم فقط از روز حادثه برای شما یاد میکنم یک چند لحظه مقصد تشکر که وقت میدهید برای ما. من در جریان وظیفه شهید مریم چون ماه مبارک رمضان بود هر روز -خانهٔ ما از شفاخانه زیاد دور نیست، تقریبا در پای پیاده ده/ دوازده دقیقه راه باشد- میرساندم همکاری میکردم، همراهی میکردم تا خود شفاخانه را چون ماه مبارک رمضان بود روزه داشتم دیگه میگفتم یک انرژی برای [انجام] وظیفه برایش داده باشم [که] خسته نشوند. طبق معمول همان روز هم که روز سهشنبه بود ۲۳ ثور او را پیش شفاخانه رساندم، -صبح پانزده کم هفت همانقدرها بود- خدا حافظی کردیم به امید اینکه بعدازظهر باز برای من زنگ میزند باز پشتش بروم، دیگه پس خانه آمدم برای من گفتند که چون عید نزدیک است لباس خود را که گرفتی به خیاطی ببر که دوخته شود. همان روزی که... همان لحظهای که آمدم خانه حدوداً یک ساعت/ یکونیم ساعت گذشت پس رفتم طرف سرک نزدیک شفاخانه که پشت سرک یک جر است در آنجا رسیده بودم که مردم بسیار سراسیمه میدوند طرف خانههای خود بسیار وحشتزده. خوب پرسان کردم چه گپ است؟ گفتند انتحاری داخل شفاخانه شده هیچ کس هم نیست که دفاع کند. خوب واقعا خیلی دردآورد است که در آنجا در شفاخانه بیآزارترین قشر جامعه بودند؛ طفل نوزاد، خانمی که برای ولادت رفته بود یا مریضان و نرس و قابلهای که در آنجا برای خدمت مردم بود برای خدمت به انسانیت؛ یعنی داکتران بدون مرز آنها همین رقم که شعارشان است که بدون مرز هستند، داکتران بدون سرحد برای آنها انسانیت مهم است دیگه هیچ چیزی دیگر ندارند فقط برای انسانیت خدمت میکنند. خوب در آن وقت واقعا دلم تکان خورد چون من همان شناختی که از شهید مریم خانم خود داشتم برای مریض خود بسیار دلسوز بود، گفتم اگر انتحاری داخل شود و اگر در حین تداوی مریض باشد شاید که دیگه... چون خبر داشتم (سیف روم) دارند گفتم شاید سیف روم هم نروند، شاید کنار مریض خود بنشیند واقعا دلم همانجا تکان خورد. خوب رفتم بسیار وحشتزده سون شفاخانه دویدم که... خو متأسفانه نیروهای دولتی هم که به خاطر چک پاینت بودند شاهدهای عینی که قصه میکنند که در آنجا دو سه رنجر بودند، دو تا رنجر بودند که به خاطر وضعیت کرونا موترها را چک میکردند که بیروبار نباشد، آنها فرار کرده بودند در آن صحنه. خوب، مردم بسیار وحشتزده بودند بسیار خشمگین بودند سر نیروهای امنیتی که میگفتند یا ما را سلاح بدهند یا بروند داخل شفاخانه دفاع کنند که آنجا هیچکس برای دفاع نیست. کلش طفل نوزاد است، خانمی که برای ولادت رفته یا مریضانی هستند که در بستر هستند. خوب بودیم همانجا کسانی که مرا دل میدادند میگفتند غصه نکو آنها سیف روم دارند؛ خوب چقدر سیف روم باشد که بسته چند صد نفر را در آنجا، چقدر نفر در سیف روم جای شود. ماندیم تقریبا تا ساعتهای دو بجه یا سه بجه همانجا بودیم روز برای من... هیچ نمیفهمیدم مثل روز قیامت بود برای من. خوب نیروهای امنیتی وقتی گفتند پاکسازی شده تا آن وقت بعض شهدا را، زخمیها را که میکشیدند کمک میشدیم یگانه خواست من این بود که باید اولین کسی که بروم داخل شفاخانه شوم یا زخمی خانم خود را یا که مثلا ده... هرچه باشد من باید زودتر خود را برسانم اما موفق نشدم تا وقتی که نیروهای امنیتی گفتند ما پاکسازی کردیم ساحه را کسی دیگه از انتحاری نمانده شما بروید از پشت سر شفاخانه که آنجا مهمان خانه داکتران بدون سرحد از خارجیها بودند آنجا بروید ما داکتران را از آن طرف بیرون کشیدیم یعنی [در] امن است کلشان صحت دارند چیزی نشده آنها را. متأسفانه آنجا که رفتم نیافتم خانم خود را. همان همکارانشان میگفتند که هستند چون خبر داشتند یا هر رقمی که بود برای دلداری من میگفتند؛ [میگفتند] مریم است ما دیدیم در فلانی سیف روم بود یا همراه من بود خو نیافتمش. من پس آمدم خانه موتر را گرفتم همراه دوستانی که قوم و خویش بود تقسیم شدیم در بسته شفاخانههای کابل تا یازده بجه شب را هر شفاخانه را شاید ما سه دفعه چهار دفعه جستجو کرده باشیم که شاید پیدا شود اما متأسفانه پیدا نشد که در بین راه بودیم یکی از دوستان برای مه زنگ زدند گفت در کجا هستی گفتم طرف شفاخانه میروم باید بپالیم که پیدا شود یا زخمیاش یا هر رقم... خو باید بپالیم که پیدا شود گفتند شما یک بار طب عدلی را بروید سیل کنید چون آنها خبر شده بودند. متأسفانه طب عدلی ساعتهای یازدهونیم بجه شب بود که رفتیم ما در آن وقت سه تا شهید را دیدیم در طب عدلی که از شهدای شفاخانه بودند دیگرانش تعدادشان زیاد بود وارثانشان برده بودند. خوب برای ما گفتند اگر آمادگیاش را دارید داخل سردخانه میبریم شما را نشان میدهیم اگر ندارید نه؛ گفتیم ما مجبور هستیم که باید سیل کنیم. وقتی رفتیم یعنی مه وقتی خانم خود را دیدم نشناختم سه تا شهید بودند که دو تایشان در روی خود مرمی خورده بودند دیگه خانم مه سوخته بود که هیچ نشناختم آن وقت، بالکل سوخته بود. گفتند یکی از داکتران سوخته که دیگرانشان مریض بودند یک تا داکتر سوخته. گفتم نه او مریم نیست. باز آمدیم خانه شب خانه بودیم که نه سحری را فهمیدیم در ماه مبارک رمضان تا صبح را بیدار نشستیم. صبح وقتی که باز دوستان تقسیم شدند کلگی رفتند طرف شفاخانه و حوزه کلگی، ما رفتیم طرف طب عدلی که مادر... پدر شهید مریم خسرم تلفن خود را سیل کرد در فیس بوک یک چیزی را دید که به نام مریم بخاطر مریم یک نفر پُست مانده بود که قابله مریم مریض خود را در عین [حمله] انتحاری رها نکرده دوستانش گفته بروید داخل سیف روم اِی مریض زیر دستش بوده در حال ولادت گفتند که من اگر مریض خود را رها کنم جان میدهد مریضم یعنی بسیار وضع مریضش خوب نبوده. در آن وقت تا این مریض خود را ولادت میدهد طفل را نجات میدهد مادر را نجات میدهد که سیف روم بسته شده وقتی سیف روم بسته شده اِی مریض را نجات میدهد میخواهد که سیف روم برود میبیند که سیف روم بسته است. طرف حویلی که میدوند انتحاری در مغزش، به سرش شلیک کرده بود که همانجا پهلوی موتر افتاده بود باز بالای موتر هم نارنجک انداخته بود موتر که در گرفته بود سوخته بود بالکل. همین پست را که دیدیم بازهم باور نکردم گفتم نه مریم ما زنده است. طب عدلی رفتیم داخل حویلی بودیم که از شفاخانه برای ما زنگ زد دوستان که بیایید یک دفعه پس شفاخانه صدبستر بیایید. گفتم چه شده؟ گفتند با عجله بیاید. ما فکر کردیم که حتما یافت شده مریم شهید نیست زنده است، یافت شده برای ما گفت بیایید عجله بیایید چه میکنید در آنجا. آنجا رفتیم که متأسفانه -آن روز را کاشکی هیچ نمیدیدم- پهلوی موتر سوخته فقط از آثاری که مانده بود موبایل سوخته بود، عینکِ... شیشه عینکهایش مانده بود که چوکاتش بالکل سوخته بود یک تا گوشوارهاش مانده بود که یک تا گوشش... بالکل مغزش سوراخ شده بود مرمی سوراخ کرده بود یعنی آن را که یافتیم گوشواره را دیدم مثلا [شیشه] عینکها را دیدم، موبایل سوخته تنها تختش مانده بود آن وقت فهمیدیم که این سوختهٔ همان شهیدی [است] که شب در طب عدلی دیدیم او خانم من بود. دیگه یعنی واقعا خانم قهرمانی بود که سیف روم... یعنی آدم چه بگوید چه رقم بیان کند من درد خود را اصلا بیان نمیتوانم برای شما. کسی که شهید دیدهاند شاید درک کنند کسی که ندیده آرزو میکنم که این را تجربه نکنند، اِی را جای ما تجربه نکنند مثل مه واری. یعنی در حادثه شفاخانه ما از دو زاویه، دو بعد میبینیم یک طرف نهایت جنایت، یک طرف نهایت کینه ببین طفلی که تازه تولد شده، طفلی که هنوز در شکم مادر خود بود مرمی خورده، طفلی که تازه تولد شده شاهدان عینی میگویند ما وقتی که رفتیم طفل را کشال کرده بود از پایش گرفته بود به دیوار زده بود طفل نوزاد را آنجا یعنی مادرش را با برچه گلویش را بریده بود دیگه او طرف که مریم در صورتیکه در اتاقهای پهلویش مردم مرمی میخورده شهید میشده این بسیار با جسارت بسیار با مهربانی مریض را ولادت میدهد طفلش را نجات میدهد یعنی امیدهایش، اولادهایش در خانه یک طرف اما نجات یک مریض برایش بسیار مهم بود نجات یک انسان یعنی ما میبینیم اگر انسان طرف انسانیت برود واقعا از [مقام] انسانی بالا میرود و به فرشتگی میرسد اگر انسان بد شود از حیوان کرده پستتر [میشود] نام یک حیوان را سرش مانده نمیتوانیم که در آن شفاخانه ما دو زاویه را میبینیم دو جهت را که یک طرف شهید مریم مریض را نجات داده در حین که جانش در خطر بود، امیدهایش بود تمام آرزوهایش باز میفهمید که -ما خوب دیدیم سالها در اینجا ما کلان شدیم در افغانستان متولد شدیم که انتحاری وقتی یک جایی میرود فقط قتل میکند و میکشد- اما او در آن وقت در آن زمان مریض خود را نجات داد، طفل را نجات داد انتحاری آمد همان مادر را همان طفل را و همین داکتری که -مریم که مریض و طفل را نجات داد- اینها را شهید کرد. یعنی این بیانش برای من بسیار این رقم ساده میگویم اگر آن صحنه را مجسم کنید چقدر یک صحنهای است که واقعا دردآور است. تشکر از توجه شما.

- Description of incident
Abdul Latif was in ninth grade when he was called for military service during Dr. Najibullah’s rule. He tried to escape many times but failed. After completing his training, he was sent to the frontline. The last time he fought was in ta battle between the Mujahideen and the government in Paktia Province. A rocket hit their trench during the operation killing and injuring many soldiers. My brother lost his life due to severe head injuries. He was only 22 years old. His death changed everything, but it affected my parents the most. With him, we lost all our hope. My mother lost her sight and grief replaced her happiness until she passed away a few months later.
- Witness/Survivor Statement
Abdul Latif was a kind and hardworking young man and he had only two dreams, first to continue his studies and second to help us, especially my father in providing a better livelihood for the family. We had a difficult life, but Abdul Latif was considered our family’s hope for a brighter future. His promises of a better future after graduation from the engineering faculty always excited my parents. He also encouraged our siblings to continue their studies because that was the only way to a better future. He himself always wanted to be an engineer but was not made to realize his dreams. Abdul Latif was in ninth grade when he was called for military service during Dr. Najibullah’s rule. He tried to escape many times but failed. After completing his training, he was sent to the frontline. The last time he fought was in ta battle between the Mujahideen and the government in Paktia Province. A rocket hit their trench during the operation killing and injuring many soldiers. My brother lost his life due to severe head injuries. He was only 22 years old. His death changed everything, but it affected my parents the most. With him, we lost all our hope. My mother lost her sight and grief replaced her happiness until she passed away a few months later. When Dr. Najibullah’s government collapsed, the Civil War between the Mujahideen groups intensified in Kabul. A rocket hit and destroyed our only home. We lost every single thing we had and had to run for our lives. During the Taliban rule, our only goal was to survive so we left the country in despair and disappointment. Living in refugee camp was no better than the ruins of Kabul but we had to bear it to stay alive. Before joining the military, Abdul Latif assisted my father and provided half of the little income we had. After him, my father protected and supported us until he married us all off. He is now alone, suffering in pain and grief of losing both my brother and my mother. We cannot do anything to heal his grief and remove his sorrows. I just wish this war comes to an end and no other father has to ever bury his loved ones and end up alone.

On September 21, 2024, at approximately 1:00 PM, a group of 17 residents from the small village of Qariwdal in Daykundi province were en route to welcome two fellow villagers returning from a pilgrimage to Karbala, Iraq. As they approached the border area between Daykundi and Ghor provinces, near the small village of Sarpahlu Sang in the Dowlat Yar district of Ghor, they encountered four armed men on motorcycles. The armed individuals identified themselves as security forces [of the Taliban] and assured the group that they were searching for a suspicious person, telling them not to worry. The assailants then instructed the villagers to line up, ostensibly for a commemorative photograph. One attacker began taking photos while another started filming. Without warning, the other two opened fire on the group from both sides. The attack resulted in the immediate deaths of 13 Hazaras, all from the Qariwdal village. Four others were severely wounded. Additionally, a traveler from Palon Sang village in Ghor, who happened to be passing through the area during the shooting, was killed while attempting to flee. The day following the attack, ISIL-Khorasan Province claimed responsibility for the massacre in an official statement.

On September 21, 2024, at approximately 1:00 PM, a group of 17 residents from the small village of Qariwdal in Daykundi province were en route to welcome two fellow villagers returning from a pilgrimage to Karbala, Iraq. As they approached the border area between Daykundi and Ghor provinces, near the small village of Sarpahlu Sang in the Dawlat Yar district of Ghor, they encountered four armed men on motorcycles. The armed individuals identified themselves as security forces [of the Taliban] and assured the group that they were searching for a suspicious person, telling them not to worry. The assailants then instructed the villagers to line up, ostensibly for a commemorative photograph. One attacker began taking photos while another started filming. Without warning, the other two opened fire on the group from both sides. The attack resulted in the immediate deaths of 13 Hazaras, all from the Qariwdal village. Four others were severely wounded. Additionally, a traveler from Palon Sang village in Ghor, who happened to be passing through the area during the shooting, was killed while attempting to flee. The day following the attack, ISIL-Khorasan Province claimed responsibility for the massacre in an official statement.

Around 4:30 p.m. on October 24, 2020, a suicide bomber detonated his explosive device inside the Kawsar-e Danish Educational Center in the western portion of Kabul City's PD-13 neighborhood in the Pol-e-Khoshk district. The educational institute provided coaching for high school students preparing for university entrance exams. This attack resulted in at least 43 students being killed and 72 more being injured. The attack happened in a primarily Hazara neighborhood in Dasht-e-Barch, where the majority of the high school students attending the tuition center were Hazara. The Islamic State of Khorasan Province (IS-KP) claimed responsibility for the attack.
- Witness/Survivor Statement
Narrator: Nasrin Naderi
Victim: Nasrin Naderi
Date of the incident: 24 October 2020
Location of the incident: District 13, Kabul City, Pul-e Khoshk, Dasht-e Barchi, Kausar Danesh Educational Center
In the name of God, I am Nasrin Naderi, the daughter of Mohammad Aman Naderi from Maidan Wardak province, Daymirdad district. I am 18-years-old and have graduated from school. However, due to the coronavirus situation, I have not yet been able to take the university entrance exam. At the moment, I am busy with social activities. Our family resides in Maidan Wardak, but I am in Kabul for my education. We have rented a room here. Due to the lack of facilities and insecurity, we have left our village of Naqshi in the Daimirdad district. Every year, we are attacked by nomadic tribes. I don't know their motive, whether political, ethnic, or otherwise, but we are attacked by them annually. These attacks cause us both human and financial losses. When they occur, all villagers flee to the mountains or elsewhere. Upon returning to their homes, they find their animal supplies and food materials burned, along with their schools and houses. It has been a few years now since my parents left. Initially, they were here with me, but once quarantine was introduced, they returned to Maidan Wardak and have remained there until now. It's been about two years since they left. My father is farming, and I have been here for approximately five or six years.
Unfortunately, I sustained injuries. The first incident took place at Kawsar Danesh in February 2018. Human rights activists certainly know that the incident; it was the first incident that happened to Afghanistan's education center and it had a serious impact on educational programs. In this incident, my hand was wounded by shrapnel. The attacker was carrying a hand grenade, and I was only one or two meters away from him. It was the first time I saw the explosion of a human being with my eyes. No one was killed, but many were wounded, most of them girls because they were sitting in the front row. The second incident happened in 2019. I witnessed an incident at Mauood that impacted heavily on my mental health and I was obliged to take a break from my studies for a year. After Mauood was hit, we lost confidence but we carried on. Once the Kawsar educational center was thriving again, we went back there and enrolled in the preparation course for the university entrance exam. Once again, there was an explosion at Kawsar Danesh alley last year in the fall. I don't recall the incident accurately; I think it was on the 29th of October. We were in the alley, and I was injured in the back by shrapnel. It penetrated deeply and reached close to my spinal cord. Due to the serious risk, the doctors in Kabul did not want to take responsibility for such a complex operation. A neurologist was needed, an expert in such surgery, but there was no such person.
Unfortunately, due to financial constraints and my father's self-employment as a farmer or street vendor, we've been unable to afford the expenses of surgery in private hospitals or seek medical treatment outside Afghanistan. Walking poses significant challenges for me. Every few steps I take, the wound area becomes bruised, leading to subsequent internal bleeding. Although the doctors have extracted the shrapnel, my injuries persist. The damage is situated on my spine, suggesting severe internal trauma. The shrapnel was only removed from my body about fifteen or sixteen days after the incident, by which time it had shifted 15 millimeters. I'm enduring immense suffering as a result of this ordeal. Despite being a victim, I reject such a label; I am averse to the term 'victim.' In my view, no one is a victim if they possess the determination and resolve to fight. I am committed to ensuring that no one else experiences the pain and suffering I have endured.
Perhaps I lack all the details; even if I once knew them, they've slipped from my memory. It was around 4:00 pm when our class was dismissed, and we were on our way to a chemistry session when the explosion rocked the alley. Our class at Kausar is large; at least 800 students attend. As we moved to another class, my friend Shukria Hussaini and I were reviewing our lessons when we noticed a young boy carrying a large sport shoulder bag, a rare sight given the center's rules. Another institution, Afghan IT, shared the same alley, so we didn't find his presence suspicious. Despite what we'd been taught about the signs of a suicide bomber, we saw no indication of such in him. My friend nudged me, pointing out the boy's bag size. When I turned, dust and smoke filled the air. Though close, we heard no sound, only saw blood everywhere, and people covered in it calling for aid. It was terrifying. I realized my clothes were drenched in blood, my fresh wound throbbing. Shukria had passed out, and I felt paralyzed, unsure of what action to take. I'm uncertain who transported me or how I reached home, or who relayed the news. When I came to, we were at Dar al-Salam hospital, where I spent days. With no adequate medical facilities, my condition worsened. The shrapnel had caused intense bleeding at the back of my head. Though it wasn't a major blood vessel, the risk was severe.
I hope to survive these adversities faced at such a young age. By international standards, we're still children. Let's transform these hardships into energy for our ambition, refusing to succumb to despair or isolation. We shouldn't see ourselves as just victims of Afghan conflict. Instead, let's aspire to compete globally in science and art.
Well, as I mentioned before, not all my classmates were close friends. It is difficult to have close friends in a classroom with 800 students. I loved all of them; we raised our voices together, studied together to understand derivative and integral and electric currents. There was only one friend whose death hit me hard, Miss Maleka Ibrahimi. I was truly hurt by losing her. She was a girl with beautiful political and economic ideas; a lady whose loss you can not ignore. We didn't spend much time together but looking at our strong friendship, it hurts to have lost her. I lost another friend in 2017 in Mauood, Miss Rahela. Miss Rahela and I were in the same English class; we completed our English course together and we attended other courses together. Rahela was determined to take the entrance exam. Since I lost them, I have tried to forget them, but it's difficult. You can’t forget such individuals. Losing such talents is a great loss for society.

'The Killing of AGSA' refers to the collective murder of opponents of the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan between 1978 and 1979, in the Pul-e-Charkhi Prison in Kabul. The Afghan Intelligence Office, or AGSA (Afghan Agency for Safeguarding National Interest), led by Asadullah Sarwari, had arrested nearly 150,000 people, out of which an estimated 27,000 political prisoners were put to death without a single trial, probe, or even allegation. Many Afghan families had no idea where their loved ones had disappeared to. A list of those slain, including 5,000 victims of AGSA mass executions, was made public by the Dutch Prosecutor's Office in 2013.
Mohammad Asghar was arrested in Panjshir Province in late 1978 and taken to Pul-e-Charkhi prison. He has not been seen since then.

- Witness/Survivor Statement
The Story of Rahmatullah Safi (son)
Victim’s Name: Lal Jan
Date of Incident: 1979
Place of Incident: Khost Province
My name is Rahmatulalh. Lal Jan was my father. I was born in 1976, three years before he disappeared. We are from the village of Qala-e-Tak in the Shiwa District of Nangarhar Province. My father was born in 1947 and finished his primary school at Said Jamaluddin High School. Due to severe poverty, he could not continue high school so he joined the Military School to earn a livelihood for the family. He became junior officer and started working with the army. In 1965, he was sent to Khost Division where he worked until he disappeared 14 years later in 1979.
He was a critic of the People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan and denounced the regime for torturing and killing innocent civilians and political opponents. One day, after he had finished his prayers and left the mosque, my father was arrested by AGSA agents waiting outside the mosque. We waited until late at night for his return. In the early morning, my grandfather went to the Division to find out more, but there was no sign of him. We had to leave Khost and return to the Shiwa District in the Province of Nangarhar. My grandfather went to Kabul. He visited officials in the Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Defense, and the AGSA to find my father, but failed. He tried all viable options and sought help from the PDPA officials but it didn’t work.
My father was 32-years-old, the only son, and the greatest supporter of our family. After he disappeared, we sold our ten acres of agricultural land to keep searching for him and to provide a living for the family. We had nothing left after that and struggled with extreme poverty as we were merely children. My grandfather could not accept his son’s death; he kept waiting for him until his last breath. Extreme poverty and the absence of our father also profoundly affected my two younger brothers. Due to economic and psychological pressures, they lost their patience and became mentally ill. They would always ask about him and suffered from having to live a destitute and starving life. My mother got depressed and ill after my father’s disappearance and suffered terribly from seeing our situation.
I added my father’s remaining belongings to the Memory Box to keep his memories alive and to let everyone know that killing the father in a family is actually no less than massacring the entire family.

Victims’ Names: Zarkhan and Gulab (Khawazak) Ahmadzai
Date of Incident: 1979
Place of Incident: Zayd-Abad, Mohammad Agha District, Logar Province
I was only six-months-old when my father and uncle were arrested by the People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan Regime. One night, AGSA agents attacked our home and took away my father and uncle. They were accused of being Maoist and Akhwani (Muslim Brotherhood) members. My father was a nurse and my uncle was just a farmer. Both had no political affiliations. Since there was no evidence or proof against them, we were hopeful they would be released within days. Only six years had passed from my parents’ wedding when my father disappeared.
To prevent any further arrests, my grandfather and uncle avoided taking food or clothes to my father and uncle. They sent my youngest uncle instead. The last time my uncle visited them at the Logar Detention Center, my father had explained that they will be transferred to Kabul for further investigation and would be released after a few days. Unfortunately, when they were transferred to Kabul, after eight days they disappeared forever. My uncle was 45 and my father was only 33-years-old. After my father disappeared, my mother started working as a tailor to support us. She never married again, waiting for my father’s return and taking care of us. My eldest sister was 5-years-old, I was six-months-old, and my youngest sister was born only six months after my father disappeared. My maternal uncle helped a lot in the process and never gave up on us until we grew up.
To save my uncles from a similar fate, my grandfather took us to Pakistan. My uncle had left behind four children and we used to live together until nine years ago when we separated into two families. For 35 years, we lived in Pakistan. We suffered and struggled just to get daily food. Despite ongoing conflicts and continuing insecurity, we had to return to Afghanistan in 2013. Just a few months after our return, I heard that the Kingdom of the Netherlands had published a list of 5,000 victims executed by the PDPA regime between 1978 and 1979. I unfortunately found my uncle and father’s names on the list. I felt like I had lost my father all over again; the little hope we had for their return was shattered forever. But I had to stay strong to support and protect my mother, who waited for almost 40 years for my father to return alive. In order to remember and revive their memories, I went to the Polygon area where their bodies are possibly buried in mass graves.
I added a few of their remaining belongings to the Memory Box to keep their memories alive and to let everyone know that we will never be able to forget our loved ones who disappeared and were killed by blind violence and political rivalry between just a few groups or individuals.

The Story of Asif Malistani (son)
Victim’s Name: Abdul-Qayum Malistani
Date of Incident: 1979
Place of Incident: Pul-e-Charkhi, Kabul
My father disappeared in April 1979. He was working with the Department of Disaster Prevention when he was arrested by the Communist Regime. Since then, we do not know whether he is alive or dead. Until 1966, my father lived in Malistan. He studied Islamic Theology and Sharia there and had handwritten a famous Shiite epic poetry book called Hamla-e-Haidari. He completed his military service in 1966 and then moved to Kabul with his family. Since he was educated, he was hired as junior staff at the Ministry of Defense. In 1973, he was transferred to the Department of Disaster Prevention where he had to travel to Zabul, Farah and other provinces to report on the situation of homeless and poor families.
In April 1978, the Saur Revolution occurred and in early 1979, my father was arrested. I was still a child and could not understand the political and social situation, so I do not remember much but my elder brother still remembers the incident in detail. I just remember that we were living in Khushhal Khan area (PD-5). One day, around 12:00 noon, one of my friends whom I met on the street told me that my father had gone to Mazar-e-Sharif in Balkh Province. I was surprised and did not understand why he would have left so suddenly and without informing us. Once home, I felt the situation was different from normal. My family was consulting each other on whether or not they should listen to BBC Radio, as it could have been considered a crime by the regime. The People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) hated the broadcasting corporation and could warrant arrests or even eliminate those identified as listening to the radio. I then realized that my father was taken by the PDPA intelligence service.
My family did everything to find information and searched through every possibility. They went to the Ministry of Interior Affairs, the Pul-e-Charkhi Prison and Detention Center, and many other places to find him but he was nowhere to be found. We suffered a lot because we had no one to support us. Despite being a child, I had to work after school. I used to make and sell paper bags in Kabul’s streets, earning just 40 cents per day. It took many years for my brother to finish his military service and go to Pakistan where he joined an NGO working for Afghan refugees. Together, it was easier to support the family. With the onset of the civil war in Kabul between Mujahideen groups, we had to leave Kabul and go back to Malistan, where we lived for almost 20 years. In 2010, we were able to come back to Kabul. I hope the day never comes that we become displaced again and leave everything behind.
From the day my father was arrested, I have many unanswered questions. Where is my father? Why was he arrested? What was his crime or fault? Who is responsible or accountable for such countless massacres and disappearances? Whenever I visit the Polygon area of Pul-e-Charkhi Prison, I ask myself whether my father is among the thousands who were executed there for no reason.

Dte of event: April 30, 2018
Place of Incident: Shashdarak, Kabul
On April 30, 2018, I lost my 58-year-old husband. It happened just a few weeks after he had been recruited as a driver for the Afghanistan National Radio and Television. On the day of the incident, my daughter and I were at home. In the morning, I called him many times, but he did not pick up his phone. I switched the T.V. on and learned that a suicide attack had happened in Shashdarak area. I was worried so I called him again. Everyone in the family kept calling him but no one picked up. Later, his brother called us from Wazir Akbar Khan Hospital and informed us that Abedin had been killed in the suicide attack.
I will never be able to forget that day. Everyone among the family and relatives gathered for the funeral and shared their condolences. Abedin was buried in Kolangar Village of Logar Province where he was born. As a young man, he had finished his school but was unable to attend university due to poverty and lack of support. I was only 18-years-old when we got married. Abedin was kind and caring. We loved each other and we lived together for 15 years. In that time, we made of a lot of good memories. We have a daughter together, Hasana, who is now studying third grade at school. Hasana cried for three months asking for her father.
His death took our happiness away. Without him life is hard, as I did not just lose my husband but also our only breadwinner. I went through difficult times and faced numerous problems. We were living in Khair Khanna when he was alive but had to move to Chehil Sutun to live with my uncle’s family. I had to work to support my only daughter.
According to our traditions, I had to give my husband’s belongings to charity. I added the very few remaining objects to the Memory Box to keep his memories alive. There is no law to punish those who kill innocents. I only pray to God to do justice and punish them for their crimes.

Abdul Jalil was only 38-years-old when he was killed. He had gotten married just a few years back and left behind his young wife and a three-year-old son who are now living with us. His wife is now suffering from depression since his death. Abdul Jalil was the only breadwinner of his family. I do everything I can to take care of and protect his son but he still feels his father’s absence. The older he gets, the more he feels the void. It will probably take him a very long time to accept his father’s death. I will always try to help and support them, but I don’t think I will ever be able to fill Abdul Jalil’s empty place. His death and absence will never be forgotten.

Victim’s Name: Rabb Khan
Date of the Incident: August 7, 2015
Place of the Incident: Sarai Ahmadzai, Shah Shaheed, Kabul
We lost our mother when we were very little. My father was a kind, supportive, and caring man. He struggled a lot to provide us with a living and to make us not feel our mother’s absence. Unfortunately, after three years of hard work, his legs were paralyzed. Despite my brother doing all he could for his treatment and taking him to Pakistan with borrowed money, he did not recover and passed away in Pakistan.
My brother Rabb Khan, who was only 16-years-old, had to take over my father’s job as a night guard in Shah Shaheed area to take care of us. He would guard the market from early morning to 1:00pm every day and then his assistant would take over.
One day, after finishing his shift, he returned to his room when a huge explosion occurred and destroyed the entire market. His assistant said that he had been blown away and everything had gone dark. When he returned to the building to look for Rab Khan and his guest in the room, he found them both dead because the entire building had crumbled into dust.
I felt very sad that night and could not sleep until very late. I only came to know the next day that Rabb Khan had been killed in what was a suicide attack. I felt like the world had ended for me; everything had turned grey and I could not stand on my feet. But I had to stay strong to take care of my nine younger siblings. Since there was no better job out there, I had to continue and replace my late brother in his job. I bore the anger, difficulties, and misbehaviors of others or else my family would go hungry.
My brother was only 22-years-old when he was killed. I added his remaining belongings to the Memory Box to keep his memories alive and to let everyone know that war destroys families and that by killing their breadwinners, it kills the entire family.

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.

Date of Incident: August 7, 2015
Place of Incident: Sarai Ahmadzai, Shah Shahid, Kabul
I lost my brother, Abdul Mateen, and nephew, Shirin Agha, in the Shah Shahid incident on 7 August 2015. At the age of 32 and 23-years-old, they were both the only breadwinners of their families. They had rented a room in Sarai Ahmadzai to be able to work and live in Kabul. Mateen was married and had two daughters of fourteen and eight-years-old. Shirin Agha was working with the Afghan National Army and due to the work load, had not been able to visit his mother and two sisters for a very long time. As he finally got some free time during the first weekend after Eid, he decided to visit his uncle on the Thursday, his family on Friday, and then get back to work on Saturday.
Unfortunately, his plans were left unfulfilled. 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.

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.
Finally, Mateen’s body was found in the NDS Hospital and Shirin Agha’s body was found in Wazir Akbar Khan Hospital. Shirin Agha was working with the Ministry of Defense so his body was taken to Sardar Dawood Khan Military Hospital and then delivered to us. My nephew was appreciated for his work with the Afghan Military but we did not even get a mere condolence message for losing Mateen. The government has disappointed and failed us not only in preventing violence and terror, but also in supporting and caring for the victims.
With them, we buried part of our lives and happiness. I added the few objects they left behind to the Memory Box to let their memories live for longer and to let others know how war and violence is killing and destroying.

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.

The Stories of Del Agha (brother)
Victims’ Names: Abdul Mateen and Shirin Agha
Date of Incident: August 7, 2015
Place of Incident: Sarai Ahmadzai, Shah Shahid, Kabul
I lost my brother, Abdul Mateen, and nephew, Shirin Agha, in the Shah Shahid incident on 7 August 2015. At the age of 32 and 23-years-old, they were both the only breadwinners of their families. They had rented a room in Sarai Ahmadzai to be able to work and live in Kabul. Mateen was married and had two daughters of fourteen and eight-years-old. Shirin Agha was working with the Afghan National Army and due to the work load, had not been able to visit his mother and two sisters for a very long time. As he finally got some free time during the first weekend after Eid, he decided to visit his uncle on the Thursday, his family on Friday, and then get back to work on Saturday.
Unfortunately, his plans were left unfulfilled. 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.
Finally, Mateen’s body was found in the NDS Hospital and Shirin Agha’s body was found in Wazir Akbar Khan Hospital. Shirin Agha was working with the Ministry of Defense so his body was taken to Sardar Dawood Khan Military Hospital and then delivered to us. My nephew was appreciated for his work with the Afghan Military but we did not even get a mere condolence message for losing Mateen. The government has disappointed and failed us not only in preventing violence and terror, but also in supporting and caring for the victims.
With them, we buried part of our lives and happiness. I added the few objects they left behind to the Memory Box to let their memories live for longer and to let others know how war and violence is killing and destroying.

Victim’s Name: Mohammad Taher
Date of Incident: 2001-2013
Place of Incident: Maidan Wardak
My husband was shot dead five years ago during the Karzai government. He couldn’t work alone due to sickness, so he decided to work with his cousin in Ghazni Province. On the way, in Maidan Wardak, their vehicle was attacked by the Taliban and he was shot in the head. When they brought his body, I could not bring myself to see his face. I only saw his blood-soaked coffin.
He was a daily laborer so he somehow managed to relieve me of the breadwinning burden. Once he was gone, I had to bear all the sadness and misery of life, as well as make a living for my three children who were just three, one-year-old, and the last was born after his father was martyred.
We are currently living in an old rented house. It scares me but there is nothing I can do about it. I have suffered worse in my life. I lost my father and my younger brother when I was just a teenager. When I got married, I lost my father and brothers in-law during Dr. Najibullah’s rule. I do not know whom I should tell about the loss of my loved ones and ask for help. We are living in severe poverty but no one has ever asked about our living conditions, even though it is unrealistic to expect any help for the widows or orphans in this society.

Victims’ Names: Mohammad Sadiq and Saima
Date of Incident: April 21, 2015
Place of Incident: Darulaman Road, Kabul
I was at home when the explosion occurred. Muhammad Sadiq was swinging when his sister asked him to get her children from school. As they were walking on the pavement, Sadiq noticed a truck carrying six big gas containers getting closer. A few meters after the truck passed them, it turned toward the old parliament building and exploded. The explosives attached to the gas canisters killed and injured dozens of people. Saima’s hand and leg were cut off and we couldn’t find her leg. The shrapnel had pierced her younger brother’s abdomen, extruding his intestines and kidney. Mohammad Sadiq had pushed his nephew in the street gutter to save his life. He then managed to walk to a blacksmith and asked him to take his nephew out of the gutter. Though Sadiq lost his life due to major burns, he saved his nephew’s life that day.
I took them to Istiqlal Hospital. My son, Sadiq, was transferred to the burn injuries section and my grandson was in my arms as I held his kidney and intestines in my hand. First the doctors refused to admit him, but when he opened his eyes and started moaning, they realized he was alive and took him to the emergency section for surgery. The surgery took three days to complete. When we took my son and nephew to the hospital, we found Saima missing. Everyone started looking for her until we found her body in the Forensic Medicine Department. It was difficult to identify her because her entire body had been burned and injured by shrapnel. One of her legs had been cut off, which we never found.
My son was alive for five days but had difficulty breathing because of major burns. When we were at the mosque for Saima’s funeral, Sadiq passed away in the hospital. We buried Sadiq on the 5th of Ramadan, just a few days after Saima. He was only 27-years-old when he was killed. He was our only breadwinner and was working as a freelance tailor. He used to buy fabrics to sew clothes and distribute in the market. He was married and left behind a daughter and a young wife who are now living with us. I gave his belongings to charity but left a few objects which I have decided to add to the Memory Box to keep his memories alive.

Victim’s Name: Abdul Hashim
Place of Incident: Siasang Shah Shahid, Ahmadzai Market, Kabul
Date of Incident: 06 August 2015
Abdul Hashim was only 23 when he was killed. He was my son in-law, but he was much more than that to me. I had raised him after he lost his mother in childhood. He was my son too. I did all that I could to raise him to be a good and useful person in our society. He was a calm, peaceful, and faithful person. On the night of the incident, he finished work and went to a wedding he was invited to, where he was until midnight. At the exact moment he returned to his home at the Ahmadzai market to sleep, a suicide-bomber detonated his truck at a nearby army camp. It destroyed the entire market. Hashim was killed, along with 14 others. More than 280 people were injured in this incident.
When Hashim was killed, I had to take care of my daughter and her two-year-old child. I also have to support my widowed sister, who is living in a tent in my backyard with her children, and I support my mother. They have no one else to protect or to support them. Whatever I earn, I share with everyone at home so that we can survive. We are all suffering.
My daughter has had mental disorders since her husband was killed. She is always sad, and she is suffering from anemia. She and her child live a hard life. I do all I can for them, but I have little to offer as I was disabled during the civil war in 1993.
The government has done nothing for us despite the fact that I went to different government offices for support. I asked them to come and visit my home to see the conditions of the victims’ families, but no one from the government ever bothered to come and check. It is disappointing.

Shortly after, the gate was opened and a body was brought out on a footstool. I thought that someone had fainted but it was Hedayat’s body. I began to scream and curse at everyone and threw away my chadari. I was totally out of my mind.

A Story of Never Ending Pain
Narrator: Nargis
Victim’s Name: Sakhidad Hedayat
Date of Incident: November 22, 1999
Location of the Incident: Kabul City
If there had been no war, Nargis could have been one of the happiest women on earth. She is a strong and good woman, full of courage and determination. In spite of all the difficulties that she has faced, she always has a smile on her lips. At the same time, she is dejected and disillusioned by all the things that happened to her over the years: successive displacements, homelessness, and most of all, the death of her husband, Sakhidad. When the Taliban arrested him, she was forced to sell her house in order to bribe the Taliban to release Sakhidad, but all she received in return was his dead body. She alone had to transport the corpse all the way from the eastern part of Kabul to Dasht-e-Barchi. Since then, her life seems like a never ending journey of suffering, in which Nargis plays the role of both father and mother for her five children for whom she hopes that a better tomorrow will eventually arrive.
The Story of Nargis
My name is Nargis and I am 40-years-old. I live in Dasht-e-Barchi. I am originally from Bamyan Province. When we lived in Bamyan, we had a decent life as my father in-law had a great deal of land. My husband Sakhidad, known as Hedayat, was the only son of his family. When the Taliban attacked Bamyan, they looted our properties and we were displaced to Kabul. We had to walk all the way and my youngest child was only 40-days-old. Once in Kabul, my husband opened a shop in Sar-e Kariz. However, some people did not like my husband and reported to the Taliban that he was a member of the opposition.
The Taliban came and arrested him in May 2000. When we learned that he had been arrested, my cousin searched everywhere but could not find him. After four days, we came to learn that he had been detained in Department No. 11 but that no one was allowed to meet him. He was first taken to the Intelligence Department and then to Department No. 6 where he was detained for six months.
We know that the Taliban tortured him daily without giving him any food. When my cousin tried to deliver food for him, he was not allowed to meet my husband.
One day, I was sitting at home when my cousin came. It was early morning and I was very worried that something might have happened to Hedayat. When I saw him, I was full of fear because he usually did not visit us in the morning. He held a letter in his hand and told me not to worry. He said that Hedayat had sent a letter through the ICRC and that we were now ensured that he was alive and where he was held captive.
After a great deal of effort, I found out that Mawlawi Abdul Haq was the director of Department No. 3. I asked him to give me permission to visit Hedayat in prison and after paying him a huge amount of money, he allowed me to meet my husband. From then on, every two weeks my youngest son and I visited him in prison, even though sometimes the Taliban made excuses and denied us entry. Every time we went to the prison, I prayed to be granted permission to see my husband. Every time I went to see him, I had to walk all the way from Cinema Pamir to Department No. 3 with my child in my arms and food and clothes in my hands, hoping to meet my husband. Every time I saw him, he gave me little gifts for the children.
Hedayat was imprisoned there for six months. Then we were told that they would release him in exchange for 350,000 Afghani. I did my best to find the money. I sold our house. I borrowed money from my brother and took money from people, promising to pay the money back with interest. I finally gathered the money and paid the authorities. They promised to release him the following Sunday, but several Sundays passed without his release. After forty days, I went there again and asked two guards, Shah Wali and Mudir Abdurraham, whether Hedayat would be released today. They said that they did know now and asked me to wait.
Shortly after, the gate was opened and a body was brought out on a footstool. I thought that someone had fainted but it was Hedayat’s body. I began to scream and curse at everyone and threw away my chadari. I was totally out of my mind.
I was running around like mad until I found a taxi. I told the taxi driver to take us home. He accepted and put my husband’s body inside the car. When my brothers saw me in the car, they thought that Hedayat had been released. They all came to my home. I told them that the Taliban had informed me that Hedayat was dead but I still thought that he might be unconscious.
I asked my brothers to fetch a doctor. He eventually came and said that Hedayat had passed away a long time ago. We then buried him in Tap-e Shuhada.
When my husband died, he was 33-years-old and I was 28. We had nothing left at home as I had sold everything to pay for the release of Hedayat. We had five children and my oldest son was only 10-years-old, with the youngest no older than 8 months. After my husband’s death, we had a very hard life. No one helped us. We lived in a tent as no one was willing to rent out his home to a widowed woman. I was indebted and the government did nothing to address my suffering.
Today, no one listens to our stories of sadness. I voted for Karzai to help the victims’ families but he has done nothing so far. I also voted during the parliamentary elections, hoping that the Members of Parliament would do something for us but they have not done anything either. As soon as they reach a position of power, they forget us. They just make vague promises and then do nothing. No official has ever asked us about our problems or listened to us.
Earlier, I used to receive 300 Afghani. This year, they have removed the names of my sons from the list of beneficiaries.
My husband’s most valuable souvenirs are his five children. The most important object that he left for us is his blanket. It is the same blanket with which we covered his coffin. Another object is the letter that he sent us from prison, as well as some gifts that he had given us. Most importantly, I have kept the veil that he gave me for our wedding ceremony. Finally, there are some photos and clothes of him that help me to always remember him.
I have included these objects in my Memory Box so as to make my husband’s memory live forever. I wanted to share his story with the wider public. I also hope that in the future, the government will use these objects to build a museum so that the people become aware of the pain and suffering our county has endured, and to finally learn how to live in peace.

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.

Date of the incident: 1992-1996 (Estimated)
Location of the incident: Kabul City and Logar
War is full of irrationality. It causes deep injuries to the hearts of mothers and fathers, and makes them eternally grieve for their lost children. It takes away a happy and prosperous life and replaces it with pain and suffering. Afghanistan is the country of pain, torment, and injustice. Its people have become prisoners of the inhumane logic of violence. Here, horrendous atrocities have occurred one after another for many years in every corner of this country, subsequently breaking the spirit of its population and causing serious, unhealed wounds in people’s hearts. With every day that passes, more people lose their lives while the hope for a better future dies a painful death. Why is this happening to this beautiful country? The secret of this puzzle is yet to be found and the dark cloud that has cast its shadow over the population has yet to be removed.
The story of war in Afghanistan is the story of pain and suffering. One of the people who understands this intimately is Mah Jan. She is the perfect image of a war victim. She has lost everything and her mind is like an archive of the endless suffering of the Afghan people. An archive as thick as an encyclopedia that contains every existing story of war ever told.
Mah Jan could be considered the perfect and complete Afghan. She has experienced it all. Only people like her know exactly what tragedy means and what kind of life war brings about. Only people like her can distinguish whether war is something good or bad. She is the face of the Afghan people. She hardly speaks about her pain because she does not trust anyone is interested in listening to her. However, in the few moments when she does speak out, it is not just words that come out. Mah Jan takes you to another world where the word loses its intermediate role. She makes you encounter the naked truth. The words in her mouth lose their verbal nature and her entire body speaks with you. Her face of sadness reveals all the hidden secrets. There is not even a need for her to open her mouth. Her facial lines and languished hands, her hollowed eyes and crushed spirit, they all speak to you. She speaks in thousands of languages to tell you about her pain. The words are limited exclusively to express her suffering.
Her disturbed soul does not fit into the framework of words. In her speech, words do not connote any meaning beyond their most basic implications. Her story resembles the metaphor of the ‘speechless dreamer and the deaf.’ Neither is she capable of communicating her painful story nor do we have the ability to truly absorb it.
The Story of Mah Jan
My name is Mah Jan. During the war, I lost two of my sons, my husband, my brother in-law and a number of my cousins. I lost everything. I was living in Chehil Sutun, Kabul. Later we were displaced to Logar and Khair Kahan. We could not afford to leave the country. One of my sons was killed in Chehil Sutun and the other one in Logar Province. I had not seen the latter for three years when I was finally told to go to Logar to see him. I was taken to a cemetery and informed that my son was buried there. As I could not afford to transfer his body to another graveyard, I accepted for him to remain there.
My first son, Abdurrafi, was killed in 1997 and the second one was killed the following year. When I came back from Logar, we first moved to Shiwaki but later we returned to my home in Chehil Sutun, as I loved my home. When we moved back, we saw that nothing was left. Everything had been taken including the doors and windows. Apparently, the people from the checkpoint took them. It was during the Taliban time. One day, I decided to clean the home. I had yet to finish my cleaning when a rocket landed. I became worried about my son as I had just sent him out to buy some things. A few minutes later, my neighbor came and told me that my son had been injured and that I should go to the hospital. It was in the afternoon. I saw my older son on the street and he asked me what had happened. I told him that Abdul Wahid had been injured. He began to cry and the two of us went to the hospital in Allawoddin. As we entered the main corridor of the hospital, I saw a dead body. I stopped and uncovered his face. His shoes were placed under his head. I realized that it was my son. I cleaned his blood with my chadari and we took him home. It was late afternoon. The whole night I cried and cried. I lost two of my sons. Two months later my brother in-law was killed in Ghazni. He was working there. My husband buried his sons and brother. He was going every now and then to cry over their graves until he got paralyzed. For six years he could not move until he finally died. I took care of him. I washed him two times a week and gave him food every day. I lost two of my sons, my husband, and my brother in-law. A widowed woman married my third son and then they disappeared.
I never saw him again. I now have only one son with whom I currently live. He has a shop. Every day he works hard to feed us. I used to work in other people’s homes as cleaner and caretaker. I did all kind of work to support my family. My first son was 18 or 19-year-old when he was killed. The second was only 16-years-old. The younger one used to work in a shop and sometimes he collected food from the trash cans and brought it home for us to eat. After coming back to our home, we used to live in a home without doors and windows. We were in Chehil Sutun when the war intensified. There were checkpoints everywhere. Therefore, we went to Shiwaki.
My situation further deteriorated when my husband was handicapped after he suffered a paralysis. In his last days, I swear to God that we had nothing to eat. Once I cleaned the flour bag and prepared some bread for him. I mixed it with oil and put in his mouth. Now there are three people left in our home, my son, my daughter, and myself.
There are very few things left behind from my sons. An old shoe from my older son, which is very valuable to me. I have also kept his hat. One of my sons did not even have proper clothes. I am not lying. When he was killed, I bought 7 meters of fabric to cover his body. I took it everywhere but no one accepted to sew it. His clothes were full of blood. When the people took it, he was totally naked.

The words are limited exclusively to express her suffering.
Her disturbed soul does not fit into the framework of words. In her speech, words do not connote any meaning beyond their most basic implications. Her story resembles the metaphor of the ‘speechless dreamer and the deaf.’ Neither is she capable of communicating her painful story nor do we have the ability to truly absorb it.
The Story of Mah Jan
My name is Mah Jan. During the war, I lost two of my sons, my husband, my brother in-law and a number of my cousins. I lost everything. I was living in Chehil Sutun, Kabul. Later we were displaced to Logar and Khair Kahan. We could not afford to leave the country. One of my sons was killed in Chehil Sutun and the other one in Logar Province. I had not seen the latter for three years when I was finally told to go to Logar to see him. I was taken to a cemetery and informed that my son was buried there. As I could not afford to transfer his body to another graveyard, I accepted for him to remain there.
My first son, Abdurrafi, was killed in 1997 and the second one was killed the following year. When I came back from Logar, we first moved to Shiwaki but later we returned to my home in Chehil Sutun, as I loved my home. When we moved back, we saw that nothing was left. Everything had been taken including the doors and windows. Apparently, the people from the checkpoint took them. It was during the Taliban time. One day, I decided to clean the home. I had yet to finish my cleaning when a rocket landed. I became worried about my son as I had just sent him out to buy some things. A few minutes later, my neighbor came and told me that my son had been injured and that I should go to the hospital. It was in the afternoon. I saw my older son on the street and he asked me what had happened. I told him that Abdul Wahid had been injured. He began to cry and the two of us went to the hospital in Allawoddin. As we entered the main corridor of the hospital, I saw a dead body. I stopped and uncovered his face. His shoes were placed under his head. I realized that it was my son. I cleaned his blood with my chadari and we took him home. It was late afternoon. The whole night I cried and cried. I lost two of my sons. Two months later my brother in-law was killed in Ghazni. He was working there. My husband buried his sons and brother. He was going every now and then to cry over their graves until he got paralyzed. For six years he could not move until he finally died. I took care of him. I washed him two times a week and gave him food every day. I lost two of my sons, my husband, and my brother in-law. A widowed woman married my third son and then they disappeared.
I never saw him again. I now have only one son with whom I currently live. He has a shop. Every day he works hard to feed us. I used to work in other people’s homes as cleaner and caretaker. I did all kind of work to support my family. My first son was 18 or 19-year-old when he was killed. The second was only 16-years-old. The younger one used to work in a shop and sometimes he collected food from the trash cans and brought it home for us to eat. After coming back to our home, we used to live in a home without doors and windows. We were in Chehil Sutun when the war intensified. There were checkpoints everywhere. Therefore, we went to Shiwaki.
My situation further deteriorated when my husband was handicapped after he suffered a paralysis. In his last days, I swear to God that we had nothing to eat. Once I cleaned the flour bag and prepared some bread for him. I mixed it with oil and put in his mouth. Now there are three people left in our home, my son, my daughter, and myself.
There are very few things left behind from my sons. An old shoe from my older son, which is very valuable to me. I have also kept his hat. One of my sons did not even have proper clothes. I am not lying. When he was killed, I bought 7 meters of fabric to cover his body. I took it everywhere but no one accepted to sew it. His clothes were full of blood. When the people took it, he was totally naked.

About Crime and Punishment
Narrator: Mah Parwar
Victim: Mohammad Shafi
Date of the incident: 1992-1996
Location of the incident: Kajsher, Jalalabad, Nangarhar
The nature of war is inherently unjust, unequal, and unfair. In war, one of the most problematic relationships is between crime and punishment. More often than not, people are punished without having committed any crime while those who took part in crimes are never called to account.
This sad fact is clear to almost everyone in Afghanistan and there is no need to consult the books of history to prove this. The destruction of Kabul city and the suffering of its residents are overwhelmingly evident even today, with both victims and perpetrators living side by side in this city formerly praised by kings and emperors for its immense beauty.
The truth is that committing crimes in Afghanistan has been a deeply rewarding endeavor, generally resulting in higher social status and admiration, effectively transforming the war criminal into a hero to be revered.
Committing crimes brings more wealth and prosperity. On the other hand, there are people who have been punished in spite of their innocence. It is a paradox. The ones who kill and create pain and destruction enjoy better, more affluent lives, proudly posing in their mansions full of expensive luxuries. The ones who have committed no crimes live under the bridge, on the streets, or in the ruins of their former homes, their children begging for a piece of bread. There are thousands of such stories, with many more secrets hiding under the broken skin of this decaying city. Each of those secrets tells a part of the “unjust situation”.
One of the most obvious examples of this “unjust situation” is the story of Mohammad Shafi. He is a person who quit his studies due to poverty and was forced to work in order to support his family. One day, he was killed on the way to Jalalabad without any apparent reason. Today, the death of Shafi remains a mystery to his family. What they know is that Shafi had nothing to do with other people’s dirty business. On the contrary, he was busy trying to put food on the table for his family when unknown people took him out of a vehicle on his way to Jalalabad. Shortly after, his dead body was sent home to his family. What crime did Shafi commit? What was he punished for? How long shall these forms of arbitrary punishment continue in the capital of Afghanistan? These are the questions that the people of this city ask themselves day after day.
So far, not one person in power has felt the need to answer these simple questions. In the meantime, crimes continue to go unpunished and the people’s dream for the sun of justice to finally rise are slowly withering away. One thing is certain: Something must be done and the campaign for the promotion of justice in Afghanistan should be accelerated and intensified. The Memory Box project is one small step towards the realization of this dream. It is an attempt to bring the victims of injustice to the center of attention when Afghanistan’s past, present, and future is being discussed. It is a step towards the prevention of further crimes and tragedies.
The Story of Mah Parwar
My name is Mah Parwar and I am 40-years-old. I live in Chehil Sutun, Kabul. Before the war, we used to live in Chardehi. I was 20-years-old when violence broke out. We did not have a good life at that time but it became even worse once my brother was killed.
One day, he told us that he would be going to Jalalabad to fetch spare car parts. Just before he left, we even joked about his trip. My brother loved jokes. We advised him not to go there but he insisted that he had nothing left to sell in his shop. He spent one night with my sister and her family in Waisal Abad and then went on to Jalalabad. We later learned that he was taken out of the car and killed in the Kaj Sher area of Jalalabad. The driver attempted to stop the murderers but failed. It was him who reported the murder of my brother to the 60th Battalion.
It was Eid night and my mother had gone to my uncle’s home. My mother told them that Shafi had gone to Jalalabad. They were soon informed that Shafi had been injured and was brought to the Chardehi mosque. My mother and uncle immediately went there but could not find him. They then went from hospital to hospital and eventually found his dead body in the Ali Abad hospital. I later went to my uncle’s home where I saw the dead body of my brother.

The Tearful Eyes of a Young Woman
Narrator: Karima
Victim: Hafiz
Date of the incident: 1992-1996
Location of the incident: Kabul City
Karima was very young when her father Hafiz was taken from home. At that time, no one knew what was going on. Suddenly, a number of people with their faces covered entered the house and took Hafiz. They did not even allow Hafiz to change his clothes and put on his shoes. Afterwards, the abductors never contacted Hafiz’s family; they remained in the dark about the reasons for his forced departure. Shortly after, the family came to know that the people who abducted Hafiz were from one of the Mujahidin groups. Hafiz’s only crime had been that he was working for the government. Today, his family still does not know what happened to Hafiz, but he never returned.
After Hafiz’s abduction, his family lived in absolute misery. His only son was forced to work during the early days of his childhood. His son later lost his sanity due to a number of serious psychological problems, while Karima’s mother suffered a heart attack during the time of the Taliban. As the Taliban banned treatment of female patients by male physicians, she later lost her life in the hospital. Karima was a witness to all these painful events.
She is now 30-years-old and never shows any signs of energy and happiness. She cannot stop crying. Karima got used to suffering from her early days. The endless cycle of violent incidents in her life has turned suffering into a routine experience. She does not know what she did to deserve this fate but strongly believes that she has suffered more than anyone else in this world. Are those who ignited the fire of war even thinking of the burned life of Karima? The Memory Box project aims to document stories of people like Karima and make them part of the official history of Afghanistan. The Memory Box project is a window into the lives of victims who tell their stories as they have experienced them. Without making an effort to look at the consequences of war through the lens of the victims, it will be difficult to truly grasp the hidden realities of war. Hence, we need to clean our eyes, look through their lens, and listen to their suffering and countless pains.
The history of Afghanistan has so far been written without the voices of the victims. These voices need to be heard. Stories like the one of Karima reflect but a small part of everything that Afghan victims have endured in recent decades.
The Story of Karima
My name is Karima and I am 30-years-old. I lost my father during the war. I was only 4-years-old when my father disappeared. I cannot remember it in detail. I can recall only that some people with their faces covered broke into our house and took my father away. They did not even let my father change his clothes and put on his shoes. After he disappeared, we did not know what happened to him. My mother searched everywhere but could not find him. We assume that Hizb-e Islami abducted him as they were against those working for the government of the time. I remember it was almost midnight when we heard a knock on our door.
My mother opened it and these masked men came in and took my father still dressed in his pajamas. There were people all over the house including on the roof. After his disappearance, we experienced a great deal of difficulties. My brother, who was in grade six at the time, had to start working to feed us. Soon after, he began to suffer from depression.
Today, he is absolutely mad but still asks for my father. He believes that my father is still alive. Later on, my mother died during the Taliban regime. This was the worst moment of my life (Karima cries). My mother was suffering from heart problems and later had a heart attack.
We took her to different hospitals but there was no female doctor. The Taliban had banned male physicians from treating female patients. As a result, my mother died in Jamhuriat hospital. I cannot forget these terrible moments in my life. Therefore, I hate the Taliban.
Today, I work and feed my family. My sister works as a teacher though she does not have a permanent contract. My sister, my sick brother and I live together. One of my other sisters lives in Mazar-e- Sharif.
I fully support the Memory Box initiative. I want to keep my father’s memory alive. I will not allow for him to be forgotten. Those who have killed my father must know that someone from his family is still alive and thinking of him. This initiative is dedicated to people like my dear father (Karima cries). People are telling me that I had a very handsome and kind father. My relatives told me they saw his Memory Box on TV. I am very pleased to see my father’s memories alive.

A Wedding Ceremony That Never Took Place
Narrator: Kobra
Victim: Mohammad Sarwar
Date of the incident: 1979-1980
Location of the incident: Salang, Parwan
When war becomes widespread, no one is immune to it. War reserves a share for everyone and those who survive it have many stories to tell. What all these stories have in common is that they happened in a situation of absolute emergency.
In those times, nothing is normal and chaos reigns. At the same time, people’s pains and suffering are not fully equal. Similarities can be drawn but each victim of violence has their own distinctive story. Some are hurt because their children were killed, while others were subjected to forced displacement. Many are left behind without any support, suffering in solitude. War retains a different fate for different people.
The story of Mohammad Sarwar is that of all those young men and women whose wedding ceremony never took place. Mohammad Sarwar was 20-years-old when he was forcibly conscripted during the government of the last communist president, Dr. Najibullah. He was deployed to Panjsher Valley. There he served for a year and later came back home to spend his holidays with his family. During the visit, Sarwar got engaged. He happily returned to military duty hoping to come back soon and hold his wedding party. He even bought all the things needed for the ceremony. Exactly 20 days after he had reassumed his military duty, his family was informed of his death. It was shocking news for everyone. His father later fell off the roof of his house and remained severely handicapped for the rest of his life. Hence, his mother was forced to carry the pain of both her deceased son and her handicapped husband. Ever since, the death of her young son has occupied her entire being and she never again attended any wedding party of friends or family members as these reminded her of her son’s premature death.
The Story of Sarwar’s Mother
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. He first served in Kabul and was later transferred to the Panjshir Valley. He spent two months there before he was 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.
The death of Sarwar has severely affected our lives as he was our only son and breadwinner. We have suffered a great deal and I have been crying for my son day and night ever since he died. For a while, my husband was able to work and sustain the family but he had to stop working 9 years ago due to old age. Now, we have no one to support us.
I still hold on to my son’s spoon and plate as well as his old blanket, a watch, and a ring. I have kept these objects to remember my son, especially the ring. When his clothes were returned to us after his death, his ring was attached to them.

A Mother's Vision Blurred by Death
Narrator: Farida
Victim: Qudrartullah
Date of the incident: 1987
Location of the incident: Kabul city, Deh-e Sabz
Farida’s brother in-law, Qudratullah, was an 18-year-old student living in the Chehil Suton area of Kabul when he was forcibly conscripted under the government of Dr. Najibullah. He was dispatched to fight the Mujahidin insurgents. In one of the battles between the Afghan army and the Mujahidin in Deh Sabz, Kabul, Qudratullah was killed. Qudratullah was the fourth son of his family. Even while he was still at school, he was financially supporting them through part-time work. He wished to become an engineer but war and violence did not allow for his dream to come true, instead shattering the life of his entire family.
His death was costly for his mother more than anyone else. The death of her young son opened up a deep wound that severely damaged her spirit. For a long time, day in and day out, his mother cried and mourned. She could not accept that Qudratullah was gone and would never come back. The constant crying eventually began to blur her vision. The world had come to an end for her and nothing would ever change that. Naturally, the death of Qudratullah also had a deep impact on his father. His father was already old and frail, but the death of his young son further damaged his body and soul. Unlike his wife, he did not carry his pain on the outside but he gradually lost his capacity to work and soon passed away.
As a result, poverty and hunger overcame the family. Later, the family of Qudratullah yet again suffered from the violence of war when their home was destroyed by a rocket attack and they were forcibly displaced. Today, after years of suffering, they managed to return to a life remotely resembling normalcy. Yet, the horrors of war continue to cast a huge, disturbing shadow over them.
The Story of Farida
My name is Farida. I am 40-years-old. I live in Chehil Sutun where we have spent the past 20 years. We did not have a good life at the time my brother in-law Qudratullah was killed, in 1988.
He was killed during the fighting between the forces of Dr. Najibullah and the Mujahidin. He was 18-years-old and in 12th grade when he was conscripted into the army to fight the insurgents. One day, somebody came and informed us that Qudaratullah had been injured and that he was in a hospital nearby. We quickly ran to the hospital, but it was too late. We took his dead body and buried him in Chehil Sutun.
Another brother-in-law of mine, Hayatullah, was also handicapped during the war. After heavy fighting broke out in the capital, we were displaced to Logar province where we lived in a tent for a while. When we finally came back to Kabul, our house was completely destroyed as a result of the fighting among various Mujahidin factions. We then migrated to Iran because of the Taliban, and only returned home after their regime had collapsed.
Upon arrival, we were told that the government would provide us with a new home and land. Yet so far, nothing has been given to returnees and the families of the victims. The government must provide some form of support to the returnees. If not, how will they survive? People have lost everything during the war. I have a handicapped brother-in-law. I have daughters and a son and we are poor. Most importantly, the memories of our loved ones should be preserved and respected. Their memories should serve as a lesson for others.

The Girl Who Took on The Role of Her Father
Narrator: Alia Azimi
Victim: Zawar Ali, son of Sher Mohammad
Date of the incident: 1996
Location of the incident: Markaz-e Behsod, Maidanwordak
Alia was only 10-years-old when her father was killed. Her father was a clergy member with a great deal of influence at the local level. He was known as a peace-loving person and thoroughly rejected the notion of war as a means to resolve conflict. Not only did he not participate in any war, but he actively tried to prevent people from resorting to any form of violence. In his view, war was the source of destruction and brutalities, hence unjustifiable both from religious and rational perspectives. According to him, no society could ever be built by war, which is why he actively carried out campaigns against war by reciting verses of the Quran and conducting religious rituals.
When the Taliban attacked the Hazarajat region of Afghanistan, Alia’s father once again tried to raise the flag of peace. He gathered the local elders and other influential people to negotiate a settlement with the Taliban. They literally raised a white flag as they approached them. But the Taliban paid no attention to their call for peace and did not even allow them to put forward their requests. On the contrary, they fired and killed all of them including Alia’s father. Later, his body was found with his ring finger cut off.
Alia’s father left behind four daughters and a son. Alia was the eldest of them. Naturally, none of them were old enough to work in order satisfy their basic human needs. Later, during the patriarchal regime of the Taliban, it was almost impossible for women and girls to work outside the house. As a result, Alia and her sisters suffered a great deal as they had no regular income and were trapped in chronic poverty. Eventually they migrated to Pakistan, where they worked in a carpet factory. They used the money they earned to go to Iran, where they spent a few years before returning to Afghanistan. Alia’s sisters got married and so did her brother, while Alia assumed the role of her father, giving Quran lessons to meet her and her mother’s financial needs.
The Story of Alia
My father went to negotiate a peace agreement with the Taliban when they shot and killed him, along with my uncle. Some of the people from the area had begun to fight the Taliban in order to defend themselves and their properties. Other people fled the area as they were fearful of them. Some women even left their children behind and escaped the area without them. Most of the younger people finally left as well, and only the elders remained.
The war soon spread everywhere and we were forced to migrate to Pakistan where we worked in a carpet factory for a while. Then we went to Iran, where my uncle paid for our expenses. My sisters and I went to school there. My brother got a job. When my three sisters eventually got married and returned to Afghanistan with their husbands, I joined them too. Later, my brother got married as well. After the wedding, he and his wife did not stay with us, which affected my mother a great deal. Now, my mother does not have a happy life.
There are only a few things that remain from my father. I would like to include one of his books, a ring, and an overcoat for the Memory Box project. I am including all these things so that the officials and people know that we have not forgotten our loved ones. When the first Memory Box exhibition took place, I was excited to stand next to my father’s box, tell his story, and share my pain with my fellow countrymen and women.

There Is Nothing Holy about War
Narrator: Safura
Victim: Haji Ewaz
Date of the incident: 1985
Location of the incident: Kabul City
Haji Ewaz was excited about Jihad. For him, Jihad was a form of holy struggle that cleans the spirit of the individual and society at large. Haji Ewaz knew that Jihad must first take place inside oneself before it can spread to the outside world. Hence, he was preaching Jihad in order to fight the regime. From his point of view, Jihad was good and those who engaged in it, the Mujahidin, were the best people in the world. The truth is that he was not involved in Jihad for his personal benefit but as a result of his faith and deep convictions.
Haji Ewaz sacrificed his life for Jihad but he did not live long enough to witness its final results: the destruction of Kabul, the pain and suffering it generated, the destruction of thousands of homes, and the burial of women and children under the collapsed walls and roofs of their own residencies.
Neither did Haji Ewaz live long enough to witness how the Mujahidin wiped out an entire city and its dwellers. He had an idealized image of Jihad in his mind. He felt that Jihad is the source of life and that only through Jihad the country could be saved. But he did not live long enough to see how Jihad produced only destruction and suffering for the people of Afghanistan.
Haji Ewaz engaged in Jihad and sacrificed his life for it, but what was holy and emancipatory for him soon turned into an evil for his children as the Mujahidin did not only not follow his model but later killed two of his sons.
The Story of Safura
My name is Safura. I lost my father in-law during the war. I also lost my brother in-law. We used to have shops and properties before the war began. When my father in-law was killed, there was no one in our home to take care of us.
My father in-law Haji Ewaz used to be a Mujahid. One day, unknown people came and inspected our home and took my uncle away. He was imprisoned in Sedarat for six months and then spent another year in Puli Charki prison. Later we were informed that he had been executed and we should come and get his clothes.
Among the things they gave me were a blanket, a pair of scissors, a mirror, and a bed sheet. His bed sheet was full of blood. I asked them why his bed sheet was full of blood but they did not answer. My husband was in Herat at that time. Later, two of my brother in-laws were killed. Nader Ali, 30-years-old, and Dawood, 14-years-old. My husband was shattered when he learned about the death of his father and two brothers. Since then, our life has been very difficult.
I brought a number of things to contribute to the Memory Box project. These objects were left behind by my father in-law and brother in-laws. There are a turban, a blanket, scissors, and a measurement tape. I hope their memories will remain alive forever.

Our life was relatively good when Aziz Gul was still alive. It was during the time of the Soviet invasion that my son was killed. We were at home when our neighbor informed us about his murder. He had gone outside to water the field when a rocket struck. His father, brother, and sisters started to cry immediately as we went to see his dead body lying on a wheelbarrow.

One Fateful Day
Narrator: Pashtun
Victim: Aziz Gul
Date of the incident: 1981-1989
Location of the incident: Kabul City
The story of Aziz Gul’s death is neither unique nor exclusive. Totally unexpected deaths like his have ruined the lives of countless families in Afghanistan. Stories like his have been told in each corner of the country, though the sad truth is that people like Aziz Gul are never remembered by those who benefit from the existence of war. It is them who do not care about the suffering that war inflicts on its victims. These men enjoy igniting the fire of war and playing with it. They have chosen war as their way of life. The death of Aziz Gul was an absolute tragedy. For his family whose wishes and hopes for the future were inseparably linked with the fate of Aziz Gul, his sudden death meant the end of the world for them. When Aziz Gul died, all their dreams melted and the hell of misery and desolation opened its mouth to devour them.
Aziz Gul was 15-years-old and already helped his aging father in his work. His father was happy that he would eventually become the main breadwinner in the family. One day, Aziz was watering his father’s field in Shamali, North of Kabul when a rocket struck and killed him. His father never came to terms with the death of his son and after years of struggling with the tragedy and its repercussions, finally died too.
This in turn marked the beginning of the end for his mother, Pashtun, who was left behind with three children. In order to provide for them, she cleaned and washed other peoples' clothes. Sometimes, in order to put food on the table, she collected leftovers from wastebaskets. Other times, she and her children spent their days without eating at all. Until today, Pashtun cannot find words to describe her miserable fate.
The Story of Pashtun
Our life was relatively good when Aziz Gul was still alive. It was during the time of the Soviet invasion that my son was killed. We were at home when our neighbour informed us about his murder. He had gone outside to water the field when a rocket struck. His father, brother, and sisters started to cry immediately as we went to see his dead body lying on a wheelbarrow.
Later on, my husband could not cope with his son’s death and eventually stopped working. He died five years later. After his death, our lives got even worse. We lived in an abandoned house. At times, we even ate leftovers from the wastebaskets of others. I worked as a cleaner. Later on, my younger son started to work in the streets. Our survival was dependent on his income. When the Taliban burned my house in Shamali, we moved to Kabul. I still work as cleaner today.
My life is as bad as it was before. Consequently, I have psychological problems. I’ll never forget those days of being abandoned by everyone and left without food. Whenever food rations were distributed, I went and took them home. Those were the only times we could eat properly. Today, I am very sick, but cannot afford to go and see a doctor. My son is twenty-years-old, but thin and weak. We now live in a rental house. I will never forget Aziz Gul. It is very strange because he was my step-son. His mother had left him. Aziz Gul suffered a lot and finally died at a young age.

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, abduction, and arbitrary detentions. Safia lost three members of her family during the bloody civil war, including her mother, her cousin, and her brother in-law, when a mortar shell was thrown into their home by the hostile group in the western suburb of Dasht-e-Barchi, Kabul.

When Homes Turn into Graveyards
Narrator: Safia
Victim: Shirin Gul
Date of the incident: 1993-1996
Location of the incident: Kabul City, Dashte Barchi
Shirin Gul is not the only woman whose house was destroyed over the past three decades of war in Afghanistan, though all houses destroyed in Kabul resemble that of Shirin Gul. The injuries visible to the walls of the houses mirror the injuries inflicted onto the bodies of its residents.
During the various conflicts, particularly the one between the different Mujahidin factions, the houses in Kabul were no longer people’s shelters. Rather, they were their graves prepared in advance. There was always the possibility of a rocket or artillery shelling destroying someone's home. None of the houses were beyond the reach of violence, nor were they durable enough to protect their inhabitants against the persistent attacks. These ruined houses became a refuge for Death, making his home among the many people buried in the rubble of their own homes. The whole of Kabul was turned into a gigantic graveyard.
Shirin Gul was one of those people whose house was bombed and took her life during the civil war in the 1990s. It happened on an evening when she attempted to defy the terror of war by holding a small reception to bring back the happiness of former times to what had by then become a city of ghosts. She did not expect that her home would one day become a slaughterhouse, and that her reception would end in terrible tragedy. Shirin Gul had invited her son in-law and brother in-law to an evening reception. They had just begun their supper when a stray rocket fired by the Taliban hit the exact room where the reception was taking place, immediately killing Shirin Gul and her two guests. The death of Shirin Gul marked the end of happiness for her children. Her husband did not marry again and dedicated himself to taking care of his mother-less children.
The Story of Shirin Gul
My name is Safia and I am 42-years-old. I am living in the Dugh Abad area of Dashte Barchi. During the war, I lost three members of my family: my mother, my cousin, and my brother in-law. My whole family, including my son in-law and my cousins, were in our home when a rocket hit our house and killed them. I was not personally present when the incident happened.
According to my family members, their bodies were ripped to pieces and it was almost impossible to identify them. My cousin had a two-month-old child who died soon after his father’s untimely death. His wife had no option but to return to her father’s home. My mother left behind six children, two sons and four daughters. Today, my father is old and my sisters are mentally unstable. One of my sisters left her husband and children because of these mental problems.
Now she does not recognize anyone anymore. I am not mentally stable either. I was desperate after the death of my mother. She loved me a lot.
The worst moment in my life was when I heard about the death of my mother. After she died, no one ever properly welcomed me in my father’s home anymore, and this made me so disappointed.

Ramazan Ali Sanger was detained in the last years of Dr. Najibullah's administration due to his support for jihad in opposition to the government supported by the Soviet Union. Ramazan was married to Rahima, and the two of them had three children. In Pul-e-Charkhi jail, Ramazan was slain in early 1992 after being subjected to harsh beatings and torture by his interrogators.

Victims of Jihad
Narrator: Rahima
Victim: Ramazan Ali Sangar
Date of the incident: 1993
Location of the incident: Kabul, Pul-e-Charkhi Prison
Ramazan Ali was very excited about Jihad. He felt that Jihad is fighting for the way of God, a way that leads to happiness. He would call himself a true follower of God. Rahima was supporting her husband because of her love for him. She did not know much about Jihad. She came to know about it through her husband and wanted to help her husband in this “holy war.” But taking part in Jihad had severe consequences for Ramazan. He was imprisoned because of his ideology, was badly tortured, and eventually gave his life without having been prepared for martyrdom.
No one knows how he was killed. Perhaps, he died from the effects of torture. After Ramazan Ali’s death, his wife and three children were left behind without any support or financial means. From morning to night and night to dawn, they were in search of a piece of bread. Rahima knocked on door after door to find work as she did not want to see her children living in chronic poverty. But no one seemed to care. No one invited them to their wedding parties. Though people easily talked of compassion, their lack of such mercy in practice came down on Rahima like a hammer on her head. She sacrificed her entire life to provide for her children.
It is this aspect of holy war that Ramazan seems to have failed to consider. His excitement about taking part in Jihad turned him blind to its severe implications for the rest of his family. If he were alive today, he could listen to the suffering of his wife and children. He could intimately familiarize himself with their untold story. If he was alive today, perhaps, he would choose another way of attaining prosperity.
The Story of Ramazan Ali
It was the last year of Dr. Najibullah’s government during the month of Ramadan. Shortly after dinner, my husband began praying. We did not know that our house was under surveillance. Suddenly, we heard suspicious movements. When we came out of the house, the yard was full of people. More than 50 soldiers came into our house. They started to beat my husband.
They beat him because he was a Mujahid. They arrested him and took him away. He was detained in Sadarat and we were not allowed to see him. We could go there only to deliver his clothes. I went to Sadarat and waited for days to see my husband but they did not allow me to see him. I even begged each and every soldier and officer to make an exception but to no avail.
After six months, he was transferred to Puli Charkhi Prison, where he spent another year. Once again, I was not allowed to see him. After one year, he wrote us a letter and sent us his ring and some other things. In that letter, he mentioned that he had been transferred from the second floor of Block 2 to Block 3. He also indicated in his letter that if he was no longer found in Block 3, we should stop looking for him. He suggested that his children should be sent to learn the holy Quran.
After we received his letter, I went to Puli Charkhi Prison on several occasions. Every time, the prison officials told me that nobody with his name was imprisoned there. Then, the last time I went there, they told me that my husband had been executed and handed over his personal belongings to me. We never saw his dead body. He was killed seven years after our marriage. It was after his death when our truly bad days began and I was obliged to do all kinds of hard work including cleaning, washing, and ironing to support my family and children. We also lived for 13 years as refugees in Iran.
I still preserve my memories of Ramazan, the worst being when I was told that he had been executed. Coming back home, I was so desperate and sad. My younger daughter asked me what happened and I told her that her father was no longer alive. She began to shout and cry for a long time. Since then, I have never seen her cry again. In those days, I was working day and night while continuing to mourn the death of my husband. Some nights, my younger son and I cried together. Sometimes my son cleaned my tears and told me that I could be his father too.
Another sad moment in my life was the day when my husband was arrested and handcuffed. There was a place in our home where he hid but the soldiers found him. He was handcuffed and beaten up in front of me and the children. My husband told me not to worry and that nothing would happen to him. When he was taken away, I saw the tears in his eyes. Afterwards, I never saw him again. I will never forget that moment.

Some were forced to flee their homes and subjected to various forms of violence like rape, extortion, abuse, harassment, abduction, and arbitrary detention. Ghulam Hazrat was killed in the civil war between several Mujahidin groups while serving as a soldier in the Mujahidin Islamic State Government. After Ghulam Hazrat passed away, his wife Halima and their four children were left in the midst of a devastating civil war that claimed thousands of lives and uprooted millions, with no one to provide for them.

About Happiness
Narrator: Halima
Victim: Ghulam Hazrat
Date of the incident: 1992-1996
Location of the incident: Kabul
Halima’s list of dreams is neither very long nor very ambitious. Her dream is to be happy. Certainly, many people in war torn societies like Afghanistan have similar dreams of happiness. For them, happiness is not about prosperity, wealth, and power. Neither is it about having stylish and luxurious mansions, or expensive cars. In short, they do not have as sophisticated an understanding of happiness as ordinary people in other countries have.
On the contrary, their world is extremely small and their expectations are very modest. For Halima and people like her, happiness means bread. It means being able to provide a piece of bread for their children to sleep at night with their bellies full, so that they can dream of other things than something to eat. At best, happiness means having a home and that one’s children sleep under a roof in which they can grow up in peace. In addition, for people like Halima, happiness means being looked upon as a normal member of society. As long as the community does not humiliate her and her sons and they can live without fear and intimidation, she is content.
Halima does not desire much more than these simple things. Unfortunately, war has denied her even the simplest of dreams. Six years after getting married, she lost her husband and was left alone with four children, with the fourth one being born six months after the death of Ghulam Hazarat. For three years, they survived thanks to the assistance of the Najibullah government. However, after the Mujahidin took power in Kabul, the situation changed and government funding was no longer available to them. As a result, Halima had to sell her home utensils, one after another, to feed her children. When there was nothing left to sell, she had no option but to wash and clean people’s clothes and homes. Other times, she worked as a sewer. She remembers many days when she could only provide dry bread for her children. Today she is 45-years-old, has heart disease, and can no longer operate the sewing machine. The nightmare of poverty has returned. She does not know whether a day will come when she can finally feed her children properly. If such a day were to arrive, she would finally consider herself happy. Such is Halima’s modest understanding of happiness.
The Story of Halima
When I first got married, it was my father in-law who was the main breadwinner for our family. He was a carpenter. Later on, my father in-law stopped working due to old age. Therefore, my husband joined the army as an ordinary soldier. My husband did not have a good salary. Since he was deployed in another province, it was difficult to send money home. In those days, together with my sister in-law, we were doing embroidery work at home and then sold it at the local market. Eight months later, my husband returned on home leave. With the small salary he brought, we bought flour and oil. He stayed with us for a few days and then went back to the barracks. After eight months, he once again sent money to us through one of our relatives. Then, after two years, my husband finally came back and we had two more children. He began working at a bakery. In those days, our living conditions were relatively good.
After a while, he was recalled by the army. Eighteen months later, he was killed. It was just a few days before his home leave. We waited for him to come home but he did not come. On the 18th day, I woke up and told his mother that I was going to prepare bulani for her son today. I prepared everything and then fell asleep. My mother in-law came and woke me up and I returned to my preparations. I had prepared only three bulani when I heard someone crying outside the house. I went out and saw two soldiers standing at the main door. They inquired if this house belonged to Hazrat Khan and when my father in-law affirmed, the soldiers told him that Hazrat Khan had been injured and hospitalized.
Together, they went to the hospital where they discovered that Hazrat Khan had died. They came back home around 4pm. I was calling my father in-law Baba, so I asked Baba how Hazarat Khan was. He answered that he was slightly injured and that he would bring him home the day after. My younger son did not sleep the whole night and asked to go and see his father. That night a lot of people came to our home. They brought big dishes. I heard my uncle asking for the Quran. I told my father in-law that he was trying to hide something from me and that perhaps Hazrat Khan had died. I began to cry. My mother in-law tried to make me understand that they needed the Quran for a different purpose.
The next morning, my father in-law asked me to clean my room, saying that he and his friends would like to sit there. I went and cleaned the room. Later on, my sister in-laws came in. They hugged me and said that Hazarat Khan had passed away. I was six months pregnant. After the news, I fainted and remained unconscious for a long time. Later, when I regained consciousness, I saw a coffin covered with red cloth. My six-year-old daughter came and asked me who she should call father from now on. She hid under the bed and began to cry.
Over the next few weeks, the fire of war spread everywhere, including Chihil Sotun where we resided. Everyone was forced to leave their homes and we moved to Shur Bazaar. There, my mother in-law died. Then, I went to live in my father’s home in Jade-Asmayi where we had nothing to eat. Next, I stayed with my sister in-law for three months before we finally found a place to stay, though we did not even have a carpet to sit on.
Later, someone donated military blankets and a bag of flour, but I had no utensils to make bread for my children and I was forced to borrow a small cooking pan from my neighbor.
My children slept most of the time as there was nothing for them to eat. In the evenings, we had nothing to light and heat our home with. We spent three months like this. When the fighting finally came to a halt, I borrowed a sewing machine from my father and began sewing for others in order to feed my children. Gradually, I managed to buy little things for our home including three cups, spoons, and a plastic blanket.
The worst moments were those days that I had no food to give to my children, except a piece of bread. Nowadays, I wash clothes and tailor. Although this is increasingly difficult to do as I have a heart problem.

Questions About the Nature of War Rahima’s Story
Narrator: Rahima
Victim: Haidar Khan
Date of the incident: 1998
Location of the incident: Hairatan, Mazari Sharif
The translation of painful experiences into words is very difficult. Words have many limitations, especially when trying to express pain. Pain is a strong feeling and words are a mere insufficient means to describe it. There is a huge gap between the feeling and its interpretation. Therefore, the idea of making the experience of war understandable through verbal expression is fundamentally flawed. The tragedy of war is deeply linked to personal experiences, and what war imposed on Rahima is indescribable.
Rahima is the victim of the fate that war imposed on her. She does not understand what war means and why human beings go to war. Yet, she certainly understands the horrible consequences of war. Hence, for Rahima, war is the most evil kind of action humankind can engage in. What could possibly justify the killing of one human-being by another? Why do houses and properties of people have to be destroyed?
Why, instead of generating pain and suffering for millions, should one not think of prosperity and happiness for all? Why do those involved in war not think about its devastating consequences? Why do they not think of all the children who lose their parents through violent means? Why does an oppressed person like Rahima, who has nothing except the sky she lives under, have to be further disturbed by war? Why are the perpetrators of violence not scared of the blood on their hands? Is there no alternative to violent conflict resolution?
These and other questions often disturb Rahima. And since nobody seems to be willing to answer these questions, she has begun to find her own answers. She knows that victims of war will always live on the margins of history and that no one looks at the world through the lens of the victims. She knows that no one puts themself in the shoes of victims in order to truly understand the experiences and suffering they have endured.
Rahima has also thought of potential solutions. For her, the solution is to tell, recall, preserve, and protect the memories of the victims. Memories are the only things people like Rahima possess. These memories are not meant to be preserved to wage further war, nor are they aimed at taking revenge. On the contrary, people like Rahima use them to make their own contributions to stop and prevent war.
According to her, the memories preserved by victims are the only instrument that reveals their endless pain and suffering. They awaken the human consciousness and ultimately contribute to the prevention of further atrocities.
Rahima’s Story
My name is Rahima and I am 50-years-old. I have lost four of my family members during the Taliban time.
It has been 17 years now since my husband and 10-year-old son were killed. There was war in Kabul and we eventually fled to Mazar-e Sharif, which is where we were when our home was looted back in Kabul. Three years later, my husband was killed. Afterwards, we lived for another three years in Mazar-e Sharif. From there, we moved to Jalalabad. Later on, we came back to Kabul.
It was the night of Eid and my poor husband and son were out looking for work when they were killed. My husband used to work as a day laborer in Hairatan. He usually came back home after 15-20 days. That night, when they were coming home, the Taliban fired on them. Their bodies were totally mutilated.
At the time my husband was killed, I had five children. After his death, we faced a lot of problems. I started to work as a tailor and my daughter and son were working in an educational center. My eldest son was 14-years-old and I had two more children of 3 years and 3 months. When we lived in Jalalabad, the situation further deteriorated. There was no work and we lived in a rented house. If we were unable to find a piece of bread during the day then we had nothing to eat during the night.
We had no one to look after us. I worked in the house of a Hindu as a cleaner and we finally moved back to Kabul, even though the Taliban were in power. Back in Kabul, not a single moment passed without hardship. It was difficult to eat properly as the little money we had was spent on renting the house.
My children were still small and they often asked how their father was killed. They missed their father a lot. Sometimes, I sat down with them and told them stories about their father. My husband’s name was Haidar Khan. He was 58-years-old when he was killed. My son was only 10-years-old when he was killed. I was his second wife. He was an ordinary person and had nothing to do with politics. Now, all I can do is to look after my children.
Unfortunately, nothing is left behind from my son. However, I have kept my husband’s spoon, his plate, and a photo of him. These objects are all very important to me. I am giving these things to you to let others know about the difficulties we have faced in our lives and that the situation is still not improving. The weather is already cold and we have no heater. My son is jobless. My children cannot go to school because we are poor.

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.

The Trauma of Rebuilding a Shattered Existence
Narrator: Negar
Victim: Qand Agha
Date of the incident: May 31, 2017
Location of the incident: Zanbaq Square, Kabul city
One of the main tragedies of war is that it makes all kinds of atrocities possible. When a war begins, repeated catastrophic events eventually lead to an endless cycle of violence and suffering, depriving the people of any kind of prosperity and joy. War transforms suffering into a daily routine, thereby destroying the dreams of even the simplest of lives. Everything evaporates except war, destruction, and suffering. Life itself loses its inherent meaning and begins to resemble a hollow ditch that opens its mouth to devour everything.
Even when war finally comes to an end, the trauma of rebuilding one’s life casts a huge shadow and further prevents a return to normality. In Afghanistan, generation after generation have grown up under the dark shadow of war. For many, war has by now been accepted as a way of living, thereby giving further life to the rule of swords, guns, suicide attacks, and a society full of hatred and violence. Consequently, violence is no longer bound by time and space while the legacy of conflict is so overwhelming that post-conflict life is often more difficult than life during the violent event itself.
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. It seems that the dragons of death are not yet satisfied and that every now and then the city of Kabul must fill its stomach with more victims. The death of Qand Agha constitutes an explicit warning that the possibility of a return to full-fledged war and its tragedies should not be underestimated.
The Memory Box project is an explicit statement against the return of tragedy. It aims to shake the human consciousness and expose the tragic nature of violent conflict.
The Story of Negar
My name is Negar and I am 40-years-old. Four years ago, my son was killed in a suicide attack in Charahi Zanbaq in the city of Kabul. I now live in Chehil Sutun in very difficult circumstances. In the past, my life was much better, especially since my son was working.
One day, my son was asleep when I woke him up and told him to go to work as it was getting late. He asked me to let him sleep and covered himself with a blanket. After a while I sent my other son to go and remind him. He refused again but eventually someone called him on his mobile and he finally got up. He had not eaten well the night before and I brought him fresh rice to eat. Then, he took his jacket and left the house. It was late afternoon and he never came back. I borrowed my neighbor’s cell phone and gave it to my younger son to call him. When my son called, somebody else answered his telephone and informed us that Qand Agha had been injured. Later, my husband came home and confirmed that he was injured. My son was hospitalized for one month. Every time I visited him at the hospital, he asked me not to cry, ensuring me that he would recover soon. After a month, he passed away and his dead body was returned home.
My son was a really funny person. He was working somewhere as a security guard but I don’t know exactly where. I do not remember which month he was killed but I do remember it was winter. He had received his salary only once and was waiting for his second salary when he died. Before, he used to work as a street seller and later he became a bus conductor. His father was old and could not fully support the family.
My son was always telling me that one day he would buy a house for us. Whenever he saw the car of a newly wed couple covered with flowers, he jokingly promised he would get married soon. I remember that I cooked rice that day when he was injured. He ate but left home hungry and often complained of hunger during his month in the hospital. His cloth was torn into pieces. I still keep it as a memory of him. I want you to use his stuff for the Memory Box exhibition.

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, abduction, and arbitrary detention. Between 1993 and 1996, Nikbakht lost both of her sons, Ramazan and Abdul Hamid. She has suffered for years, and as a result of chronic trauma and grief, her memory has degraded, making it difficult for her to recall the precise year of their passing. Ramazan and Abul Hamid were not involved with the militia or the fighting factions of the Mujahidin; they were civilians employed as porters and daily wage workers.

Nik Bakht is the symbol of a victimized generation struggling to deal with the trauma of never ending war. The dragons of war devoured her two sons within a short period of time and by now it hardly matters who was responsible for their murders. What is important is the infinite injury inflicted upon her heart. Years after her sons’ departures, she and her aging husband are living an existence between life and death. Their lives, in the aftermath of their sons’ murders, restricted only to the “sphere of pain.” This couple spent most of their years grieving their lost sons. Now they are old and the chains of poverty and helplessness have invaded them once and for all. There is no more energy left in her husband’s body to work as a porter to make ends meet. The “storm of poverty” has destroyed their lives. They can do nothing except to watch other peoples' happiness with broken hearts and sad eyes. Every time they look into the face of a young man, they remember their own young sons at the time of their early death; Ramazan was 21 years old and Abdul Hamid was 19 when they were killed.
If the war did not take the lives of Ramazan and Abdul Hamid, perhaps today everything would be different. They might even be feeling the prosperity, joy, and happiness of being grandparents. Unfortunately, for Nik Bakht and her husband to smile has become a meaningless act as they are constantly disturbed by the tragic deaths of Ramazan and Abdul Hamid. For them, every moment of their lives has turned into a terrible nightmare and their only solace are the photographs of Ramazan and Abdul Hamid, who continue to live in their memories until the day their souls will go to rest. A journey into the painful life of Nik Bakht can open our eyes to the hidden realities of war. War is not just a passing episode in the history of a country. When it occurs, it takes away the peace and wellbeing of the people forever.
The Story of Nik Bakht
My name is Nik Bakht and I am almost 60-years-old. I am originally from Bamiyan but have been living in Kabul for a long time. Our life was good before the war but then I lost two of my sons. One of them was killed in Deh Mazang and the other one in Kote-Sangi. Ramazan was killed in Kote-Sangi, though I do not exactly know how it happened… a bullet was stuck in his head and his eyes bulged.
My second son was called Abdul Hamid. He was two years younger than Ramazan. He died only a month after Ramazan’s murder. It happened during the holy month of Ramadan and Abdul Hamid had gone to the bakery to buy bread. We did not know that he had been shot. Later we learned that after he was shot, he was taken to the hospital and he was still alive when they took him. When he finally died, his body was brought to the local mosque, which is where we were informed about his death.
During the war, everyone we knew left and fled the city. We were asked to take care of peoples' homes. However, the bullets were coming from all sides and we were unable to go anywhere.
In those days, my husband worked as a porter and it was very hard for us to make ends meet. Today, it is even more challenging as my husband can no longer work. He suffers from psychological problems and keeps talking to himself. Of course, I am not very stable either. On the contrary, I feel completely shattered and abandoned.
There are only very few things left from my sons. These objects are very dear to me as they remind me of them. I am including them in the Memory Box to make my sons’ memories last. I want to keep them until the day I can finally ask the perpetrators for what reason they killed my innocent sons.
I suffer a great deal because of their deaths. If they were alive today, I would certainly have many grandchildren. In fact, shortly before his death, my elder son had just got engaged and we were preparing everything for their marriage. The wedding never happened.

Some were forced to flee their homes and subjected to various forms of violence like rape, extortion, abuse, harassment, abduction, and arbitrary detention. During the height of the civil conflict in 1992, Sayed Shah Ibrahim, then 70-years-old, was kidnapped and vanished from sight. Former Maidan Province resident Sayed Shah Ibrahim was a native of Hisa-I-Awali Bihsud and had never engaged in politics or militias. His family was never able to locate his grave or find his remains.

The Well of Death
Narrator: Pari Gul
Victim: Sayed Shah Ibrahim
Date of the incident: 1992
Location of the incident: Kabul City
War is the most egotistical and brutal manifestation of humankind. It does not produce anything except horror and destruction. It does not distinguish between old or young, men, women, or children. The lashes of war hurt everyone’s body. At the same time, not everyone suffers equally from war. Some suffer more, some less. But it is those who did not actively partake in the creation of war that usually bear the brunt of all the suffering. It is them who are victimized by a fate designed by others.
The story of Sayed Ibrahim Shah’s murder uncovers one such catastrophic consequences of war. He was an ordinary citizen with no links to the world of politics. His only crime was that he lived in Dasht-e- Barchi, a neighborhood of Kabul that had become synonymous with suffering. Here, everyday there was a strong likelihood that a rocket or stray bullet would kill someone. It seemed that the lives of its population were not regarded as worthy of living. It appears that those who unleashed the violence were doing it for the pleasure of seeing the people of Dasht-e-Barchi suffer. Sayed Ibrahim Shah had no other place to live; Dasht-e-Barchi was his only and final refuge.
Living in an environment of constant terror, Sayed Ibrahim Shah was well aware that he had a responsibility to protect his family. Therefore, he sent them far away to Behsud district while he and one of his sons remained to look after his home and belongings. It was the last time his family members would ever see him.
One day, he was walking the streets when he was apprehended by his own countrymen and taken to the Company area of Kabul. First, his family did not know about his whereabouts. Later, they found out that the he had been arrested by a local commander, detaining him in his own private jail. Sayed Ibrahim Shah’s family paid several bribes to secure his release but all they received in return was a turban, a hat, a toothbrush, and toothpaste.
There are different stories about how he was killed. According to one of them, the militias threw him down a well, which is where local residents later found him.
Pari Gul is one of his family members. She tells the story of Sayed Ibrahim Shah as follows:
The Story of Pari Gul
Sayed Ibrahim Shah was both my uncle and father in-law. He was killed during the civil war in Kabul, during which he and my husband remained in the city while the rest of the family was sent to Behsud. One day, he had just left his home when one of the warring factions arrested him and took him to Company area, where he was locked up in a private jail. He was detained together with his friend and spent three months there. He was then murdered and buried. We never saw his dead body.
In fact, we only came to know about his murder after we received his turban, hat, and toothbrush. The man who brought his possessions told us how the militias had tortured him. With his feet in chains, he supplied water to the militia base every day. Eventually, his dead body was found in a well. Later on, the people from the area took him out of the well and gave him a proper burial. All that is left from him is his turban, hat, and toothbrush. I now want to show these objects to other people so they understand that the militias killed a 70-year-old man!

Tears Of Joy, Tears of Pain
Narrator: Basira
Victim: Zakia and Matiuallah
Date of the incident: January 25, 1993
Location of the incident: Kabul City
For Basira, her life began to unravel on one bloody afternoon. The cold February weather brought everyone to the yard of the house. A clear sky and plenty of sunlight provided an opportunity for the children to play. Zakia, 6-years-old, brought her little brother Matiuallah to the yard to enjoy the sun. Everyone was ready for a beautiful day. The joy and happiness was evident on the faces of all, especially on Zakia’s face.
She was speaking to her little brother as if she were an adult. In her sweet and innocent accent, she told her brother about the light of the sun, the hardships of winter, and the good future that lay ahead of them. She showed her toys to her brother and promised to buy a good toy for him, too.
She took Matiuallah’s hands, rubbed them together, sang a song, and then kissed her little brother. Zakia was wearing a red coat. With the reflection of the sunlight and the snowy background, she looked almost purple. Her brownish hair was dancing on her red coat as she was jumping up and down.
Her face was shining and her eyes were hidden under the thickness of her black eyelashes. The big world outside was also very exciting for Matiuallah. He loved laughing, playing, and sometimes shouting at his older sister Zakia. Matiuallah had fleshy white skin, thick hair, and blue eyes. When he smiled, everyone was enchanted.
Watching such a memorable scene in a city where nothing except the sound of guns, rockets, and bullets could he heard, made Basira very happy. While watching her children play, she prayed to God to protect them in these difficult times. What she did not realize is that happiness in times of violence is not sustainable and that even a mother’s prayer cannot halt the brutal power of war. That day, a reception was prepared and they were invited to a feast in their beautiful yard. Everything was ready for Basira and her children to forget the horrors of war for a brief moment. Yet, this moment quickly transformed into unspeakable tragedy.
No one understood what was happening. A thunderous sound followed by a huge explosion blurred the atmosphere. The blue sky and clear sunshine were suddenly gone. Basira can perfectly recall the tragic event but she cannot precisely explain what happened that day. After the explosion, Basira says, “I got up and saw that all my family members were lying on the ground. I was confused, wandering around not knowing what to do. I heard Zakia screaming and calling for me. She asked for water. When I returned with the water, Zakia was no longer speaking. I touched her body but it was already cold. Her eyes were open, staring at me. I put her down and ran towards Matiuallah. I was so happy when I realized he was still alive. I hugged him. Suddenly, he stopped crying and I felt something cold and wet in my hand. I saw his belly ripped open and all his intestines coming out.
I understood that he was dead just like Zakia. I cried and cried and cried! I was screaming and running around. After that, I cannot remember what happened." Basira cannot talk much about that tragic moment. When she speaks about Zakia and Matiuallah, the color of her face changes. Tears flow uncontrollably from her eyes. Sometimes, she cries so much that her headscarf is soaking wet. She says, “I feel that I have a deep wound in my chest. A wound that continuously spits out blood. I’m sure one day I will drown in my own blood.”

'The Killing of AGSA' refers to the collective murder of opponents of the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan in the Pul-e-Charkhi Prison in Kabul between 1978 and 1979. The Afghan Intelligence Office, or AGSA, was led by Asadullah Sarwari. Thousands of individuals were put to death without a single trial, probe, or even allegation. In the late 1978 and early 1979, many Afghan families had no idea where their loved ones disappeared to. A list of those slain that included 5,000 victims of AGSA mass executions was made public by the Dutch Prosecutor's Office in 2013.

Happiness Lost
My husband, Allah Mohammad, had just finished high school when we moved from Shamali to Kabul City. One day, he went out and said that he was going to the university to take an exam. He was arrested along with another person who was fighting against the Soviet army close to Block Twelve of the Old Macroyan. I was just over 20-years-old when Allah Mohammad disappeared.
At that time, we were living in Qala-e-Wahid, near Kote-Sangi. Our living conditions were good. We had a house and property. But after the death of my husband, our lives were ruined. I migrated to Pakistan with my two small children. When I realized that I could not afford living in Pakistan, we went back to Afghanistan.
My husband was arrested during the time of the Khalq and Parcham regime. I personally could not follow his case but my mother in-law made several inquires regarding his whereabouts without any results. Then my mother in-law went to Sadarat, where she was informed that her son was imprisoned in Pul-e-Charkhi. At Pul-e-Charkhi, she was told that her son was no longer detained there and that she should pray for his soul. My mother in-law returned back home in tears.
Later when some political prisoners were released, he was not among them. This is when we were finally convinced that he was no longer alive. Since the regime was looking after me too, I walked twelve days and nights all the way through the Safi Mountain to Jaji and Parachinar to get to Peshawar. One of my brothers accompanied me in this long and risky journey. When we finally got to Peshawar, my brother began to work in a shop. However, as it was very difficult to live there, I soon came back to Afghanistan while my brother went to Iran.
In Afghanistan, I moved to Shamali and began working in a grape field to feed my children. Twelve years later, a commander forced me to marry him. I now have a 19-year-old boy from him. Two years after our marriage, my second husband was killed.
Among the things left from my first husband is his picture and a book. His photo and book are very special to me because they remind me of our beautiful times together. I am including these two important objects in my Memory Box so that my husband’s memory remains alive. I hope that these objects will help others to distinguish between those who are open-minded and progressive, and those who kill other human beings.

[محل شهادتش] مزار [شریف است]. حسن وقتی که به شهادت رسید همرایش یک بچه خالهاش و یک بچه عمه من یک بچه تغه/طغه من هم بود همهاش در مزار غرق شدند. 1 [در حمله طالبان به مزارشریف] شهید شد. کارگری، آری در مزار برای کارگری رفته بود.

Witness accounts state that once the Taliban troops retook Yakaolang, they started to arrest and ruthlessly kill individuals. In late December 2000, they had lost Yakaolang to Hezb-e Wahdat, an anti-Taliban party that claimed to be supported by the Hazara minority. Additionally, witnesses reported to Amnesty International that Hezb-e Wahdat soldiers executed at least four people in broad daylight during the few days they occupied Yakaolang in late December 2000.

Men Carried the Wounded Kids and Women Stayed with the Dead Kids
Name and Last Name: Mina Tarakhel
Date of Birth: 27 September 2006
Date of Injury: 9 October 2015
Type of arm: Rocket
Mina: When the rocket hit our house, I was playing in the yard with my brother, sister, and cousins. I don’t remember anything else. Everyone was crying and my foot hurt so bad. In the hospital, I found out that my younger sister had passed away.
The girls in our village are not allowed to go to school. This is why we go to the mosque which is located in our vicinity to have religious lessons. After I was wounded, I stopped going to the mosque for religious studies.
My foot hurts sometimes now. There is shrapnel in my left foot. I went to visit the doctor again. After check-ups, they said there is no need for taking out the shrapnel.
Mina’s Aunt: It was 5 PM. Men went to the mosque to do their prayer. Women had not done their prayer yet. Mina and other kids were playing outside when the rocket hit them. I ran out and gathered the wounded and dead kids. It was a very bad situation. There were 9 kids and the fight started just then. We were all wondering in those moments. We couldn’t understand what happened so quickly. When I ran out of the room, I faced a terrible scene. All the kids were injured and we had no idea who was dead or alive. I rose up one of the kids. He was in a very bad condition. We rose up the kids one by one to make sure they were alive. My 5-year-old son was dead.
Five of them were alive and the other four kids had passed away. Mina, Sameer, and Irshad's legs were cut off. Mina and Irshad were in bad condition. Two girls passed away on the way to hospital, one was 5-years-old and the other was 6-years-old.
The fight that started between the national army and the Taliban made our family mournful. My cousins and brother took the injured to the hospital with the private car. They went under operation that night. They cut off Mina's feet right that night. When she woke up, she was screaming and crying. Now she gets out of the home pulling herself, and has become a calm and secluded girl.
The doctors told us to come back after 6 months to get a wheelchair for Mina and Irshad. But Doctors without Borders were bombarded, and Mina and Irshad don’t have wheelchairs yet.
When the kids were injured, men took them to the hospital. I and the other women were busy with the dead. When I saw my son’s dead body, the day became dark for me as if it was night. I would check the wounded kids once and came to my son’s dead body the other time. My loved one was on the ground breathless. The three of our kids who were dead were 5-years-old. When my brother came home from the hospital, he asked me whether I wanted to see the other kids or not. I said yes I want to see them! We buried our loved ones, now we have to visit them.
I lost my husband three years ago. Now I am a tailor. I sew collars and live in my father’s home with my brothers. I feed my children with the money I get from sewing. My 10-year-old son works too. We don’t have land so we could use the agricultural harvest. I try hard to feed my kids with sewing collars and my son’s wages.

When I was informed, I quickly went home. We took Sameer and four other children to the hospital. One of the children had been killed on the spot. We arrived at the hospital at 7 in the evening. Sameer was in surgery until 12 midnight. He needed blood. My friends who were at the hospital donated blood to Sameer. Then I returned home to arrange for the burial of other children killed. Four children were killed and five were injured.

Date of Injury: 10 October 2015
Type of Arm: Mortar Shell (Hawan)
I’m seven-years-old but I don’t go to school. Instead, my brother and I go to a Madrassa. The Taliban do not allow us to go to school.
Sameer’s Cousin: I was in Khan Abad, 26 km east of Kunduz City and didn’t know what had happened. When I was informed, I quickly went home. We took Sameer and four other children to hospital. One of the children had been killed on the spot. We arrived at the hospital at 7 in the evening. Sameer was in surgery until 12 midnight. He needed blood. My friends who were at the hospital donated blood to Sameer. Then I returned home to arrange for the burial of other children killed. Four children were killed and five were injured. Those killed were younger than those injured. Sameer stayed in the hospital for one week. They operated on his leg twice, but his leg didn’t recover. They then sent Sameer to the Emergency Hospital for Victims of War in Kabul. After one week, they suggested to amputate Sameer’s leg.
The Kunduz hospital told us that they will give a wheelchair to Sameer after three months and will send him to Mazar-e Sharif. Three months later when I asked the hospital, they replied that the wheelchair had not been delivered to the hospital. Six months later, it was the same story. The wheelchair has still not arrived to Kunduz for Sameer. We just cannot give more lives and victims to the war.

In the morning, I wanted to find someone to go to hospital with so that we were not alone if any of us got injured on the way. When I left the house, I raised my hand. There was a house close to ours. Someone from the roof of it shot me. It was 7 AM. Another person was watching me from the front house. He told me to enter the house before I get shot again. I went. He tied my hand. He said, “Uncle, the bleeding does not stop.” In that moment, my blanket (men’s scarf) slipped down. A woman ran to take it. Just then, a rocket was fired and the poor woman was killed. A boy riding his bicycle was passing by. He was killed by a Kalashnikov bullet. He had no one to look after him.

Mechanic! The Bad Luck That I am Suffering from Happened to You Too
Name: Mohammad Hasan
Date of Birth: 2 April 1942
Date of Injury: 8 March 1994
Type of Arm: Kalashnikov
More than ten people were killed that night, my son included. We were digging a grave for my son. We were almost done when rockets started firing again. Everyone left and wished peace for my son. They said they didn't want to be killed. I was left alone. There was no one else. I wished my son was a kid so I could pick him up and put him in his grave.
I entered the alley and knocked on a door. There were many people in that house. They all refuged to a corner of the house. When I told them the story, some of them said they are no better than my son. They followed me to the mosque to take my son’s corpse to the cemetery. We buried my son in the dark.
After we were done, no one was left there. I was wondering how to go home. I returned home in the darkness. When I came home, I saw that my wife was sitting very sad with a neighbor next to her. She told me that Nilofar was wounded. None of us had seen her. A neighbor took her to the hospital. The neighbor told me that Nilofar was on the roof. When the rocket hit our house, our son was killed instantly and Nilofar was injured. She was jolting in the yard, and the neighbor took her to the hospital.
That night passed. In the morning, I wanted to find someone to go to the hospital with so that we were not alone if any of us were injured on the way. When I left the house, I raised my hand. There was a house close to ours. Someone from the roof of it shot me. It was 7 AM. Another person was watching me from the front house. He told me to enter the house before I get shot again. I went. He tied my hand. He said, “Uncle, the bleeding does not stop.” In that moment my blanket (men’s scarf) slipped down. A woman ran to take it. Just then, a rocket was fired and the poor woman was killed. A boy riding his bicycle was passing by. He was killed by a Kalashnikov bullet. He had no one to look after him.
Members of the house that I had entered told me that if the bleeding did not stop, it could kill me. He said to get up and go somewhere from the back way. I thanked him. My hand was bleeding. I stepped down the first and second stairs, but fell down the third stair and lost consciousness.
When I woke up, there were two boys next to me. The tied my hand with a piece of cloth and were giving me syrup. They told me, ”Uncle, there is fighting everywhere. We cannot find anything in the bazar. We will take you outside. You might find a car. Take yourself to a hospital.” After they took me outside, they ran back. I realized that no one was outside.
There were bullets being shot everywhere. I thought I was going to be killed. I wanted to enter an alley but I fell down. After some minutes, there was a bullet shot next to me. I tried to get up, but again my sight grew dim. Someone I knew very well was passing by. He was the District Chief of the 16th District. I told him, “Sir, help me to take myself to a hospital.” He replied, “You are about to die, and want me to get killed too.”
Just then, two young boys riding bicycles appeared. They got down and looked at me. One of them said, "There is someone killed." When I heard them told them that I am alive, helped me to get to the hospital. One of them said, "Leave him alone, we will be killed." But the other one said, “No, let’s help him. He has come out of his home and is injured.” One of them held me up to ride the bicycle.
I asked them, “Where are you taking me?” He said, “There is not a fight in the village. But in here, you can be killed by a bullet any time.” He tied the blanket around my shoulder and moved. A few steps further, I saw one of my friends. I was happy to see him. He was aware of what had happened to my family in the last two days and when he saw me, came toward me. I told the boys that he was a friend, and if it is possible leave me with him so that he helps me. The boys asked him, “Uncle, can you help him? We have to go and see how our families are.” He helped me and we entered a house.
There was food inside the house that we entered, plates were filled with rice and breads and were left untouched. When the fighting got intense, they house members had ran away without touching their food.
I asked him how he could help me. I told him that I had enough money with me, find a driver and give him as much as he wants. He left the house. After some minutes he returned and said there were no cars outside. I was wondering what to do. I gave him the address of a doctor I knew and asked him to tell the doctor that the mechanic is injured. Thankfully, he agreed and left. When he returned, he said that houses’ members have all left the house and the house was empty. He had no clue where they were.
Suddenly, I remembered a commander I knew. Almost a month ago, he lost three of his family members, his father and two of his brothers.
The person who was with me knew him too and told me that he had just seen him outside. I asked him to go out and tell the commander that mechanic is injured; he knows me.
After a few minutes, the commander came and told me, “The bad luck I am suffering from happened to you too.” I said, “Yeah, I lost my son and my three-year-old daughter is injured. I don’t know how my family is and they don’t know where I am.”
The commander called in his soldiers and they took me to a Russian Jeep. They took me to the Wazir Akbar Khan Hospital. I don’t remember anything after we got close to the hospital. I just remember that they put me on a blanket. There were three people wearing masks, one of them injected me with Anesthetic Ampoule, I was unconscious after that. When I woke up, my hand hurt. I looked around to see where I was. When I took a careful look, there were three more people on the ground and they were injured like me. We were all on the third floor and were lying on the ground so that we were safe from bullets. We were lying in the corridor. Many people were injured. I saw one of my relatives. He was injured too. I asked him to let my sister know that I am in the hospital. After three days, my sister could inform my wife about me. They had looked for me in all the nearby hospitals and could not find me.
Even now, my hand is numb. If it is wounded or burned, I don’t feel it. It took two months for my wound to get better. “Every night, I walk to my duty to find bread to feed my children, to be able to send them to school. We are a populated family.”

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.

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 the broken glass from my house. I had lost one leg in 1989 in a mine explosion. This time, my other leg was injured.
All my family were terrified. The floor was covered with broken glass. We could not see anything in the dark.
After the first incident when I lost my leg, my family behaved and liked me like before. But it was painful for myself because I sometimes feel that I can’t do enough with disability.
When I was injured the first time, I was treated at the government hospital and also provided with other assistance. After I got out of the hospital, I was provided with monthly coupons along with 4000 Afghanis in cash. But the assistance our current government provides is not sufficient.
I ask the government to bring peace and to not forget war victims. We were disabled in this land and we are its citizens. Sometimes I hear very unfair words. They say that people like me are culprits or perpetrators. That’s we are disabled. When I hear these words, my heart breaks and it makes me sad.

Pro-government forces attacked our home on a late night in the fall of 1984. On the night the attack happened, I was at home with my brothers, one of whom was killed while the other and I were injured. I was 20 or 21-years-old at the time. It was night time and I couldn’t recognize the type of gun I was injured with. But it was obvious that we were killed and injured by Russian guns because all pro-government forces used Russian weaponry.

I Returned to the Country…
Name and Last Name: Aziz Ahmad Arif
Date of Birth: 25 August 1959
Date of Injury: 26 January 1984
Type of Arm: Kalashnikov bullet
I was student at Kabul University during the rule of Noor Mohammad Taraki and Hafizullah [of the Afghanistan People’s Democratic Party (PDPA) that had ceased power after a bloody coup in 1978]. Kabul University students demonstrated in opposition to the regime. Like hundred of other students, I was one of the demonstrators. In response, the government arrested about one thousand students. When freed from jail, they had to either leave the country or live a hidden life. I was put into jail several times at the time of Taraki and later when the country was occupied by the Soviet forces.
When I was freed from jail in 1984, I was persuaded that living in Kabul was impossible for me anymore. I left Kabul for my home village, Khiwa, in Nangarhar Province in eastern Afghanistan. Our district in Nangarhar was not yet occupied by the government and Soviet forces.
The time of peace did not last long. Pro-government forces attacked our home on a late night in the fall of 1984. On the night the attack happened, I was at home with my brothers, one of whom was killed while the other and I were injured. I was 20 or 21-years-old at the time. It was night time and I couldn’t recognize the type of gun I was injured with. But it was obvious that we were killed and injured by Russian guns because all pro-government forces used Russian weaponry.
The regime had created local militias who worked based on the order of the government and were advised by Russian advisors on how to carry out their military operations. They were tasked to assault places where the residents were opposing the regime. Most of these ground attacks were carried out during night time.
It was winter and the weather was very cold. Bullets had pierced my leg and I couldn’t walk. There were also bullets that tore through my chest. One of my brothers who had undergone medical emergency courses bandaged the open wounds and then they took me to Peshawar, Pakistan. We went through mountainous terrain sometimes on his back, sometimes on mule or donkey.
I was hospitalized in Peshawar in a hospital run by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) for 9 months. I suffered a lot in that hospital. It was terrible. My wounds were opened and tied so many times. The wound on my chest went under operation 13 times.
After 9 months, I was still in a critical situation. My friends helped me travel to Germany for better treatment. It took almost two-and-a-half years in Germany till I fully recovered. But those wounds affected my whole life and I still bear the scars on my body. During the recovery period, I used to play football in order to help recover like before. But, unfortunately, one of my legs never recovered fully and there is a part still numb. However, a proverb says: “Till roots reach to the water, there is a hope.” I believe while we still breathe, we have hope to live for.
When living a period of time, we experience both happy and bitter moments which form our memories of life. There are some experiences that affect your life till the end. My whole life was affected by those wounds and I never experienced a peaceful life in Afghanistan after that. That’s why I cannot forget that memory. I may forget this memory for moments, but, it is not like a pencil’s mark on paper that can be easily erased. After a while, the memory is refreshed.
When I was under treatment in Germany, all my expenses were covered by my German friends. When I recovered, doctors insisted I stay in Germany. But I did not accept and returned to my country because I felt my friends and my country need me. I preferred to return among my friends.

Støre and his entourage were staying in the Serena Hotel, as were several foreign reporters and diplomats. While Thomassen was waiting to meet Støre in the lobby, at least two Talibani militants forced their way into the Serena Hotel by killing the guards posted outside the main entrance using hand grenades. At least one of the militants was dressed in an Afghan police uniform, which may have delayed the reaction of the PST bodyguards inside the hotel.
