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 in a late night in the fall of 1984. In the night that attack happened, I was at home with my brothers, one of whom were killed and the other and I were injured. I was 20 or 21 years old at that 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.
