Known as the "Killing of AGSA," it 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 (Afghan Agency for Safeguarding National Interest), led by Asadullah Sarwari, had arrested nearly 150,000 people, out of which an estimated number of 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 in the latter part of 1978 and early 1979. 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.

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 other deceased parliamentarians represented various provinces across Afghanistan, including Takhar, Kunar, Helmand, Kunduz, and Kabul.

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.

- Description of incident
Known as the "Killing of AGSA," it 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 (Afghan Agency for Safeguarding National Interest), led by Asadullah Sarwari, had arrested nearly 150,000 people, out of which an estimated number of 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 in the latter part of 1978 and early 1979. 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.

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.

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 him 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. Matiullah 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.” Until today, 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 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 and 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 and 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 postconflict 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 fullfledged 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.

About Happiness
Narrator: Halima
Victim: Ghulam Hazarat
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 liker 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 for them. As a result, Halima had to sell her home utensils one after another in order 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 a 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 and 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, 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 Hazarat Khan and when my father-in-law affirmed, the soldiers told him that Hazarat Khan had been injured and hospitalized.
Together they went to the hospital where they discovered that Hazarat 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 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-inlaw that he was trying to hide something from me and that perhaps Hazarat 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 sixyear 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 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.

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 his or her own distinctive story. Some are hurt because their children were killed while others were subjected to forced displacement. Yet others 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. First, he used to serve in Kabul and then transferred to the Panjshir valley. He spent two months there and then got 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 the official end of service, he got 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.

The Story of Ezat Mir (brother)
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 and struggled a lot to provide us 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 his assistant would take over.
One day, after finishing his shift, he returns to his room when a huge explosion occurs and destroyed the entire market. His assistant said that he had been blown away and everything had gone dark and when he returned to the building to look for Rab Khan and his guest in the room, he had found 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 nine younger siblings and 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 war destroys families and that by killing their breadwinners, it kills the entire family.

On August 24, 2016, suspected Taliban attackers stormed the American University of Afghanistan in Kabul using a car bomb and automatic weapons. The assault resulted in the deaths of sixteen people, including eight university students, one university policeman, and three security guards. Additionally, fifty to fifty-three individuals were injured, some critically. Afghan Special Forces killed three of the attackers. This incident marked the first direct attack on the university, although two professors had been kidnapped just outside the campus a few weeks earlier. Both Taliban and ISIL-KP were suspected though no group or individual claimed the responsibility for the attack.

Known as the "Killing of AGSA," it 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 (Afghan Agency for Safeguarding National Interest), led by Asadullah Sarwari, had arrested nearly 150,000 people, out of which an estimated number of 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 in the latter part of 1978 and early 1979. 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
The violence in the aftermath of the 1978 Saur revolution has forever destroyed Afghani’s happiness. Before the coup she lived a joyful life with her husband Allah Mohammad. Everything was going well. The result of their happy marriage were two healthy children, a boy and a girl. Afghani was proud of her husband, who was known to be well educated and intellectual. They lived in comfortable economic conditions. They were pleased with their lives and did not feel that anyone could ever take away their satisfaction and happiness.
But suddenly everything changed. Allah Mohammad was arrested by the government and taken to Puli Charkhi prison. He was never convicted of any crime and until today no one knows what happened to him.
The disappearance of Allah Mohammad radically altered the life of Afghani. Soon after, an endless cycle of trouble and suffering began. Looking everywhere for her husband, she did not manage to find him. Later, she lost her father, a brother and her father-in-law. As she became increasingly helpless and with rising violence in Kabul, she eventually migrated to Peshawar. Along with her brother and two young children, she walked all the way to Jaji and Parachinar and finally reached Peshawar. However, in Peshawar she could not afford the cost of living and shortly after took her children and returned to Afghanistan, where she eventually settled in Shamali, north of the capital Kabul.
In Shamali, she worked as vintager. Knowing that she was a widow, all the men stared at her in inappropriate ways. But Afghani was strong enough to resist the patriarchal structure of society and despite the mounting challenges, raised her two children on her own. Finally, one of the commanders in the area forced her to marry him. After two years of marriage, the commander was killed and she remained alone with what by then had become three children. Since then Afghani has done everything in her power to raise her children. She is now approximately fifty-five years old and has lost the strength to continue struggling for a better life. More than thirty years after the death of Allah Mohammad, no sign of joy and happiness is visible in her tenacious face. A world of untold stories are archived in her decrepit body.
The Story Of Afghani
Narrator: Afghani
Victim: Allah Mohammad
Date of the incident: 1978-1979
Location of the incident: Kabul, Pul-e-Charkhi prison
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 about his whereabouts without any results. Then, my mother-in-law went to Sadarat where she was informed that her son was imprisoned in Puli Charkhi. In Puli 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 on when some political prisoners were released, he was not among them, which is when we were finally convinced that he was no longer alive. As 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.

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.

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 him 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. Matiullah 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.” Until today, 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 Story of Zarbaig Sarwary (Mother-in-law)
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. On the exact moment he returned to his home at the Ahmadzai market to sleep, a suicide-bomber detonated his deadly 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.”

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 years-old student living in the Chehil Suton area of Kabul when he was forcibly conscripted during the government of Dr. Najibullah. He was dispatched to fight the Mujahidin insurgents and 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, in the process shattering the life of his entire family.
His death was costly for his mother more than for anyone else. The death of her young son opened up a deep wound that severely damaged her spirit. For a long time, his mother cried and mourned day in, day out. 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 came under 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 inlaw 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 totally 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 but 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.

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 Defence and Interior Ministers had visited the area. They prevented us from entering the perimeter until the Minister of Defence heard the story and allowed us to search for our martyrs. We searched under the rubbles with excavators but found nothing except a book, a shoe, and a mattress. That distressed me even more because everyone from 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 and 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 Defence and Interior Ministers had visited the area. They prevented us from entering the perimeter until the Minister of Defence heard the story and allowed us to search for our martyrs. We searched under the rubbles with excavators but found nothing except a book, a shoe, and a mattress. That distressed me even more because everyone from 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 had left behind to the Memory Box to let their memories live for longer and let others know how war and violence is to killing and destroying.

Abdul Jalil, my elder brother, was born in 1977 in the Panjshir Province. He used to work as a guard in Sarai Ahmadzai in the Shah Shaheed area. One summer night, when Abdul Jalil was sleeping in his room, a huge explosion occurred and destroyed the entire market, and killed and injured many people. He was severely injured when we took him out of the debris of the shattered building but lost his life on the way to the hospital. We took his body to his birthplace in Panjshir and buried him there.

The Story of Fazl Ahmad Khan (brother)
Victim’s Name: Abdul Jalil
Date of Incident: July 8, 2015
Place of Incident: Shah Shaheed, Kabul
Abdul Jalil, my elder brother, was born in 1977 in the Panjshir Province. He used to work as a guard in Sarai Ahmadzai in the Shah Shaheed area. One summer night, when Abdul Jalil was sleeping in his room, a huge explosion occurred and destroyed the entire market, and killed and injured many people. He was severely injured when we took him out of the debris of the shattered building but lost his life on the way to the hospital. We took his body to his birthplace in Panjshir and buried him there.
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.

Known as the "Killing of AGSA," it 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 (Afghan Agency for Safeguarding National Interest), led by Asadullah Sarwari, had arrested nearly 150,000 people, out of which an estimated number of 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 in the latter part of 1978 and early 1979. 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.

Victim’s Name: Sayed Abedin
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 found 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 until 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 amoung 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, a time made of a lot of good memories, and we have a daughter together, Hasana, who is now studying in third grade at school. Hasana cried for three months asking for her father.
His death took our happiness away. Without him is hard, as I did not just lose my husband but also lost 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 givemy 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.
