Silence

You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say will be misquoted and then used against you…

alight women



Tonight News:
"The number of women admitted after setting themselves alight has been increasing day after day.
In the first three months of the current year on the Shamsi calendar, there have been 9 women who have covered themselves in domestic fuel..."

Having heard the news, I think:
"But my mother is not included in the number. She died before arrival at hospital and returned home shortly after we recognized she is not alive anymore. No one was aware that she killed herself except the family.

Her funeral was simple and short and I wept for a while alongside my sisters.
No crowd of people, no candle, no flower…

Adding my mother to the number, there are 10 alight women."

My suffering

There are lots of pain and suffering going on around me.
Hungry children, addicted fathers, Disadvantaged mothers, Incurable patients, homeless families, young widows, disabled teens, jobless youth, dying talents…
And I can do nothing.
In this stormy sea I’m standing on a little piece of wood trying to help my family.
The best thing I could do is to rescue my family.
And this is my suffering, my pain.

Civilian Death

A. 14 civilians were killed by ISAF

Karzai:
This is the final warning… If NATO troops continue to bombard Afghan villages, then they would put themselves in the position of the enemies of the Afghan people... And the world knows how Afghans have treated invaders in the past…

ISAF spokesman:
Death of civilians is very very tragic and we are really really sorry…

B. 21 civilians were killed by Taliban

Karzai:
I condemn this event. This is awful. But I want to call again on all afghan Taliban to drop their weapons, to join us. I request Taliban, please come to us. I ask Mullah Sahib Omar, please stop it. We are your brothers, don’t kill us. Please, Please!

Taliban Spokesman:
Yes, today we killed 21 civilians during an operation; I mean a suicide attack, but the targets were afghan soldiers. Luckily we killed also 2 soldiers and our suicide bomber martyred… it was a successful operation which shows our power…
