A childhood in war. Thread Among my memories from childhood that still haunt me today are: being stuck in basement in Kabul in the midst of crying adults as rockets were raining in Kabul & competing factions of Mujahideen were fighting each other
Another memory is us fleeing Kabul & seeing blood-stained bodies on the street for the first time. Still haunted by it. Then our torturous journeys on donkeys, on feet, in the midst of gunshots. Hungry, afraid, learning that my parents could not protect us from everything.
I remember when we lived in Mazar. I was terrified of planes. Would always run and hide. Had nightmares about being bombed out and killed. I was maybe 9 or 10. I also remember watching from the crack of door when Taliban came to Sherberghan, we were all terrified.
My father was a leftist & yet imprisoned by d communist regime. My mother’s school was closed by Mujahideen. As a child, I didn’t care who “won”. I just wanted the war to stop. I just wanted to go to school in peace. I wanted to stop worrying about my parents & loved ones.
As a mom, I want this war to end. I want Taliban to stop this madness that is costing so many lives, civilians & combatants. Talks now. I want d attacks to stop, d airstrikes,d fighting. I don’t want more children reliving my childhood. War has no winners. It has all been loss.
It will definitely end and ur country 
will be on winning side
But most of your young hood spent in the US invaders embassy
Problem is many powerful entities controlling this situation..
my sister, Shahzad Akbar,we have been at war for 40years, a war that has stolen everything,our morals and our knowledge, we cannot think clearly,a war that poisons the whole country and traumatizes and terrorizes people didn't start this damn war and we didn't attack a country1/2
We have only been defending ourselves against terrorism and the aggressor of terrorists for 40 years. the question is, if we stop defending, will we stop the 40 Years War? and can live in peace under the Taliban? 2/2
You are too careful with what you write and the selection of words. I feel you only speak for yourself and not as a representative of a whole nation caught up in a proxy war of Pakistan through Taliban.
Speak up & say #EndProxyWar #SanctionPakistan
