“I want to call on the Taliban to agree to peace with us, make peace with us so that the country is developed. We do not want war, we do not want the US and the Russians,” said Jamila.

“I want my son to go to school, we do not have anything at home, my son is sick, we don’t have money to buy medicine,” said Fatima, the widow of Noor Mohammad.

Noor Mohammad’s mother said that no one from the government reached out to offer help.

“No one is there to inquire about them, they are in misery,” said Mohammad Zaman, a relative of Jamila.
