Jan Ali dies to save lives but no one saves his kids’ lives

--Recent clash killed 15 innocents and wounded 30, and Karzai paid condolences to some families who lost their members but not to all. Why not to all? It is Afghanistan--

It is past midnight now and I started to write this short not in this page as I saw this picture uploaded by a friend on Facebook.

Below is the photo of Jan Ali on his funeral day in his home. He as a loyal Hazara policeman endangered his life in the recent clash in Kabul to save others’, and finally did. His old father is standing with Ali’s kids crying for Ali Jan with not making any noise ‘as heard from a friend’. What is extremely unfair is that the dogmatic government pays deep condolences to the family of another policeman who was also killed with Ali Jan at the same battle, but not to Jan Ali’s family. Why? Well, that is how it is. The other man might be either someone from a major ethnic group in the country or he has someone in a higher position in the ‘jangly’ government of Afghanistan.

It  makes me feel insomniac for the night thinking and knowing that things in my country go horribly against the rules of human societies, while people in the world live their 21^st Century Lives, living as humanly peaceful and as best as they can.

Not because I’m an Afghan, but because I am a human being, I don’t feel comfortable knowing that Jan Ali and hundred similar men endanger their lives to serve others, and finally get killed by some non-human Talib, and the government officials don’t even send a message of sympathy to their wives and kids.

I think it is time for Afghanistan to either be removed from the map of the world ‘by God knows what power’ or corrected and things to get changed soon! This unbearable situation in general for most of the people but in particular for minorities like Hazaras and Uzbeks has been on-going ever since the first battles started decades ago. After 2001 people were hoping that things would change wholly. Well, they have but not really! I believe this dirty and grim war is still going on and off. The only difference is that it used to be done in groups, but now, in the worst way by some fanatic extremist zealous Taliban who have been addressed as ‘our angry brothers’ by the president of the country, Karzai, in press conferences!
