Afghanistan once again troubled by terrorist acts on the general public. Bombs, a devastating weapon that will demolish all in its way, thus leaving a horrid aftermath, one worse than expected, hands, feet — even a head,” says Mohammadi who was faced this while cleaning up the streets. This has happened all to often, almost to the point of this being expected with over 3,440 citizens dying last year because of similar attacks. One of the most recent attacks had an ambulance carrying a load of explosives, after detonating 235 were left wounded and 105 deceased, then after 250 were left to clean the gruesome scene thus repairing it and leaving it for another attack. Often the cleaners have the most difficult job having to carry what remains of people to unmarked graves. Not only does the bombings take a toll on the physical side of the population, it also has a strong effect on the mental part. Often time cleaners are unsure of how to handle the situation and with the small pay of $110, even if there was a mental care center, they could not afford it.
These are people too, that have to face the day in day out job of cleaning such a brutal mess. Though I know action is being taken to stop this and its easier said then done, no one is winning is this case, people are only being hurt. We’re all people, we’re al humans, why cant people put aside their differences, why does the government continue to run in turmoil and allows this to happen by just cleaning the streets and prepping it for another attack. Removing the after math wont solve the problem, you must solve it at its root.
