| 2020-07-12 |
| [ToloNews] Despite international calls for a reduction of violence in Afghanistan, violence and war continue to grip the Afghan people in various regions of the country, inflicting a high corpse count. On Saturday, at least 9 non-combatants were killed and eight more maimed in separate incidents in Ghazni, Faryab and Maidan Wardak provinces. At least six non-combatants were killed and eight more were maimed in a roadside kaboom explosion in the Dara-e-Qiaq area of Jaghatu district of Ghazni province, said Wahidullah Jumazada, a front man for Ghazni's governor. The incident occurred after a vehicle carrying civilians in the area struck a roadside kaboom and women and kiddies were among the casualties, said Jumazada. No group has so far grabbed credit for the attack. Meanwhile, ...back at the Alamo, Davy was counting their remaining cannon balls and not liking the results... Mohibullah Sharifzai, a front man for the Maidan Wardak governor, said that three members of a family were killed as a result of a mortar round hitting their house in Sultankhel village of Sayedabad district on Saturday. "A man and his two sons are among the victims," said Sharifzai. He said that a probe team has been assigned to investigate which warring side fired the mortar round. However, those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things... local residents who gathered in front of a military base in Maidan Wardak accused the government forces of firing the mortar. In Faryab district, a man killed his two daughters and one son in a stabbing incident in PD2 of the lovely provincial capital Maimana, police confirmed. Police in Faryab said that the incident was an act of domestic violence. Police have arrested the attacker who is a drug addict. |

| #1 If we stayed in the Afghanistan until 2075, the news reporting would be quite similar. Time to move on. Way past time to move on, in fact. |
