Taliban is sprouting its head again in Afghanistan and the proof is no less devastating than the news itself. A suicide bomber boarded an army bus only to blow himself up, killing 27 soldiers and injuring several others, proving that Taliban is now once again active in the trouble-torn country.
Afghanistan’s honeymoon with violence and bloodbath continues with sporadic incidents of bombings here and there.
But, a big bomb blast ripped apart the city of Kabul, when a suicide bomber, wearing an army uniform blew himself in the army bus.
Such incidents that target army personnel are only a grim reminder of the fact that the terror groups are still active in Afghanistan and more so send terrifying waves around the country that if the guardians, that is, the army men are themselves not secure, then how safe and protected are the civilians?
The horrendous war and bloodbath continues havocking Afghanistan having already claimed around 5000 lives this year. And not to discount the figures of the dead ever since war on terror initiated by the US began.
Thousands and thousands have died in daily bombings, kidnappings and abductions that have become a new tool for the Taliban militants to kidnap foreign aid workers and demand the release of their militant brothers in jail.
No doubt, the war on terror is into its seventh year, yet the Taliban keeps fighting with full spirits, waging an illegitimate war on the civilians and the foreign troops.
The bloodbath too continues to soak the country in full zeal. Afghanis are still learning to come to terms with the brutal regime of the Taliban that ended after the NATO troops invaded the country.
Yet, attacks such as this, only prove to the world that there is a lot still to be done before we say that Afghanistan has fully recovered from the great tragedy that befell it, because tragedies have become a daily newsmaker in the country.
For how long will such an unholy bloodshed continue wreaking havoc in Afghanistan is a billion dollars question that has no answer in present context.
