"Kami tetap meringkuk seperti itu sampai dini hari. Penembakan dan ledakan berlangsung kurang dari satu jam, tetapi mereka sangat menakutkan kami, karena tidak ada di antara kami yang pernah mendengar suara tembakan di jalanan. Bagi kami itu suara asing. Generasi anak-anak Afghanistan yang telinganya tidak tahu apa-apa selain suara bom dan tembakan belum lahir."

We stayed huddled that way until the early hours of the morning. The shootings and explosions had lasted less than an hour, but they had frightened us badly, because none of us had ever heard gunshots in the streets. They were foreign sounds to us then. The generation of Afghan children whose ears would know nothing but the sounds of bombs and gunfire was not yet born.
