Covering conflict: How a journalist in Afghanistan sees past bombings

Longtime Monitor correspondent Scott Peterson knows Afghanistan better than most. He’s been covering the war-torn country for two decades.  This week, Scott brings to light a story from Kabul that stems from a trip he took two years ago. On the surface, it’s a familiar tale: the assassination of a judge gunned down in the street by Taliban recruits. But to Scott, Judge Qadria Yasini was more than a political target. She was the mother of a teen who had once jostled for Scott’s attention during a reporting trip to a school north of Kabul.  Scott’s visit in 2019 had been brief; he hadn’t wanted to disrupt the school day. 

Afghanistan: A year of violence on the road to peace

BBC News By Joel Gunter image captionWali Yasini lost his mother in a targeted killing, one of hundreds across Afghanistan in the past few months A year ago this week, the Taliban signed a deal with the United States designed, in theory, to pave the road to peace in Afghanistan. It committed the Taliban to preventing attacks on US forces and the US to withdrawing its remaining troops from the country. It did not commit the Taliban to a ceasefire with respect to Afghanistan s government, or its citizens. One Sunday morning last month, Qadria Yasini got ready as usual for work. She put on a new coat and woke her son Wali to say that she had left some money for food. Her driver wound through the Kabul neighbourhood on the way to the office, stopping to collect Yasini s friend and fellow Supreme Court judge, Zakia Herawi.
