The last cruelty of Soviets in Afghanistan
On Dalwa 24, he was forced to bury 15 relatives. He cried over their bodies.
By Fazal Hadi Hamidi

Anywhere you go to in Afghanistan you will hear sad stories of war. Even if your heart were made of stone these will make you weep. Uncle Malak Shamsudin from Salang testifies*

"It was early morning on Dalwa 24, 1367(early 1988). There was half a metre of snow on the ground. Suddenly there was the sound of rockets and bombs. In the blink of an eye eight of my family members and seven of my uncle's sons were dead. No house was left without martyrs and sadness in Salang."

Malak Shamsudin lived in Salang through the years of unending war. He says he never thought of leaving his country which was "sweeter than everything", and he preferred to die here than lose his homeland.

He survived but he saw death at close quarters. On Dalwa 24, he was forced to bury 15 relatives. He cried over their bodies.

Now 63 years old, he continues to live in the ruins of the house where the bodies were laid out. The bombs almost brought the house down.

Massacre at 4am

He says the Soviet army was retreating after 10 years in Afghanistan. "They came to us and told us that they were passing through, and would not attack. But the government had told them an attack (by mujahedin) was possible and they should take strong security action. We were preparing for the morning prayer. It was snowing heavily. I did my ablution with warm water, and had just got to the front door when I heard a rocket come and hit the Salang Valley. The Soviets had come. The massacre had started."

It was 4 o'clock in the morning. "The sky had spread a black shawl (mourning) over Salang," says Shamsudin. People were taken out of their houses, cars, mosques, and shops. They were lined up and shot. "Death and doomsday had come," he adds. The shooting continued till 4pm when the Soviets left.

For the next three days the villagers were burying their dead. The Soviets had killed 1,237 people.

"The Russians (as the Soviets were called across Afghanistan) had martyred my father, brother, two nephews, my wife, my three children, 7 of my uncle's sons and numerous villagers," he says. "On this day there was no house that the Russians had not left a martyr."

The valley of Salang was awash in blood. More trouble was on its way.

When the people of Salang took the bodies from Ahangaran village to Olang area, the Afghan military unit (number 18th Dehdadi of Mazar-e-Sharif) did not let them bury the dead in the graveyard.

In search of justice

"We eventually found a small place in the desert and buried the martyrs. The village of Ahangaran was not for the living any more. We moved to the Khenjan area of Baghlan province. We stayed there for four years. No one helped us, and we returned back to our house," he says.

Sorrow hung like a thick cloud over Malak Shamsudin's house. He had taken charge of 20 orphan nephews and relatives. "I am carrying this load now as well," he says. "No humanitarian organisation has come here to ask me my story of my martyrs. I have financial problems. I know that if the Russians (Soviets) killed us Afghans were also involved. I know they (Afghans) are in the government (Hamid Karzai government). I request the government to arrest these people."

Shamsudin is still in search of justice 25 years later. "The government should ask me. I will show (identify the guilty) one by one. For the sake of God don't give big positions to murderers of innocent people in Salang. Otherwise we would be sorrowful about the blood of our martyrs."

The massacre in the Salang Valley was the final act of revenge by the Soviets on the oppressed Afghan nation. Two days later the last military unit left Afghanistan via the Hairatan border.

The departing troops were led by a Soviet general who is believed to have said he was not able to look back as he crossed the Hairatan Bridge. "I feel uneasy in my body because I see darkness and a bleak future in front (future) and a destroyed history at the back (past)," he is quoted as saying.

The victory of the Afghan nation over Russia (forcing the Soviets to exit) was not an easy victory. It was due to the heroism of countless brave Afghans and mujahedin armed by the United States, the Soviet Union's cold war rival. According to Malak Shamsuddin, the impact of the Jehad in Afghanistan forced the "Russians" to acknowledge the grave mistake in attacking Afghanistan. The defeat can be a good lesson for others, he ends by saying.

[jamahir]

Soviet soldiers attack indiscriminately Afghan village in 1982.

you have embarrassed yourself.

afghanistan should have continued with its socialist government... the soviets only came to thrown away cia puppets.

do you support qaeda and taliban??

brilliant film if you have not seen it and the thread starter hasn't seen it so I highly recommend it.

so another american establishment propaganda film like rambo??

Nothing has changed since then.The Russians are barbarians,uncivilised beasts.They weren't called subhumans for nothing.

you saw your chance here.

 

[Kabira]

Afghanis invited soviets and payed the price.

 

[Superboy]

Title should say Ukrainian scums attack Afghan village. Most of the Soviet troops who fought in Afghanistan were from Ukraine.

Do you feel their pain? Why did they cleanse them from our country? Here is what happened in A.K, the authorities knew EXACTLY who and where they were and gave them no time to pack and took them.

I heard workers building kortis weren't given time to get full payment. The authorities said, get a visa from Afghanistan and then come back and deal with what's owed.

The Afghan businesses have been given time (not sure how long) to sell up, otherwise the government will take it.

The Kashmiris are told to get their act together. If they have ANY resident living in their house, working from outside of A.K and don't register the person with the Police, they will be fined 1 lack rupees and 6 months in jail.

I don't have a problem with new law, we live in Military sensitive region and it's high time ALL of us play a part in the safety our nation.

Where is the UMMAH?

Look buddy illegals are illegals i want them out of Mirpur and out of Azad Kashmir but all repatriations should be humane and voluntary

Bhai-jan, therein lies the problem. Ap sab lorg nationalist ho gayhain. Hum Allah wa rasool as'salathuwas'salaam ko pool juki hain.

What does P-A-K-istan mean? The 'Land of the Pure'. It was created as a haven for the Ummath-al rasool as'salathu was'salaam. No wonder, earthquakes and natural calamities befall on us; we have moved away from our ideals.

I am 100% satisfied by what is happening in the AK to those afghans as they are involved in terrorrism,kidnappings for ransom and drug dealing etc but come on man but after all what happened to these poor people in afghanistan is not justified.

Bhai-jan, this is the most racist and inhumane general statement a person can make. They are human being and deserve respect. So please, don't de-humanise our brothers, sisters, mothers, dads, uncles, they have Allah given rights.

Allah forbid, if a time were to come if you were in their shoes, how would you feel?

I mentioned them as Muslims, however this hospitality is extended to non-Muslims as well. I suggest you read up on the history of Islam and you'll find Jews took refuge with us. The point in history I'm referring to is when the Crusaders over ran us and were butchering Muslims and Jews in Andalusia and we left for Al-Maghrib. The Jews followed us and took refuge in Caliphate.

So, where is the Ummah now?

Ummah is dead

Pakistan was created for the Indian Muslims who wanted to be free from hindu hegemony over them
