Bomb Blast: Fortunate Ones

Armed Conflict Dept: Still, Faiz Mohammed Fazul Ahmad could easily have been killed during armed conflict in his former country -as have been two million Afghans since 1978, with one out of five of the dead being a child, according to Vancouver Sun. Most of those exiled Afghans, the largest cohort of refugees the globe has ever seen, have fled to Iran, Pakistan, Russia and India and when he suddenly lifted his sweater to reveal the enormous gaping wound under his arm and the scars on his belly, it was a stretch to think of this gracious Afghan refugee as one of the fortunate ones. Instead, Fazul Ahmad, a former shopkeeper wounded in a bomb blast in Kabul, is "lucky" to be among the seven million Afghans who have survived to become refugees. As reported in the news.
