After fighting each other for years, Taliban and former government soldiers now rehab together in Kabul...
Mohammad Tawfiq, 24, a former soldier from the old Afghan National Army from Panjshir province is moved to a stretcher during a session at a rehabilitation center in Kabul, Afghanistan October 16, 2021. Mohammad Tawfiq, a former soldier from Panjshir province was paralyzed from the waist down after a Taliban ambush in which he was the only survivor of his three-man patrol, he has spent the last three years in bed and still needs support to stand up. As he took in the morning sun, he was philosophical about being treated alongside his former enemies and mainly wanted to be left alone to put the war behind him, but after so many years of fighting it was hard to banish doubts about the future. "The fight is over for me, my fight is over," he said. "I want to live in a peaceful environment, I can talk to anyone now, but I don't think they can rule for a long time."
