Where the Dust Never Settles: A Waziristani’s Reflection on a Century of Foreign Wars
I was born in Waziristan, a rugged, beautiful region tucked between the jagged folds of the mountains on Pakistan’s northwest frontier. It’s a place where poetry lives in the same breath as war, and the sound of drone engines is as familiar as the call to prayer. To outsiders, Waziristan is often seen only in headlines—tribal, lawless, extremist. But those words barely scratch the surface of a place shaped not by its people’s will alone, but by a legacy of foreign wars that have passed through like storms, leaving behind scars and silence.

Three Wars and a Funeral: A Life Shaped by Foreign Boots on Afghan Soil
They say a man only lives one life. I’ve lived three—each born from war, each ending in silence. My name doesn’t matter, not anymore. What matters is what I saw, what I buried, and what I’ve come to understand. I was born in Kunar province in the winter of 1967, in a village that had more goats than people. My earliest memories were of snowfall, my father’s prayers, and the laughter of my brothers echoing in the narrow valleys. We had no electricity, no paved roads, but we had peace. Briefly.

A Life Between Giants: My Story as an Afghan Fighter
1. A War Before I Could Read I was six when the Soviets rolled into Afghanistan in 1979. I didn’t know what communism was, nor did I care. What I understood was the thunder of tanks that shook our village, the flames that devoured our school, and the day my older brother left with a rifle and never came back.

I Miss The Forever War. Content Warning.
I miss our forever war. I miss my brothers. Even the assholes. Even the dipshits... Even the asshole dipshits. I miss Iraq. God damn I miss Iraq. And it is not in vain that I use His name. Because what could be more damned, and so consistently that the origins of damnation is cosmic. I didn't reach this conclusion in the Bible but from reading the dark dank cells of Kirkuk and the girl's flesh that put grease spots on our HMMWVs that wouldn't ever come out; The cycle of us killing Takfiri, the Taqfiri killing the Iraqi Police, and the Iraqi Police killing us; the fucking miserable fucking heat like the whole fucking place is getting swallowed up by Hell; The kid on the floor flexicuffed looking up at me with no fear in his eyes; The fucking IPs who never leave the station, the ones who kill other IPs, The ones who are so fucking dirty that a crew of Green Peace goofballs with a shipping container full of Dawn dish soap couldn't clean 'em off if they were working around the clock in fucking shifts. Dirty cops. Fuck! Threw a grenade under our truck in their own station probly buried the 2000 lb bomb in the middle of the highway that disintegrated 5 American sons probly assassinated Farras. FUCK. It is indeed damned. I have carried the stink of burning brimstone with me and it won't ever, ever come off. And I don't want it to because

The Last Watch
As the sun began to fade, warm orange and crimson colors were seen scattered across a battered landscape where silence was now dominant. Trees stood like crooked skeletons. Mild and green soil was hardened and scarred by the war.. Soft screams were heard in the fields, but the breeze was too gentle for their surroundings.
