[ToloNews] A new wave of violence in five provinces over the last 24 hours killed at least 20 civilians and maimed 34 others.
One of the incidents was a magnetic IED blast that targeted a bus carrying lecturers and employees of Alberoni University in Parwan province on Saturday evening. Maiwand Frooq Nijrabi, a medicine faculty lecturer at the university, was among those killed in the incident along with three of his colleagues. He was laid to rest in Kabul on Monday. 17 more people were reportedly maimed in the incident.
"The daily violence takes our youth, religious scholars and soldiers. If this continues, we will witness a dangerous crisis," said Moeen Mirzada, a relative of Maiwand Farooq Nijrabi.
"The enemy is not committed to any Islamic or human law," said Fayiq Azimi, a relative of Nijrabi.
