The report about Firuz, a 23 year old Afghan boy who burned himself on Saturday at Pashtunistan cross-road of Kabul City after her favorite girl gang raped by a group of unknown men followed reactions in Afghanistan.

The report published for the first time Tuesday night from Ariananews that following the report more than two hundred thousand internet network users shared it, urging the government and people to not remain silence against the incident.

The reflection of the report in social networks was unexpected.

With sharing the report, facebook users, each cried the joint pain and called on standing against injustices.

According to facebook users, Kabul is the capital that everyone does whatever wants.

Afghan people criticize a government which is always said to consider deficient, especially President Ghani and the chief of executive officer Abdullah who have not act as their commitments so far.

The culture will not change until some of those responsible for the worst abuses against the Afghan people are prosecuted. The best option would be for the government itself to pursue some of these abusers. This would increase its legitimacy in the eyes its people and would send a clear warning to those in authority and to those seeking to do deals with the government who believe they can continue to kill with impunity.

Firuz died after he burned himself, but left a letter asking the people to stand firmly against injustice too so they do not face the same situation.

Firuz loved the girl and they were supposed to be engaged but they failed to make their dreams into realities.

Afghanistan is ruled not by law, but by power and patronage. The absence of the rule of law fuels the country’s savage insurgency. When citizens can’t rely on the state to protect them against systemic abuses, then rebellion becomes a far more attractive option. Tragically, in Afghanistan the abusers, more often than not, are from the government itself.

For Afghans, the tragic result is that today’s reality is not much different from that of the last thirty years, and their lives are still dominated by powerful men with guns.
