Garmsir, Afghanistan
An Anatomy of an Airstrike: Case Study -Garmsir, Afghanistan aoav.org.uk/2021/an-anatomy-of-an-airstrike-case-study-garmsir-afghanistan July 7, 2021 Garmsir, Helmand Province, Afghanistan. (Google Maps) For Abdul Ahad, the evening of the 27th November 2018 began with a traditional Landay, a gathering of his extended relatives for a familial feast of mutton. This would’ve been more than just a meal. The freshly cooked meat, a rare reprieve from the daily staples of bread and yoghurt, bringing comfort, warmth and energy to get through the cold winter months ahead. Later that night, a kilometre down the road from Abdul’s, his older brother Aktar along with his wife Bibi Ghoncha, his sister, adult children, their partners and their own children. The family had just celebrated the birth of one-month-old Muslima, the first child of Aktar and Bibi’s youngest son Jan Mohammad, 22. Around 10pm, Abdul heard sounds from outside, including gunfire and helicopters. He went to look and saw a car fleeing the scene and heading down the road towards his brother’s house, Abdul correctly assuming it contained members of the Taliban. 1/5 What he didn’t know was that the Afghan-American special forces team they were fleeing had called in an airstrike from their US Air Force above. Within minutes, a devastating amount of highly explosive material would be heading bearing down on his brother’s house. (Right: Abdul Ahad) It killed nearly everyone inside. 22 members of the family, over three generations, were wiped out instantly. -

Heavy snowfall led to avalanch- es and blocked roads especially in Northern provinces in Afghanistan. Heavy rain- fall and floods added to the misery of Afghans. The heat of the Quran burning issue spread across the nation, making the lives of Afghan citizens even more miserable. Even though U.S authorities, including U.S President Barrack Obama, apologised on 21 February regarding the burning at a U.S military base of religious texts, which contained extremist contents, violent demonstrations marred the lives of many Afghans. That said, the NATO force pullout plan and handing over of the duties to Afghan forces was the main talking point of the month. Pullout Plans As part of the withdrawal plan, U.S Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on 1 Feb announced the intention to hand the lead combat role to Afghan Forces next year. This is a significant development for Afghanistan, considering the controversial U.S-led night raids which have caused much controversy.
