War and violence are sure to leave a deep impact on the nation and its society at large. Afghanistan has endured decades of violence. It is now desperately struggling to leave its gruesome past behind and move towards peace.
In a recent development, Afghan authorities decided to ban toy guns which fire BB pellets and rubber shot. These guns have led to eye injuries in 184 people during the Eid ul-fitr holiday, which includes mostly children.
Ever since the ban came into effect, police have been instructed to search shops and seize toy guns from children. Parents welcomed the ban as a step towards reducing violence in the country marred by the Taliban insurgency.
