RASC News Agency: A young boy in the Almar district of Faryab province took his own life, according to local sources. The incident occurred on November 4th in “Hazara Qeshlaq” village in Almar district. The sources identified the boy as Mohammad Maruf, who was only 16 years old at the time.
The exact reason behind his suicide remains unknown, as no further details have been provided regarding the nature of the domestic violence he experienced. The Taliban officials in Faryab province have not yet commented on this incident.
Another 16-year-old boy in Gerziwan district also ended his life after being threatened by his father. These incidents shed light on the alarming rise in suicides, particularly among young people, in Afghanistan. Factors such as family violence, mental illnesses, and the immense mental pressure caused by the country’s dire economic situation contribute to this devastating phenomenon.
Experts suggest that addressing mental health issues, creating a supportive work environment, improving access to education, and promoting literacy can play a crucial role in reducing the prevalence of suicide. It is essential for the government and relevant organizations to implement mental health programs and provide the necessary resources to combat this growing crisis.
In addition, efforts should be made to alleviate the economic hardships faced by families, as financial stability can significantly impact the mental well-being of individuals.
The absence of any policy or framework within the Taliban group to address and mitigate such incidents in the future poses a significant challenge. The Taliban group’s takeover of the country has resulted in numerous difficulties for the citizens.
