Life in Post-invasion Afghanistan
In late 2001, Zaynab's father ran into al-Bahr in Kabul and told him that he should either return to his wife and daughter, or consent to a divorce. After receiving written reassurance from Zaynab that she would not seek any form of restitution, he agreed to a formal divorce.
In January 2002, she took Abdulkareem and Safia to Lahore for a stay at the hospital, where her daughter needed medical attention. Abdullah later joined them, since he required surgery to remove cartilage from his nose.
In 2003, Zaynab, her daughter and her mother stayed at a house in Birmal, Pakistan for two days, before their hosts grew wary of American jets overhead, and they moved further into the mountains of Waziristan.

Famous quotes containing the words life in and/or life:
“Thus was my first year’s life in the woods completed; and the second year was similar to it. I finally left Walden September 6th, 1847.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Anarchism is the only philosophy which brings man the consciousness of himself; which maintains that God, the State, and society are non-existent, that their promises are null and void, since they can be fulfilled only through man’s subordination.... The individual is the heart of society, conserving the essence of social life; society is the lungs which are distributing the element to keep the life essence—that, is, the individual—pure and strong.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
