(Pajhwok): Farida Kochi, who has lost three sons including a four-month-old to war, wants support to go to Qatar and plead with the warring parties for peace. But Kochi, a former senator, is still making strenuous efforts to stretch her scarf (shawl) before the negotiators for making peace and renouncing the war. A member of the Meshrano Jirga (upper house of parliament) from 2010-2018, Farida Kochi is a resident of Balkh province. She is currently living in Kabul. The 50-year-old nomad is acutely aware of the anguish of her compatriots as she has lived in different parts of the country. She has been in Afghanistan in the past four decades of conflict.

If asked, every mother would share harrowing tales and yearning for peace, she adds
