Like every other Muslim nation in the world, Afghans passionately marked the 10-day mourning ceremonies for the martyrdom of Imam Hussein and his companions. Tasu’a, which falls on the ninth of Muharram and is devoted to Imam Hussein’s half-brother Abulfazl al-Abbas, drew hundreds of mourners to one of Kabul’s old shrines. Attendees listened to clerics’ speeches regarding the battle of Karbala and beat on their chests.
