Reopening schools in the shadow of the absence of students who fell victims of oppression and war

Reporting by Alina Farhadi

The small shoes left among the ashes of war and oppression are a bitter testimony to the bare reality of these days: hundreds of students will not return to their desks.

The children whose names are not registered in the presence-absence office, but in the black and painful lists of victims caused by war and oppression, are the first victims of crises that they had no role in creating.

The air strike and the firing of two Tomahawk missiles at the Shajra Taiba Girls' Primary School in Minab in March 1404 marked the most terrible tragedy; The disaster claimed the lives of 168 children in one moment, an event that the UN fact-finding committee report called a blind and indiscriminate ground attack due to extreme indifference and failure to observe the principles of discrimination and precaution, and declared that the US had committed a war crime with this action.
