The families of two Afghan teenage girls who dreamed of becoming writers before they died during a school suicide bombing have built a small library near their graves.

Two 16-year-old cousins named Hajar Mohammadi and Marzia Mohammadi were killed in a suicide bombing along with at least 23 other victims at a learning centre in the capital city of Kabul in Afghanistan on 30th September.

The devastating deaths of the two studious young teens has now led their families to construct a small library near their graves.

This was after a diary belonging to Marzia was discovered by her uncle following her death.

In one of Marzia’s diary entries, the teen discussed her shared goals with her cousin, her love of books as well as her concerns surrounding the Taliban’s seizure of Kabul in 2021.

She wrote: “Stepped out for the first time since the arrival of the Taliban.

“It was scary and I felt very insecure…

“Today I realised how much I love books and libraries.

“I like seeing the joy on people’s faces reading books.”

The small library was constructed a year later in honour of the promising young teenagers, who both wanted to become writers one day, according to family member Nourieh Mohammadi.

This was after the two cousins and best friends were buried next to each other following their untimely deaths.

The families of Marzia and Hajar now want to build more small libraries in surrounding schools in the area and even plan to set up a website named ‘Marzia and Hajar’ aimed at supporting young female writers, according to reports.

Nourieh added: “This action was carried out in order to fulfil the dreams of Marzieh and Hajar.”
