Genghis Khan’s Battles in Afghanistan Genghis Khan (1) Men, women, and children were slaughtered in Afghanistan. The stomachs were torn if there was a foetus; they searched it with their lances. (2) After that, they started killing dogs, cats, all livestock, cattle, and animals in the Cities of Afghanistan. At last, it was the turn of plants and vegetables. They dug them out with their rods and all flowers and greens were destroyed. (3) According to the order of the mournful Daughter of Genghis, the Bamyan City was flooded with water and then they ploughed it so that there will be no difference between the City and ordinary farmland. (4) Now, it was the turn of towers, walls, houses, etc. which were all demolished to the ground without exception. Agricultural and Irrigation Systems, canals, and dams were destroyed all over Afghanistan that had been built thousands of years ago. (5) Genghis Khan ordered that Afghanistan should be destroyed in such a way that no one should be able to live in it again. (6) He himself left Afghanistan and started to return to his country. He ordered all the slaves and captives who in great numbers were performing different duties in his Army that each one of them should clean 400 mans (1 man = 3 kgs) of rice for his Army. When the captives finished their duties, he ordered that all of them should be massacred in one night. After that, Genghis Khan who had entered Afghanistan in 1221 A.D. by crossing Oxus from Termez Ford, returned through Peshawar and Kirman (presently Kurm), Kabul, Bamyan, Baghlan, and reached Balkh where he noticed that some local people had gathered and built new houses on the ruins of Balkh. He got angry and ordered to demolish all the buildings and slaughter the people like sheep. He then crossed the Oxus in 1222 A.D. and went to Samarkent. G. Nabi Mubtakir Author 24 August 2013
