My name is Fawad, and my mother tells me I was born under the shadow of the Taliban.Because she said no more, I imagined her stepping out of the sunshine and into the dark, crouching in a corner to protect the stomach that was hiding me, while a man with a stick watched over us, ready to beat me into the world.
