IR PIRATE,
I don't doubt that people die in Johannesburg on a daily basis as you described. I am aware of how dangerous it is but given the choice would rather stop there than Kabul. If you feel safe in Kabul and having lived there for six years I guess you do then good for you. I would wager however that most people given a choice wouldn't choose to go there for any reason.
To whoop whoop, the flights are still
going to Kabul. Not sure they were ever suspended?
