The burial of
Agha Nauroz Ahmadzai in Kalat, Balochistan, Jul 16, 2008
|
| The
editors of thebaluch.com extend their deepest condolences
to the Ahmadzai family for the loss of Agha Nauroz,
son of Prince Musa Ahmadzai. It is with great sorrow
that we write these words. In 2006, Agha Nauroz generously
gave of his time to escort us on our travels in Balochistan.
Our memories of Balochistan's towns and wonderful landscapes
are indelibly intertwined with those of Nauroz. His
kind nature and sweet and humble demeanor formed lasting
impressions on us. Nauroz was proud to be Baloch and
had great hopes for a prosperous and peaceful Balochistan.
We believe he personified the great and magnanimous
character of the Baloch people. This most untimely
death greatly saddens us and we mourn his loss. Annie,
Daisann and Wendy. |
