KABUL - President Ashraf Ghani has invited the family of a fallen Afghan soldier, killed in battle in eastern Kunar province, to meet him in Kabul.This comes a day after TOLOnews broadcast the story of the family, from north-eastern Badakhshan province, who appealed to government for help.

The family lost Rahimullah, a 24-year-old Afghan Public Protection Force (APPF) member in a Taliban attack two weeks ago. Rahimullah had served his country for four years.

According to Rahimullah's family, the Presidential Palace told them that they will give them an apartment with four rooms.

"I am very happy now that I am going to meet the president and I will tell the story of Rahimullah to President Ghani - what he has done and how he was killed," Rahimullah's mother Fatima said.

Rahimuallah's brother also praised Ghani's action and said: "My brother was killed two weeks ago and after TOLOnews broadcast our story the president called us and invited us to Kabul. He [the president] will help Rahimullah's children," he said.

The young security force member had spent most of his four years fighting on the frontline and was known to be honest and patriotic. Rahimullah, who was married with two children, was the family's sole breadwinner. Today, his family has taken on the responsibility of raising his children but on Monday appealed to government to help.

Rahimullah's mother says that her son sacrificed his life to defend Afghanistan's national sovereignty, freedom and territorial integrity. (Tolonews)
