Afghans clinging to a 'normal life' despite bloodshed

The Afghan capital Kabul has suffered a series of attacks this month that have left dozens of people dead.

The Taliban says it is behind most of the violence, and it is believed to be linked to the current splits within the group after the death of their leader Mullah Omar.

The violence has raised questions about the ability of Afghan security forces to stop such attacks after the majority of coalition forces withdrew last year.

The BBC's Shaimaa Khalil met the people affected by the recent bloodshed.
