To what extent does Sohrab represent the struggles that Afghanistan has faced and still faces?

Sohrab is Hassan's son, and he grows up in a violent environment and is molested by an evil Taliban officer named Assef. From a young age, Sohrab has witnessed atrocities and endured traumatic experiences living in the Taliban-occupied city of Kabul. When Amir tells Sohrab that he is briefly going to put him in an orphanage, Sohrab tries to commit suicide. After Amir successfully adopts Sohrab and takes him to America, Sohrab barely speaks and seems detached from reality. Sohrab's mental state and distant behavior are a result of his traumatic upbringing. He has given up on life and is damaged by the excessive violence he has witnessed and endured as a child.
Sohrab's well-being and disposition can metaphorically represent the struggles Afghanistan as a country has endured and is yet to face. Similar to Sohrab, the country of Afghanistan has witnessed excessive violence due to numerous wars. This began with the Russian invasion, and the citizens of Afghanistan have witnessed civil wars and are currently still fighting against the Taliban. America has even been militarily involved in Afghanistan and contributed to the violent atmosphere. Sohrab essentially represents the newer generation of Afghans. They were raised around violence and struggle due to excessive abuse and brutality.
