The recent history of Afghanistan has been marked by a period of grave conflicts, power wars, and wars that devastated the country, influenced its development, caused humanitarian crises and severe suffering to millions of civilians. Today's wars demand more and more fatalities and injuries precisely among the civilian population, who must in order to survive use different tactics. The choice of these tactics and strategies is influenced by a number of factors, and the most important role in the selection plays the individual himself. Running away is one of the strategies that is best known and most commonly used by the civilian population in wars. Consequently, we are faced with a lot of data on the number of displaced people, the consequences of migration for countries and the risks that countries and migrants face. Despite the fact that the effects of wars are most felt by the people, there is very little knowledge about civilians who decide to stay in the area of turmoil and the strategies that they use daily to avoid danger and to enable survival for themselves and their loved ones. The use of different strategies does not guarantee that the civilian population will survive, but they are part of a plan on how to survive in an environment that is harmful for the individual and what kind of action should be selected so that security threats can be avoided. For the people of Afghanistan, wars have become part of everyday life and a way of life at the same time. Regardless of the many rich experiences that have been gained through years of wars and riots, there is no universal strategy for reaching the civilian population’s ultimate goal of survival.
