A man who disappeared in Afghanistan 30 years ago is found alive.

A man from village Velyka Hlyusha, Volyn region, Ukraine, who was in the Soviet army and declared missing, was found by a member of the expedition, Andriy Kadun, who searched for Afghanistan's aquifers.

The man is believed to be Ihor Bilokurov who was in the Soviet army and disappeared in Afghanistan in the province of Kandahar on April 9 1988. After waiting and searching for 20 years, his mother came to terms, believed him dead and installed a symbolic grave stone for him. Ten more years passed.

Then an expedition that sought for aquifers in Afghanistan, found him.
"The man could not speak Ukrainian, we talked through the interpreter. He told us he was from Volyn. He did not remember his name. He said he was called Amreddin, he converted to Islam, " said Andriy Kadun, a Ukrainian geophysicist. "But after we parted the translator said that maybe he did it for his own safety."

In Ukraine, Andriy contacted the Afghanistan veteran organisation, and they understood at once who the man was. There were three men from Volyn missing in Afghanistan, but one was later ascertained dead and the other one disappeared in a different region. It had to be Ihor Bilokurov.
There was a flood in the museum to Afghan soldiers last year and strangely enough, only Ihor Bilokur photo was damaged.

His convoy was under severe enemy fire when he disappeared. Probably he was concussed and captured. The mother said that he always wanted to be a soldier, since he was little.
She still can't be 100 per cent sure it's him but Ihor friends and family recognised him.

Ihor can be home in a month or two. He will be ransomed from the captivity and sent to Ukraine. The villagers promised to throw quite a party for him and his mother only wants to hug him once again.
