A five-minute drive from the cliff where Ben Roberts-Smith allegedly murdered Afghan farmer Ali Jan, there is a small mud-brick room used for storing almonds.

It was in this room, locals say, that a separate group of Australian soldiers killed two Afghan men in a shocking and brutal way.

Despite the intense publicity around the killing of Ali Jan, almost nothing has been heard about what happened in the almond room, and nobody has been held accountable. 

Today, anthropologist and writer Michelle Jasmin Dimasi on what the families of the Afghan men told her about the alleged crimes of Australian soldiers.
