Why a railway network in Afghanistan?

The Afghan Government can send a strong signal to all Afghans that the time of corruption in Afghanistan is over

The European Union (EU) anticorruption campaign put the judiciary on agenda for its annual anticorruption drive from Sunday 26 till April 2 focusing on judicial corruption in Afghanistan, said a statement from the EU mission in Afghanistan on Sunday. Written by Heart of Asia Afghan's saw the judiciary as the most corrupt part of public administration in Afghanistan. Therefore the EU in Afghanistan again put corruption in the judiciary on the agenda of its annual anti-corruption campaign. "The Afghan people cry for justice and rule of law. The need for reform is long overdue. Although we have seen some improvements in the justice sector – in the Attorney General's Office with the Anti-Corruption Justice Centre -it is very clear that reforms are too slow,” read the statement. It added ending impunity was the way to end corruption. However, the justice system itself was corrupt. The judicial system must clean up its own ranks and bring in new staff in through merit based re

Ambasciata d’Italia a Kabul, Afghanistan

L’Ambasciata d’Italia a Kabul è tra le più grandi Missioni bilaterali italiane in Asia Centrale. Il Capo Missione è l’Ambasciatore Roberto Cantone, che il 16 maggio 2016 ha presentato le lettere credenziali al Presidente dell'Afghanistan, S.E. Ashraf Ghani. In base alla Convenzione di Vienna sulle relazioni diplomatiche del 18 aprile 1961, le funzioni dell’Ambasciata sono, tra le altre, di: rappresentare l’Italia in Afghanistan; proteggere gli interessi dell’Italia e dei suoi cittadini, nei limiti ammessi dal diritto internazionale; negoziare con il governo dell’Afghanistan; informarsi, con ogni mezzo lecito, delle condizioni e dell’evoluzione degli avvenimenti in Afghanistan e riferire allo Stato italiano; promuovere relazioni amichevoli e sviluppare le relazioni economiche, culturali e scientifiche tra l’Italia e l’Afghanistan.

First specialized surgical center for pediatric, newborn cardiac deformities established in the Afghan capital with the financial support of Italy

The Ministry of Public Health of Afghanistan has established the first specialized surgical center for pediatric, newborn cardiac deformities at the Indira Gandhi Child Health Hospital in the capital Kabul.  The center was established with financial support from Italy, the Health Ministry said in a statement. Italy has provided 3.2 million Euros for the construction of the center, staff training and installation of the equipment, the statement said. “With the establishment of the center a significant number of children who need to undergo heart surgery will not have to refer to the high cost for treatment to abroad,"   Health Minister Feroz said. According to the statement, annually, a huge number of children and infants who are suffering from cardiac deformities travel to foreign countries for treatment. However, the establishment of new specialized health facilities will not meet the health needs of the citizens but it will also improve the quality of the health services. "

Afghanistan no longer threatened by Pakistan blocking trade routes

The President of Afghanistan, Ashraf Ghani, said the enemies will no longer threat Afghanistan by blocking trade routes as the country has alternative routes to rely on. These remarks were made during a gathering in the provincial capital of Balkh province, Mazar-e-Sharif, which has historically been a trade hub owed to its strategic location on the major Silk Road routes. President Ghani highlighted the geographic importance of Afghanistan and said the country is an inseparable part of the Central Asia. This comes as Pakistan has several times shut down its borders on Afghanistan following a political rift between Islamabad and Kabul. The recent border closures by Pakistan has inflicted millions of dollars of losses onto the Afghan economy. The routes were opened last week after three weeks of closure. ▂ ▃ ▅ ▆  T HE CONTENT OF THIS BLOG IS NOT INTENDED TO CAUSE HARM, but if You have any concerns about the contents of this Blog, contact me by filling out the email form below.

The northern Afghan province of Balkh will become major business hub

Balkh province will turn into intersection of Asia and Central Asia, President Ashraf Ghani said during his visit to the northern province. “I assure you that ancient Balkh will again turn into intersection of Asia and Central Asia,”   H.E. President Ghani said during an event in the province to inaugurate new academic year and Noor Hall. He added that Balkh will turn into "a major business hub among Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Central Asia and Russia.”   Balkh, Kunduz and Herat will be connected through railway as China links with Iran. President Ghani also hinted at Pakistan’s closure of border, suggesting that Afghanistan is not solely dependent on trade with the eastern neighbor. “We have several routes… pessimistic people thought that there will be protest in Kabul due to lack of flour. The people of Kabul will not protest,”   he pointed out. On security, the President of Afghanistan said that the 4-year security plan has clearly defined who is friend and who is foe, adding all

Kabul invita la Russia ad investire nella ricostruzione di importanti infrastrutture realizzate in Afghanistan da specialisti sovietici

Kabul ha proposto a Mosca di investire in 124 progetti per sostenere l’economia afghana.  "Molte infrastrutture in Afghanistan sono state realizzate da specialisti sovietici e possono essere ricostruite dalla Russia. Sono più di 100; 124 per l'esattezza. Tra questi ci sono: il tunnel ‘Salang', l'industria di panificazione di Kabul, l'università politecnica, l'industria di riparazione automobili ‘Dzhangalak', la centrale elettrica di Pul-i-Khumri" ,  ha spiegato Mohammad Qasim, addetto per gli affari economici e commerciali dell'ambasciata dell'Afghanistan a Mosca. Il Dott. Quasim ha osservato che il tema della ripresa dell'economia afghana è stato già trattato in occasione dell'incontro tra l'ambasciatore dell'Afghanistan a Mosca Abdul Kochan e il viceministro dell'Energia russo Yurij Sentyurin. Quest'ultimo ha assicurato che ci sono circa 30 aziende russe pronte ad investire nella ricostruzione delle infrastrutture afg

L'esercito degli Stati Uniti continua ad uccidere civili in Afghanistan

Nel marzo del 2014, l’esercito degli Stati Uniti ha pagato a un uomo afgano poco più di mille dollari come risarcimento per aver ucciso suo figlio, un civile, nel corso di un’operazione vicino al confine con l’Iran. È quel che emerge da alcuni documenti dell’esercito statunitense. Sei mesi dopo, l’esercito statunitense ha versato diecimila dollari a un altro afgano dopo che il figlio, anche lui un civile, è stato ucciso durante un’operazione guidata dagli Stati Uniti nella stessa provincia. Haji Allah Dad, 68 anni, ha perso in tutto venti familiari, tra cui il fratello e la cognata, in seguito a un’operazione delle forze speciali statunitensi e afgane vicino alla città settentrionale di Kunduz, nel settembre del 2016. Allah Dad ha dichiarato di aver ricevuto un risarcimento solo dal governo afgano e non da quello statunitense. Quasi 16 anni dopo aver invaso l’Afghanistan, gli Stati Uniti non hanno ancora delle procedure uniformi per il riconoscimento dei risarcimenti economici alle fa

Rap artist wins 12th edition of Afghan Star

The entire Afghanistan sat to watch the grand finale of the 12th edition of Afghan Star–Afghanistan’s “pop idol”–on Nawruz. This year’s Afghan Star edition stood out the most. For the first time in the history of the show a female singer reached the final, defying widespread social stigma attached to women performers. The 18-year old singer Zulala Hashemi participated in the auditions from Nangarhar, one of the deeply conservative provinces in the east of Afghanistan. Lema Sahar came in third place in 2008, but since then no woman has gone beyond the top eighth or seventh. Hashemi’s rival in the grand finale was barber-turned rapper, Sayed Jamal Mubarez, from the minority Hazara community. Mubarez won viewers over with his songs reflecting on the misery of Afghan youth suffering from years of war in Afghanistan, the failure of the government, the sacrifice of Afghan army and at the same capturing the hope the people cling to. Working as a barber in northern Mazar-e-Sharif, Mubarez

Afghanistan is one of the main victims of Pakistan-based terror groups

Islamabad’s support of terrorist and extremist groups is no longer a hidden agenda. Pakistan’s name is tied to the term of state-sponsorship of terrorism in one way or another, and the country has continued throughout its history to use terror groups as proxy forces against its neighbors to achieve its malign interests and ends. Afghanistan and India are the main victims of Pakistan-based terror groups. The culprits of any disruptive and terror activities in the two countries are in some way linked to Pakistan, a country that has long backed, trained and bankrolled terror groups, but is yet to face serious international pressure. Recently, a US senator has launched a serious anti-Pakistan campaign, and also introduced a bill in US Congress to label Pakistan as a state sponsor of terrorism. Hailing from Taxes, Senator Ted Poe, who is also the Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Terrorism, has called on the Trump administration to determine whether or not Pakistan is state sponsor of t

По его словам, боевики не просто собирают фисташки и зарабатывают на них, но и вырубают деревья, уничтожая леса, и борьба с ними существенно затруднена. ▂ ▃ ▅ ▆  T HE CONTENT OF THIS BLOG IS NOT INTENDED TO CAUSE HARM, but if You have any concerns about the contents of this Blog, contact me by filling out the email form below.

BUON ANNO NUOVO, AFGHANISTAN !!!

L'arrivo della primavera segna l'inizio del nuovo anno in Afghanistan (anno 1396), Iran e in altre zone del Medio Oriente e dell'Asia centrale. Una festa antichissima legata alla religione zoroastriana. *** FELICE 1396 ! *** L’arrivo della primavera segna l’inizia del nuovo anno in Iran e Afghanistan. In questi due Paesi vige infatti Il calendario persiano, noto anche come calendario di Jalaali. Si tratta di un calendario solare che stabilisce gli anni bisestili non mediante una regola numerica, ma sulla base dell’osservazione dell’equinozio di primavera. L’inizio del nuovo anno non cade automaticamente ogni 21 marzo, ma varia di volta in volta. Il calendario persiano è senza dubbio più esatto dal punto di vista scientifico, con un margine di errore di un giorno ogni 141.000 anni. Il calendario gregoriano, in uso in Occidente, ha invece un giorno di errore ogni 3.226 anni. I persiani furono il primo popolo a preferire il ciclo solare al ciclo lunare. Nella cultura zoro

Sustainable use of ground water in Kabul, Afghanistan

The Social Association of Journalists in North Afghanistan (SAJNA) and the Afghan-German Cooperation hosted a media meeting on sustainable ground water usage Kabul. Four Afghan ground water experts and more than 70 media representatives attended the event.

The participants included the Director of the Ministry of Energy and Water’s (MEW) Hydro-geology Department, the Director of the Afghanistan Urban Water Supply and Sewerage Corporation (AUWSSC), the KfW water project coordinator as well as a civil society activist. MEW’s Director of the Department of Hydrogeology, Eng. Mohammad Naeem Tokhi, said: “Especially in large cities like Kabul, ground water faces two major threats: over-exploitation and pollution.” Eng.

Italian organization Emergency treated over 5 million people in Afghanistan

Since December 1999, the independent Italian organization Emergency has treated over 5,280,000 people (as of December 31, 2016) in the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. In over 40 years, war in Afghanistan has caused one and a half million dead, hundreds of thousands of wounded and disabled, in addition to more than four million displaced people. The most recent war, which began in October 2001, continues to injure, kill and destroy. And on the ground there is still the legacy of previous wars: landmines and unexploded devices continue to maim children and adults, mostly civilians. Since 1999, EMERGENCY has been active in Afghanistan and has built and managed a Surgical and Medical Centre and a Maternity Centre in the Panjshir Valley, a Surgical Centre in Kabul, a Surgical Centre in Lashkar-gah, a network of First Aid Posts and Health Centres, a programme of medical assistance to the inmates of the largest prisons in the country. http://www.emergency.it/afghanistan/en-index.html

Challenges and opportunities in the construction sector of Afghanistan

A survey by Construction Sector Transparency Initiative Afghanistan (CSTIA) segment of the Integrity Watch Afghanistan (IWA) has revealed that billions of dollars had been embezzled over the past 15 years in construction projects. According to a statement from the CSTA, the survey was completed in 10 months with collaboration from GIZ. The investigation assessed challenges and available opportunities in the construction sector of Afghanistan.

Addressing a press conference on last Thursday, Economy minister and the Head of CSTIA highlighted low capacity, late payments by donors, problems in procurement area, insecurity and limited resources as some of the challenges facing the construction sector. CSTIA Coordinator said some projects were awarded to companies based on favoritism and did not go throug

Afghanistan launched a campaign to plant more than two millions of trees across the country in one week

The campaign was started in a ceremony in Qargha, a recreational area, west Kabul, with Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah calling on citizens to plant more trees to make the environment greener. Considering growing population and air pollution, planting trees is of vital importance, he said. He noted that planting trees and preventing air pollution is not only the duty of government authorities, but of all Afghans. The director of forestry at the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock, said that the ministry has readied over 2 million trees for planting in different provinces of the country. In Kabul in particular, the program aims to create a greenbelt with over 20,000 trees. The tree planting near Qargha Lake saw not only government workers but also ordinary men, women and children. “My message to all the people of Afghanistan is that wherever they are, if they could plant a single tree [in first month of spring], they would do a very good job,” said an old woman with sho

Afghanistan and Germany jointly invest nearly 70,000,000 euro for the establishment of a modern Sukuk printing company, allowing the country to print its own money

The modern Sukuk printing company is expected to be built on 22 acres of land in Jangalak industrial township. Jangalak township was initially built in 1960 and was operating in key fields such as metal production, electronics, packaging of car machines and some other fields. More than 1,500 people were working in Jangalak township. It was Afghanistan’s largest industrial site. But the area has been totally destroyed in decades of war and violence. Afghanistan and Germany will provide 70 million Euro for the establishment of the project. “It will be a joint investment in the project. A modern printing industry will be established on 22 acres of land. It will be equipped with modern technology and be able to print the government’s financial certificates,” said Mohammad Ibrahim Shams, chairman government enterprises.

Illegal digging of natural resources in Kapisa, Afghanistan

A high level government delegation comprised of Presidential Palace and some ministries representatives have traveled to central Kapisa province to investigate the illegal excavation of natural resources, an official said.

Afghanistan's economy is worsening and its security deteriorating after the U.S. invests billions of dollars squandered on projects that never came to be

Afghanistan's economy is worsening and its security deteriorating despite more than a decade of reconstruction efforts and over USD 100 billion poured into the country, according to the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), an independent oversight agency created by the U.S. Congress in 2008. The agency's investigation, conducted between October and December of last year, paints a grim picture of the country — including millions of dollars squandered on projects that never came to be, a resurgent Taliban, infiltration by the so-called Islamic State and a handful of guilty pleas from U.S. military personnel in bribery cases. ▂ ▃ ▅ ▆  T HE CONTENT OF THIS BLOG IS NOT INTENDED TO CAUSE HARM, but if You have any concerns about the contents of this Blog, contact me by filling out the email form below.

An elite class that has gotten fat off of the aid money that has flooded the country since the US invasion in 2001

The Impossible Job of Afghanistan's Attorney General Written by  May Jeong Last April, Mohammad Farid Hamidi, Afghanistan’s 49-year-old Attorney General, made an unprecedented pledge: From eight in the morning until eight in the evening each Monday, he would meet with anyone seeking legal counsel. On some days, this meant seeing as many as 200 petitioners. Hamidi, who came into power in April 2016, called the practice morajein-e roz, or the day of the petitioners. On a brisk Monday morning last November, scores of Afghans meandered outside the attorney general’s office in downtown Kabul, hoping for an audience with Hamidi. Some dressed in western-style suits befitting the urban upper middle class, others in more traditional garb. A handful of the men who showed up worked down the street from the building, while others had traveled for days. Others still had packed snacks or lugged caches of paperwork that had accumulated over the course of their legal battles with venal local
