It’s always heartbreaking to lose someone who gave so much to the game.
Shapoor Zadran was a true pioneer for Afghanistan cricket and his passion and commitment will always be remembered.
Sending my deepest condolences to his family and to the entire Afghanistan cricket fraternity.
May his soul rest in peace. 🙏
در سال ۲۰۱۳، #کریستیانو#رونالدو مبلغ ۱۰۰ هزار یورو از جایزهای را که از @EuropaLeague دریافت کرده بود، به کمیته بینالمللی صلیب سرخ اهدا کرد.
این مبلغ به برنامه کمیته بینالمللی صلیب سرخ در #افغانستان اختصاص یافت و برای تأمین اندام های مصنوعی و خدمات صحی، عمدتاً برای قربانیان ماین ها، مورد استفاده قرار گرفت.
چه مرد شریف و بزرگواری!
Tillya Tepe: The Ancient Treasure of #Bactria
For nearly two thousand years, conquerors and kings searched for this great treasure of the ancient world. It was eventually discovered in northern #Afghanistan, near Sheberghan, the capital of Jowzjan Province, by the renowned Soviet archaeologist Victor Ivanovich Sarianidi (1929–2013) after extensive archaeological investigations.
Under his leadership, Afghan and Soviet archaeologists conducted excavations at #TillyaTepe in 1978. As a result, nearly 20,000 gold artifacts were recovered from seven burial tombs. This extraordinary treasure, one of the most valuable archaeological discoveries of the twentieth century, has been dated to approximately the 1st century BCE and the #Kushan period.
The collection includes gold coins, jewelry inlaid with precious stones, pendants, belts, crowns, medallions, swords and daggers, ivory objects, and figurines depicting mythical creatures such as dragons. These artifacts reflect the rich cultural exchanges that once flourished along the ancient #SilkRoads and demonstrate the remarkable craftsmanship of the peoples of ancient Bactria.
In 1989, following a confidential directive issued by the former President of Afghanistan, Dr. Mohammad Najibullah, the Tillya Tepe treasure was transferred from the National Museum in Kabul to secure vaults within the Presidential Palace and the Central Bank due to security concerns. This priceless cultural heritage and enduring symbol of #AfghanHeritage and Afghanistan’s documented history has remained preserved to the present day.

Lakki Marwat, Pakhtunkhwa — Tomb of Khan Zaman Niazi
Khan Zaman Niazi was appointed as the chief of the Niazi tribe in the 18th century by Ahmad Shah Abdali. He accompanied the Afghan ruler on multiple campaigns into India and later was entrusted with the administration of Bannu and its surrounding regions—from Bannu to Mianwali.
His descendants remain spread across Pakhtunkhwa and beyond. Among the most well-known figures from this lineage is Attaullah Khan Esakhelvi.
Are you familiar with this historical figure or his legacy?

A woman in Herat has established a herbal processing center, creating job opportunities for around 500 other women. Many of these women are sole breadwinners
This is exactly the kind of support Afghan women inside the country have consistently called for.
They have asked for direct investment in their work, skills, and ability to sustain their families without any agendas.
#Historical_Notes📖
At that time, Waziristan was part of Afghanistan.
Malik Angoor Khan, a Waziristani tribal leader, held a first-class (most prestigious political) royal passport in 1954.
The late Haji Angoor Khan and his family were among the anti-British Waziristani figures during the Third Anglo-Afghan War, and Waziristan’s Angoor Adda is named after him.
He belonged to the Baramel tribe and the Yargul Khel of the Wazirs and was the leader of the tribal militia. During the reign of the late Nadir Khan, he was granted a monthly salary of 4,000 Afghanis and leadership over the civil division. Mohammad Zahir Khan sent all these tribal leaders on Hajj at his own expense.
The late Angoor Khan passed away in 1957 at the age of 71 and was buried in Waziristan.
The following information about him is recorded on his passport I have:
•Father’s Name: Nazim Khan
•Nationality: Afghan
•Rank: Civil division leader, militia
•Place: Waziristan
•Destination: Arabia
•Purpose of Travel: Hajj, by airplane
This passport is written in French and Pashto.
Due to the deep ties between the people of Waziristan and Afghanistan, neither British India nor later Pakistan were ever able to take control of Waziristan.
#WATCH | Jerusalem, Israel: On Pakistan’s role as mediator in the war in West Asia, Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, Special Envoy, Foreign Ministry of Israel, says, "I don't know what the Pakistanis think they're doing. I think they're trying to make themselves relevant. They are themselves a huge problem in the world of jihadi terrorism. But they can try. I'm not sure they'll be very successful. I think they just want to shove themselves in the middle of something relevant at the moment."
Pakistan on one hand presents itself as a mediator for peace talks between Iran, Israel & the US while on the other hand killing innocent civilians n Afghanistan by bombing & constant shelling. In the past two months hundreds of civilians have been killed or injured by Pak forces
A Pakistani airstrike on a drug treatment center in Afghanistan on March 16 was an unlawful attack and a possible war crime.
Pakistani authorities should investigate the incident and hold all those responsible for wrongdoing to account. https://t.co/NOn3uMzqLV
