Editorial Message
Welcome to Safi Airways flight. I am delighted to present you the new issue
of Safi Airways In-flight Magazine, which is the result of me and my colleagues hard work. We hope the contents of this issue will fill every moment
of your flight with joy.
As you may know, lately the process of transferring security responsibilities
from International Forces to Afghan National Army has begun, and passed its
first stage; Afghan citizens ten years of waiting is finally paying off.
Ten years ago, Afghanistan had just recuperated from the miseries of war. It
did not have an army, or a functioning ruling government, but during the past
couple of years, Afghanistan has assumed a democratic system, a parliament
whose members are chosen by nations vote, and an organized National Army
consisting of more than 17,0000 forces. These developments are all due to
cooperation from the International Community, especially the United States of
America.
The power transfer process, which began in July 2011, is in spotlight of media
and political gathering and it is also of extreme significance to people of Afghanistan, because after ten years of hard work, the government has paved the
way for transfer of security responsibilities to the National Army. That is what
Afghans have been waiting for.
Besides these, developments made in education, new governmental and private institutions, making new job opportunities, building infrastructures and
factories in centers of provinces, reconstruction of the belt roads, construction
of new towns, developing business market throughout the country are among
the responsibilities that will be transferred to Afghans along with transfer of
army responsibilities.
Head of the transition Security Responsibilities committee who gave a speech
on the day of transferring responsibilities, said: The government promises
people that the process of transferring security responsibilities is not limited to
army side, but the government is looking forward to planning bigger programs
in the country in order to create more job opportunities.
Nevertheless, Afghan people support Afghan National Army in bringing peace
and they will try hard to defend their country and its independence. Taking
security responsibilities is not only duty of the National Army and National
Police, but every Afghan citizen is responsible, because Afghanistan belongs
to all the Afghans. Each and every Afghan has to prove their loyalty and patriotism, like they have done in old times. They have fought with some of the
greatest powers of their time and assumed their freedom and independence.
Today, they stand beside the National Army and Police to have a free Afghanistan with a faithful National Army and Police. InshaAllah
At the end I appreciate your valuable time spent studying this magazine
should you have any criticize, suggestions or comments that can help improve
quality of the magazine will be warmly welcomed by the management of the
magazine. To share your ideas please email us at info.karoora@gmail.com
Yours Truly,

independence day
Nations, in order to bring light and freedom to their land, sometimes have to embrace
the sun. During the course of history, Afghanistan has had the courage to keep their
independence and freedom for many times and successfully passed the historys test.

Historical
The great Ariana, with more than five
thousand years of history, has witnessed
the courage of its men, and has always
been considered as the birthplace of civilization and culture in east.
Afghanistan gained its independence in
August 18, 1919, and this day is celebrated and commemorated as a turning
point in the history of Afghanistan, since
it granted Afghanistans independence
from Britain.
The warriors who fought for the independence and freedom, saved Afghanistan
from the incursions of British army,
raised Afghanistans flag over the highest
peaks of Hindu Kush and Baba mountains forever, and their act of courage and
gallant will be always remembered by
their successors.
Afghans wars to assume their freedom
and independence was a manifestation of
their courage and patriotism, since they
fought empty-handed against one of the
greatest superpowers of their time and
ensured the freedom of their country by
giving their lives and showed the universe that Afghanistan belongs to them
and their successors.
At that time, the British assumed they
could rule over Afghanistan and its people, but Afghan citizens patriotism and
self-sacrifice, which was a legacy handed
down to them from their ancestors, did
not let the British armys dreams come
true and they returned to their country
empty-handed.
After Afghanistan fought out the British
in year 1919, the young King Amanullah
Khan Ghazi took control and declared independence. A hundred years before that,
Afghans had passed bloody wars with the
colonial empire of the Great Britain.
Location of Afghanistan on the Silk
Route, made it important as the junction
of great civilizations and a great commercial center of its time.
This very important Geostrategic and
Geopolitical location has had an important role in forming a reach cultural
mosaic in Afghanistan like those of
Arians, Greeks, Mesopotamians, and
Indians. From the Paleolithic to different
ages of history, people of Afghanistan,
also known as Arians of ancient east,

Historical Identity
National Museum, Afghanistans historical identity
Afghanistans National Museum, which is considered
one of the most valuable treasuries of the Central Asia, is
holder of some invaluable objects.
Antiquities, stone sculptors, coins some of which are more
than 1000 years old, old manuscripts, paintings, and dozens of other precious objects are kept at this museum.
Afghanistan National Museum was founded in 1297 Hijri
Khorshidi in Bagh-e Bala District of Kabul.
During the first years of its foundation, the museum was
called Ajayib Khana (House of Wonders). At that time
the House of Wonders contained old Manuscripts of
Quran, Handicraft pieces, objects remaining from the independence wars periods, and some rare books.
In year 1303 Khorshidi, The National Museum was moved
from Bagh-e Bala to Arg of Kabul and officially inaugurated by King Amanullah Khan.
Afghanistans first constitution, which was passed during
Amanullah Khan, had a comprehensive article regarding
excavations, restraining historical objects, and a place
designated for that purpose.
According to this law, it was decided that an Excavation and Museum Bureau work under the supervisions of
Ministry of Education. One of the most important duties of
this bureau was to discover, secure, and move the objects
to National Museum.
Since Afghan government did not have the required facilities and manpower to conduct excavations, it signed a
contract with Government of France.
According to the contract, it was agreed upon that a French
party, under the supervision of Monsieur Fooshe, help
Afghan archaeologists in excavations and discoveries.
This contract gave the French the right to take one of two

Objects from the Islamic period made up another important section of the museum. Some of the most important
pieces were a Quran manuscript written by Osman bin-e
Offan, Calligraphy of Some verses Quran by Imam Hasan,
and another Quran in Koofi Calligraphy which was found
in Ghulghula City in 1334 Khorshidi.
Some of the great Dari poems, including Abdul Rahman
Jamis Haft Owrang, Nezami Ganjawais Haft Paikar,
Hasht Behesht (the Eight Heavens) , Laily and Majnoon of
Amir Khosrow Dehlavi, which were written and ornamented by hand in 899 Hijri, also made up a part of the objects
of the museum.
Other important artifacts of the museum include miniature
paintings from Ostad Kamal-ud Din Behzad.
Dr. Sayyed Makhdum Rahin, Minister of Information and
Culture said in an interview: Due to exceeding number of
the objects found, some other museums are opened in cities other than Kabul, including: Herat, Ghazni, Maymana,
Balkh and Qandahar, from which Herat Museum, with
more than 4000 pieces of objects, is the greatest of them.
Minister of Information and Culture also mentioned that
after Mujahidins fall and Talibans invasion of Kabul,
most of the objects at other provinces museums were
destroyed by Taliban, because of their attitude towards
sculptors, that considered them taboo.
Saving some of the objects: Omar Khan Masoudi, an
authority at Kabul Museum, was the only person who
protected the inventories during the civil war and Talibans
reign by personally moving them to secure places.
He received the Princess Klaus award for saving Afghan
National Museums objects, in year 1384 Hijri Khorshidi.
When the Internationally sponsored Afghan government
started its work, efforts were made to rebuilt the museums
of Afghanistan, and Kabul museum was rebuilt during a
one year period funded by $350,000 from other countries.
Returning the objects which were looted out of the museum and smuggled to Pakistan and then European countries,
was one of the important plans by Ministry of Information
and Culture.
Some of the Medias at that time claimed that Nasirullah
Babor, Minister of Internal Affairs of Pakistan, had some
of the objects.
Sayyed Makhdum Rahin, in a letter ro Nasirullah Babor,
officially asked him to return the looted objects.
During the previous years, with UNESCOs aid and
MoICs activities, a large number of the objects were
returned from European countries, although some of them
are still kept at European countries.
Lately, MoIC has announced that it has started new excavations in different areas of the country.
With all the endeavors, Afghanistans National Museum, is
far from its postwar magnificence and importance.

Ramadan
Ramadan is the month during which Muslims fast. They refrain from eating and
drinking, and avoid obscene and irreligious sights and hearings from sunrise till
sunset, and also repent from their sins. Apart from the religious perspectives,
fasting during Ramadan has some physiological and psychological benefits for
the faster; it is a time period for the stomach to rest after one year of activity.
During Ramadan you do not have enough power to speak much, dispute, or
overwork, that is why you gain a spiritual cleansing and enlightment. Fasting may
seem hard or useless to some non-Muslims, but medical research regarding this,
proves that those ideas are wrong.
In many countries of the world, people suppress their anger by counting backwards from 10 to 1. If you are a busy business owner, during Ramadan fasting,
you may find it joyful that you do not have enough energy to shout over your
workers, your work atmosphere is soothing, your employees are more satisfied
with you, and work efficiency increases.

If you feel indifferent towards your family, work place, or the world you are living in, fast! Fasting will give you an idea
of how your newly born baby feels when
he is hungry and not able to communicate
his hunger, moreover you will learn the
feeling of the poor when they do not have
access to food and water.
Muslims believe that along with medical
and psychological benefits, fasting will
gain them Thawab (positive points given
to good doers) that they can use in the
world after. During Ramadan Muslims
help their neighbors, friends and poor
people more often, spend more time with
their families and relatives, especially
for having Iftar, the fast-breaking meal,
together.
After a month of fasting, Muslims return
to their original eating habit by celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr. Eid-ul-Fitr is the first day
of Shawwal month, which is exactly one
day after the last day of Ramadan. It is a
time of festivity. In most of the Muslim
countries Eid-ul-Fitr is celebrated as a
three-day holiday, during which people
go to feastings and visiting relatives.
People host their guests with varieties of
sweet meals and confections. During the
celebrations Muslims put on their finest
clothes and go sightseeing.

Q. What programs have you conducted regarding training professional personnel, because one
of the main issues of Afghan ministries is lack of
professionally trained personnel?
A. During the previous year, the Aviation Academy
has been founded with cooperation of Germany. The
organization will be beneficial in terms of professional trainings, since it has courses up to the level
of Masters in aviation with modern international
standards.
It used to be a two-year degree institution under
supervision of the Ministry, but has been updated to
a university which offers degrees in Masters, which
can address the aviation needs of the region.
Q. What activities have been done in land transport sector, especially for urban transportation?
A. Our main focus is on developing a policy by
which we can improve urban transportation, therefore we are seriously considering solving urban
transportation problems and we have big plans in
cooperation with Kabul municipality.
We are purchasing 1000 busses from India with a
budget of $100 million.
We are planning to connect Kabul to other provinces
through land transport, however, air transport plays
an important role in connecting the capital to other
areas, since Afghanistan is a landlocked country
which needs an efficient air transport. Private sectors
cooperation is also needed besides governmental
sector to address the transportation need of Afghanistan.

The National Army is not complete in terms of quantity and quality. The Ministry of Defense is planning to
increase the equipment capacity of the Army, so that they
are armed with standard equipments of the world. According to Ministry of Defense Spokesman, 1 billion and 450
million dollars has been spent on buying new equipment
during the previous month, including 500 armored tanks.
The National Armys works and activities in fighting
against terrorism and bringing security to the country
have brought them national and more importantly international credit. Ministry of Defense has increased the
administrative and management capacities of the Army up
to the point where Army has been able to manage some
very important missions, including Maarja Mission in
Helmand, and Mission Qandahar, which are good examples of development in the National Army. The National
Army is also planning an 18 months schedule, which is
conducted by the commanders of the National Army.
The National Army has established several Army Bases
adequately armed and equipped in different areas of the
country, including Qandahar Base, which is the most
powerful Army force in the country. We can also name,
Base 201, in Jalal Abads Seilab, 209 Shahin in Mazar-e
Sharif, Ferqa 111, and some other Army Bases, which
are mainly trained in foreign countries, and the rest has
passed the 10-months trainings periods in Afghanistan.
These forces have had good influence in night missions,
therefore it can be claimed that the National Army has
increased capacity in training commandos.
If we compare our country in terms of security with two
years before, we see that the result is satisfying and positive. Unsafe provinces of last year are today 100% secure, and the enemy cannot encounter the National Army
directly or it has been completely removed from power.
Therefore we can say that the Army is in good condition
and improving, and ready for the transition of responsibility.

Info
The National Army has several military education institutions that admit new students through selective exams,
among which we can name the National Military Academy which conforms to International standards, especially to the American system of WestPoint, and it admits
students in more than 30 fields annually. The admitted
students are educated and trained theoretically and practically. One of the features of this Academy is that it also
educates students in non-military fields as well. They also
have to learn English language besides Dari and Pashtu.
Every year students use scholarships in fields of Air force,
Medicine, Engineering, Law and etc, to study in foreign
countries.
The National Armys troops, who are being educated in
six zones of the country, use the literacy programs. And
today more than 90% of the illiterate forces of the Army
are able to write and read efficiently.
Ministry of Defense has more than 1000 woman personnel, which include Generals, Colonels and other ranks.
Efforts are also made to increase the number of women
forces in the Army.
The National Army will take responsibility of providing
national and territorial security of the country. Fortunately there has been agreement between the Ministry of
Defense and International forces, by which International
forces, especially the United States will arm and equip
Afghanistans National Army.

It pays to say that depending on youth interest in cinema and Afghan government, especially Ministry of Information

During his long and illustrious career in the aviation industry, Fayez
has a long list of acheivements, including the impressive turnaround
he spearheaded at JorAMco, a Jordanian Maintenance Repair Overhaul company (MRO). As GM of JorAMco, Fayez actively participated in the implementation of the privatization program, by opening
new hangars and establishing their JorAMco Aviation Academy in
accordance with EASA Part 147, graduating licensed maintenance
engineers holding EASA Part 66, which count as great achievements
for the Jordan. From a revenue point of view, Mr. Al Salah, as part
of the senior management team, has also helped the company double
revenue and profit in 2008 by implementing processes that improve
productivity and efficiency, as well as enhancing quality and safety
standards, which reflects on the companys image and profitability.
This was in addition to creating new products by adding more to the
shops capabilities and expanding the companys work scope approvals.
When asked how he sees Safi growing in the coming period, Fayez
responded, Safi Airways is already growing at a steady pace, with
short, medium and long term plans in place, which are based on the
solid foundation of marketing research, analysis and studies as well
as competitor analysis. He then went on to say that Safis goals are
achievable ones, despite being challenging; Safi is on the right track.
Fayez has his work cut out for him, with high competition and
increasing fuel prices, Mr. Al Salah has a firm goal of remaining cost
effective to the customer, despite fuel prices changing and increasing by the minute. Other challenges that Fayez is ready to face are
developing and enhancing Safis products and services to a world
class level, optimizing capacity, which will ultimately benefit Safi
Airways passengers.
For the coming 12 months, Fayez has a well-founded list of priorities
and goals. At the top of the list is developing staff through training,
courses, seminars, etc. as he sees the team as a major asset for the
company. There will also be a move toward Safi conducting its own
technical handling of line maintenance activities in both Kabul and
Dubai.
Other goals include restructuring the engineering and maintenance
department, building and enhancing team work to maintain high morale and motivation of the staff, improving on time performance and
enhancing dispatch reliability.
