TRAFFIC OFFICER
I Always Feel Responsible for My Country And My People!
14 In-flight Magazine
The mornings wind and coldness still ruled the street,

the cars traffic was like the hardworking ants. With the
black gloves on his hands, he controlled the movements
of the cars and vehicles with skill and haste. His other
partners were checking the cars which stopped near
Aasmaee intersection. I watched his work for several
minutes, a very strange world with lot of difficulties; he
deals with different people who live with different
thoughts and ideas. I went near him and said hello to
him, with a slight smile on his lips and between the
noises of the vehicles which I could not properly hear his
voice, he answered with kindness and said; any work with
me please? When I told him that I am a reporter before
my speeches end he told me with kindness, my
commander is over there and you can ask your questions
from him, he will answer your questions. When I got introduced to his commander, the commander said one of the
officers can interview with me. The officer said with a
short smile, I am willing to do interview with you.
The traffic officer, Muhammad Jawid who is busy in his
duty in Aasmaee road in Kabul comes to his work every
day from 8am and usually works until 7 or 8 pm without
any break. I asked him how long has he been working as
traffic officer? Again he laughed at me and said: its been
five years that I am working as a traffic officer from 8 am
until 8 pm and I used to these noises and crowded places.
I feel bored when I am at home, because I feel I am doing
my responsibility for my people and country here and
from the other hand I make money and doing my duty.
He also added, No different what is our duty or our
profession, but doing the job efficiently and honestly is
our main mission against our people and our country.
When I do my best in my job and I control the cars not to
make heavy traffic in the road, Ive actually been able to
serve my people and I hope that my people understand
it. He has no higher education in his job, but has participated in many learning courses. He said that he always
tried to do his best on the responsibilities entrusted to
him, but the support and cooperation of people is also
very important. He said about too much car crossing and
too much traffic and said with a smile that if my every
countryman has a car I would serve but we want their
cooperation, our countrymen should abide and respect
the law for the ease of us and themselves, he said with a
smile again that the implementation of law is not a bad
work is it? Well we just have a request to observe the
traffic laws, always have their documents with their
vehicles, do not drive fast because the accident happens
for a moment and its hard to compensate it after that.
Interview
In-flight Magazine 15
Interview
I asked him that if sometimes the drivers get angry

on you? He answered yes, here are people with
different tastes, some may think what we do is outrageous. The number of cars just in this road reaches
to one thousand, how we can let them to go in one
time? It is impossible. Sometimes our countrymen
may think that we stop their cars unreasonable but
we always try for the ease of them. Our coordination with the police is one of the traffic successes.
Police and security forces with the traffic police all
hand in hand work for the citys discipline and ease
of car crossing. However, sometimes we face with
many problems; we should hear words of others,
should be tolerant and must have patience because
it is our duty. Our citizens have the right, because of
the crossing problems the roads are narrow and the
number of cars is too much. Sometimes even we
should give direction and guide the gharries,(goods
carrier) because they also have right, they are also
the citizens of this country and their gharry is their
lives, they either sell something with that gharry or
find their daily food. So we are all brothers and work
alongside each other with the different professions
and jobs if we carefully think about that we will
certainly understand our responsibility.
At the moment of interview when his speeches are
not over yet, a Toyota taxi type stands at the middle
of the road and many cars stand behind it, without

saying anything he points to the car and says: now
you see tens of cars stops and a heavy traffic creates
only because of one person, its not fair is it? This is
breaking the law that should be prevented. This is
the controversy of us (Traffics) always, and we are
dealing with such issues every moment, every hour
and every day. I asked about his family, Well I am
married and have children. I hope that god help me
with the right upbringing them. Our country needs
good people in the future because we have seen lot
of bad guys and these bad guys killed many good
people. Well I am happy with my family, I thank god
for finding solvent and lawful food for my family.
But while I get tired in the days I cant have so much
fun with my children, yet I am happy he laughed
and repeated I am really happy.I wanted to ask him
more questions, he said: isnt it enough please?
There are many cars and I should help my partners,
we should stand at two sides of the road and
control the cars. He asked again, whats the name of
your magazine? Safi Airways Magazine Yes, I wish a
happy trip for the Safi passengers and also wish
success for our Afghan airline. After the farewell he
started controlling the cars with haste, many steps
far from him I saw him so busy that he couldnt see
anything in the road but controlling the cars.

THE NEW ART OF

AFGHANISTAN
When the term Afghan art is mentioned, most think of either Tela
Tapas Greco-Bactrian statuettes, Behzads classical miniatures,
Steve McCurrys Sharbat Gul, the National Geographics world
renowned Afghan Girl or the infamous buzkashi randitions. The
Classical Period or the Golden Age of Afghan art has long passed
and while 1970s saw a mini Renaissance of art, Afghanistan did not
fully develop its own style of art.
However, things are about to change. A young Afghan artist may
have created a form of art that Afghanistan can call its very own. It
is both unique and profound. Going simply by his first name only,
Akram has been painting with mud and other natural elements
found in Afghanistan. Calling himself a mason, [Dari: gilkaar,
literally: mud worker] he has been making wonderful pieces of
work, by using mud on paper.
What is most unique about this fresh approach and new way of
doing art is its originality and simplicity. Akram has worked with
watercolor and oil paint, creating some great pieces. However, he
felt that paint has become an overrated medium, so he experimented with mud, after a friend commented on the low quality of
Chinese oil paint tubes, saying it is better to paint with mud than
with these paints. That comment sparked a thought in Akrams
mind and thus began a quest to use mud effectively as paint. After
a years effort and constant experiments, he finally found the basic
ingredients and methods to use natural elements to create amaz20
In-flight Magazine
Info
ing works of art. Aside from using a variety of mud, he

uses brick, kohl, lapis and other semi-precious stones
to get the colors he needs. This young, innovative &
profoundly talented artist is originally from Ghazni. He
studied under the famous master artists of Herat,
coming back last year to his native birthplace to exhibit
his newly learned talent and innovation to the local
crowd first - as a way to honor his city. However, his
childhood Madrasa (religious seminary school)
classmates, now Taliban commanders, found Akrams
idea of creating forms from mud not so original, citing
divine scripture to argue that there was someone else
who created a couple of works from mud and called
them Adam and Eve. Moreover, these classmates did
not have a sense of humor about this copy right
infringement and invited Akram to bring his pieces to
them for approval, one day prior to the worldpremire exhibition. Needless to say Akram left town
before dusk, as his years effort of experimenting and
40 artworks followed in the next bus out of town the
following day, wrapped in thick fabric inside a box - to
avoid any association, if caught.
Fortunately the artist and all his artwork survived. The
following month, at his world exhibition at The Galleria, the largest private gallery in Afghanistan, Akram
admitted that far from playing God, he wants to
challenge himself and others to create new works, new
thoughts and new approaches. A former Madrasa
student, Akram signed up for Herat Universitys
ment of Fine Arts, the best art school in the country, as a

dare to his friends who all could not get into the school
of architecture.
After a semester of goofing off at school, Akram did not
find much to laugh about when his grades were posted.
He then promised himself to be the best artist he could
be. Taking private lessons from such artists as Raashed
Rahmani and working day and night at his craft to
become a top student at the university, so much so that
when the Italian PRT (Provincial Reconstruction Team based in Herat) wanted to gift a painting of their top
commander for himself as a Christmas present, the PRT
contacted Herat Universitys Department of Fine Arts to
draw the commanders picture. The University, in turn,
placed this diplomatically sensitive task at the capable
hands of Akram. The top 2010 graduate of Department
of Fine Arts at Herat University Akram works with The
Galleria. The three decade of war has breathe new life
and fresh thinking to art. The availability of internet and
the new market for art has created a need for
re-evaluation of ones work and the purpose to be better.
Going back to basics and daring to challenge the establishment with his thoughts, ideas, innovations and
approaches, Akram has all the right ingredients to be a
great artist. He has chosen mud as his medium of choice
for several reasons. Historically rich, mud is mentioned in
scriptures & literature. Reflecting on todays Afghanistan
where concrete is king, Akram wants to go back to his
roots to find the elements that binds us all.

The international community's commitment
to Afghanistan and its role in international
security will continue beyond the period

presence. We admit that Afghanistans government needs considerable and continual financial helps which cannot afford it from the
domestic revenues in the years of transfer,
thus during the transformed decade the
international community commit the financial

the costs related to security expenses and also
will help the country with the continued shortage of budget to preserve the past decades
achievements and irreversible the re transition, so Afghanistan stands to its feet.
Hillary Clinton emphasized: Political reform in

(Afghanistan and the international community) must be transparently accountable in
their commitments.
Mrs. Clinton also said: the cooperation of
Afghanistan neighboring countries is important for the regional security, and if Pakistan
had participated in the second Bonn, America
would have benefited from participation of
Pakistan.
Despite the mutual obligations between
Afghanistan and the international community, Pakistan's absence at the meeting has
created many questions about regional cooperation. German Foreign Minister said that he
is sorry that Pakistan did not participated in
this meeting, but other neighboring countries
of Afghanistan participated and played a
constructive role.
Zalmay Rasul, Afghanistans Foreign Minister
said that Pakistans absence does not mean
that they do not cooperate in the peace
process. He also said that without the full
participation and cooperation of Afghanistan
and Pakistan the peace would not come to the
region.

government has committed to fight against
corruption and for this many expansion plans
will begin soon in the capital and provinces.

Interview
Maria Bashir is the first woman in Afghanistan who is the

director of General Attorney in Herat for several years, with
the special initiative and tact, she could be successful in this
responsibility, and for this she has earned the title of effective
face in the hundred global thinkers of the year. Mrs. Bashir
who has the responsibility of Herats General Attorney, has a
big and momentous responsibility in the Afghanistan society,
like chasing crimes and suing criminals, also fulfillment of all
criminal cases which is a difficult task. But Mrs. Bashir has
achieved to do this big responsibility in a good way in the past
few years, which is a sign of her features and commitment to
her people and the country.
Safi Magazine reporter has visited Mrs. Bashir who is an effective personality of the year and did an interview with her
which we invite you to read it!

In-flight Magazine
Q: After introducing yourself, please give information

about the activities which are done in the Herat province
Directorship of Attorney?
A: In the name of God, my name Is Maria Bashir, responsible
for Herat province Directorship of Attorney. Herat Attorney
Directorship which also includes 15 districts has 2 major duties to do:
1: Justice Chase and investigation of crimes
2: Monitoring on implementation of rules in the governmental
offices and organizations
The major part of our duty is justice chase and investigation of
crimes and justice sue in the court. In this part we accomplish
all of criminal cases which are referred to us from the security
and intelligence organizations. The crimes which go under the
investigation are generally includes assassination, drug smuggling crimes, crimes against children and violence against
women. Off course in the early stages, these crimes will be
investigated and will be referred to the related courts by our
preliminary attorneys and in the second stages after the first
round of court for convincing/not convincing of the courts
decisions, the case will be returned to the Herat General Attorney and will be submitted to the related organizations for the
second round of the court.
Q: Until now which kinds of problems have you faced in
your working area?
A: If I speak generally, it is itself a big deal to hand over such
a big responsibility to a woman, and naturally it could have
some barriers which you cannot pass from them easily. Five
years ago when I started y activity in General Attorney as the
first woman, there was a question for me and for the other
people that can a woman achieve such a responsibility?
From the point of professionalism and education with having
a team of partners who can have a graceful rule, I started and
until now by dealing with many challenges I could do this
momentous duty in good way. The noble people of Herat can
have a judgment about my work.
Q: Tell us about you Educations?
A: I am graduated from justice and attorney Faculty of Kabul
Law and Political Faculty of Kabul University, I have passed
one year in the stage course of Attorney in the Attorney
General of Afghanistan, I worked for 3 years in the General
Attorney and after that I came to Herat and have been busy in
this position for giving service to the people.
Q: Taking in consideration that you are the first woman
accepted such a momentous job in the country level and in
the working area you are mostly dealing with the people
Interview
who have attempted crimes, have you ever faced any problem in this area?
A: Sure an attorney is in danger all over the world, because
as you mentioned before attorney is dealing with criminals.
There is potential danger from every kind of criminals, anti
security criminals or drug smugglers, but my job requires as
an attorney. From the other side I am facing some fanaticisms.
The anti government groups are against womens working
in the offices in any position, if it is a woman working as a
University professor or a reporter like you Danger can be for
all of the women, but for attorney specially for me who is a
woman attorney it is more. I am facing security threats which I
cannot go out without armed guards. Of course my family and
children are also facing these problems. My children cannot
go freely to the school like their other classmates, but battling
with all these problems and preventions is a part of my goals
which nobody can prevent me from my job.
Q: what affects does your job had in your personal life and
family?
A: I am very thankful of my families who are cooperating
with me in this case with accepting many difficulties, because
working outside have occupied most of my time, and I cannot
give that easement which a mother can give to her children.
Because all are enduring me honestly until now I did not face
any family problem.
Q: Can I ask about your private life?
A: Yes why not.
Q: with whom do you live in your family?
A: I am married and I am mother of 3 children, 2 sons and one
daughter, and naturally like all Afghan families I have family
relations and connections with my mother, brothers, sisters and
the other relatives.
Q: Some time before you took over the title of the bravest
woman in the world, give us some information about that?
A: From the very long time ago, the Afghan womens name
is tied with bravery and they have recorded this in the history
that they are brave. Off course I have said many times that
I am not the only Afghan brave woman, there is bravery in
identity of all Afghan women and girls. As soon as the Afghan
girl and woman go out of their home and take a step toward
their rights revival, this is a big bravery. Every Afghan woman
has bravery and ability to express it when there is a position
for her. I personally proud of being an Afghan woman, and my
honor or pride belongs to Afghanistan.
Q: Your name is recorded in the list of this years 100
global thinkers; give us also some information about that?
A: The works I have done in the past years and the efforts I
made for bringing changes in Afghan women life, the battle
I started for that, especially in the past 2 years by using my
legal authority. I have analyzed many cases of violence against
women, and this has caused bringing attention to the women
for being careful of their rights. There have many decisions
taken in this area, for example I have created a special unit in
the Herat Attorney to follow the violence against the women
which includes 8 attorneys. Also I have decided to hire ladies
who are educated from the law and politics and Sharia Faculties. Now there are 11 female attorneys busy in the Herat
Attorneys framework. The world community has seen all
these activities, thoughts and achievements, and they noted
that these thoughts are the superior thoughts which can be a
pattern to the next generation. They have given such a title to
an Afghan woman and this theme gives us energy and makes
us hopeful for the future to stress more our way. And if God
is willing all the Afghan women and girls are united with us in
this way and battle.
Q: how is your relation (behavior) with the people and the
visitors?
A: I always hope that I had more than these abilities to at my
peoples service in settling law and to be with any visitor who
comes to the attorney until the last step of their work. I always
tried to attract the peoples trust to the Attorney Office and its
achievements. Because we are an outcome of this peoples efforts, we always tried to be with the people and their ideals.
Q: Can you tell us your idea about Safi Airways?
A: When we have something in our land belonged to ourselves, we will be happy and prideful. Safi Airways is one of
these prides and is one of the best companies we have in our
country. I am proud that we are having such a regular company. Mine and my other Afghan fellows expectation from Safi
Airways is to expand their services, and start their regional
flights as they have promised many times, and from the other
side, as they have many achievements in the international
flights, they should make relations with the other international
airlines to facilitate Afghan fellows travels to most parts of the
world with direct flights. I have always chosen Safi Airways in
my foreign trips and I appreciate their services.
Q: Your last say to the Safi Magazines readers?
A: For sure every Afghan will read this interview; my expectation from the Afghan fellows who are living outside
the country is not to forget their land, and especially Afghan
women who need a lot of cooperation and help. And I am sure
that the drops will become a sea and one day the hopes light
will be seen in this country and the values will be restored and
Afghanistan will be built which every Afghan citizen will have
their own part in building their country. Thanks

Afghan Pistachio
Afghan Pistachio is one of the forest fruit products with global fame. The pistachio history backs to long
time in Afghanistan, when the kings and landlords preferred to have pistachio in their tables in addition
to their other types of fruits. Pistachio was a key fruit in their tables, they called it the jewel of kings
tables and without pistachio their table would be called an incomplete table.
The Afghanistan pistachio forests are located from north-east to west provinces, which this half-circle
produces the more lucrative agriculture products in the country.
The officials of Agriculture and Livestock Ministry said that they have long term plans for keeping the
pistachio forests, preventing cutting pistachio trees and prevent from illegal plucking. By implementation of these plans the pistachio products will be multiplied.
Info
Majid Qarar, the spokesman of the Agriculture

Ministry said to Safi In-flight Magazine: we have
long term plans in hand; the gardening system
and the pistachio forests will be standardized and
modernized in the next two years with the cooperation with the farmers and gardeners.
According to the spokesman of the Ministry of
Agriculture and Livestock, four hundred and fifty
thousand acres of land so far recorded as pistachio
lands and ninety thousands of which located in
Badghis Province.
On the other hand Mohammad Ghani Ghoryani,
Deputy of Natural Resources Department in
Afghanistan expressed his optimism with the
increase of fruit products in the last years and said:
about fifty percent of the pistachio forests were
destroyed in abnormalities and ongoing wars in
the past years, but the efforts of farmers and cooperation of Agriculture Ministry served to organize
the agriculture resources and pistachio forests in
the last years but more time is needed for all the
pistachio forests to be rebuild.
The reviews and reports from the pistachio forests
of Afghanistan shows, that the powerful individuals and some local residents cut pistachio trees
and use as fuel.
Inappropriate, illegal and before time picking of
the pistachio by the local residents are other
factors result the reduction of pistachio products
in the country. Mr. Gharar Said. The reviews and

He added: Badakhshans pistachio forests
produce the average amount of one thousand
and five hundred tons of pistachio every year
which make about one hundred and four
million Afs revenues for the government and
the residents.
According to the officials of Agriculture and
Livestock Ministry, the price of one Kilo gram
pistachio reaches up to twenty dollars inside
Afghanistan. The Ministry officials also claim
that Afghan pistachio has excellent reputation
and global fame and also has better quality in
comparison to the other countries.
It is noteworthy to say that pistachio forests
start from Herat and continues toward Badakhshaan province. Afghanistan exports pistachio
to India, Turkey, China, USA, Russia and other
European countries and has good reputation
and fame.

YALDA NIGHT
A MEMORABLE NIGHT WITH ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY
YALDA NIGHT
Cultural Event
Its been a long time Among the Aryan peoples

(Arianna where today's Afghanistan was its
center), the people held a ceremony at the beginning of winter, which represent different names
and motivations among various ethnic groups.
In Afghanistan, especially among the mountain
peoples and the people who have the same
culture in the neighboring lands, they call the
beginning night of the winter by the name of
"Chelle" or "Yalda Night" that coincide with the

beginning night of the winter. Because of the
accuracy and full compliance of the old Aryan
calendars with the nature calendar, always and in
every year, the winter starts at the evening of
30th Jade (In January) and the first morning of
the Dalw (Middle of January) Month Although
some people mistakenly believe that the Chelle
night is the longest night of the year for the
Info
elimination of malevolent, but no day or night is

known bad in the ancient thought of Afghan
people. The Chelles night rooted in a cosmic
event as many old rituals.
The suns turning back toward the northeast and
increasing of the day length, which this event was
known as rebirth of the sun and an auspicious
time. This celebration still exists today.
In the past, different kinds of celebration were
held for this night like staying awake till morning
to see the newborn Sun. One of the perquisites
for this celebration was the presence of the elders
or family elders as a symbol to show the suns
elderly, and also plenty of food for long term
awakening at the night such as pomegranate,
watermelon or other fruits with red and sun color.
Many religions have given religious meaning for
Chelle, in Mitra religion; the first day of winter was
named as the Sun Day, and the first day of year.
And today this event is continued in the Gregorian calendar which is the continued Methraist
calendar. The various sects of Christian hold the
Christs birthday around the close days to the
winter, and also celebrate the New Year and
Christmas as the ancient Sistani calendar around
the same time.
The first day of the winter was auspicious and
welcomed by Khoramdinan who were followers
of the great hero of old Arians (Modern Afghanistan) Mazdak, and mentioned as Khorram Day.
They also had especial rituals for this day. This
celebration still can be seen among some people,
Pamir and Badakhshaan can be mentioned in the
north of Afghanistan and south of Tajikistan. Also
the Armenian calendars called the first month of
the year by the name of NawaSard which means
New Year in Avestan.
However the Chelle night and the suns birth

ceremony are not accepted at Zoroastrian
religious traditions, but lately this date is mentioned in Zoroastrian calendars on 24 of Ghaws
(December) month which does not compliance
neither with natural nor with ancient Aryan
calendars and also Abu Rihans speech does not
confirm it, as he mentioned the Chelle night as
Eid of Ninety Days because of Ninety days distant
from New Year.
In the different regions of Afghanistan especially
in the northeast the people celebrate the raising
and rebirthing of the Sun. Groups of the people
all together wait for seeing the first time the sun
is raising.
Usually at the Chelle (Yalda) night the elders of
the families who are literate bring Devan Hafiz
book and read the divinations of the guests or
rest of the family. Or something like this tradition
which nowadays some people use Hafiz Divination software instead of the Hardcopy of the
book. The traditions of Yalda night is a good
entertainment for the families, Yalda nights
ceremony is an old custom and the people
celebrate it for thousands of years.
The word Yalda is a syriac word which is derived
from the concept of Birth (Some believe that
Jesus was born at this night). Singing, Dancing
and happiness are other traditions which add the
beauty to this celebration. Most of the neighbors
join together and serve sweets and other foods in
one table with happiness and after that they stay
awake till the morning and celebrate the Raising
of the Sun at the first morning of the Jade(Solar
Month).
Yalda also called as the love birth in legends,
because of this the people who are in love write
letters for their lovers. The especial Yalda nights
ceremony usually celebrated in Iran, Russia and
other Middle East countries like India, Pakistan,
Azerbaijan and some other countries.
Info
Although many difficulties and challenges are still in the way of Afghanistan government and more time is needed for overcoming the ravages, but day by day the people get optimistic with the progress which
government has achieved so far. Their future hopes are lighter and the
development sparks can be seen in the different areas in Afghanistan.
Nearly a year after the onset of new developments in Afghanistan, lots
of achievements in different sectors such as; Education, Higher Educations, Reconstructions, Building Fundamental and infrastructures
works, Energy and Water, Building Circle and ring Ways in all over the
country, growth and development of Military and police forces, public
participation in national processes, signing strategic alliances with regional countries and business expansion with tens of other countries,
create and expanding of free Medias in the capital and other provinces
all are facts which give more hope for the people.
Hamid Karzai, the president of Afghanistan who was talking in a consultative televised conference said: Today Afghanistan is a country in
which all Afghans feelings and thoughts are shared. This is the greatest achievement in the past decade. The president also noted: Despite all the difficulties and the enormous challenges which still exist
in the country, Afghanistan is an independent country with democratic
regime, the Educations and Higher Educations are in top level and the
Freedom of Speech in Afghanistan is Unique among the region countries.
On the other hand, lots of positive developments occurred in various spheres
of social life of the people, which lead the people to cooperate with authorities
for developments in various fields.
1-Women and their Political participation in government: Afghan women
who were prevented from work and other activities during Taliban regime
now work and are active hand in hand with men in all the fields. A recent report by the Ministry of Womens Affairs in the Ministers council indicates that
more than 24 percent of the government employees are women.
2-Development of security forces: Growth and expansion of security forces
has been impressive in 2011 in comparison to the past years. The interior
Ministry officials say: The police had outstanding achievements in 2011than
2010. Thirty five thousands of national police professionally trained which
multiplied the power of security forces in providing security in the country.
In a report which published by the Ministry of Interior written that this Ministry has created systems and adopted policies this year from which adoption of
five year strategy plane for national police is one of them.
3-Education and Training: three thousand and four hundred schools were active
in 2001 and total of one billion including less than three percent of them were
girl students. The total of students reached 20000. But about 14000 schools are
active this year, have 8 billion and 800 students and 38 percent of the students
are girls. Today the total number of students reaches 175000. We were witness
of lots of events, changes, meetings, conferences, national and international
Info
conferences about Afghanistan, diplomatic trips and meetings of world leaders

and Afghanistan senior officials in 2011. Politics, Security, Economy, Culture and
Educations all had positive changes in the past year. Other important events: Peace
consultative Jirga: This conference was also one of important events during 2011
in Luya Jirga tend in Kabul which was held by Afghanistan government. This conference held along the continuous efforts of the Afghan government to negotiate
with the government armed oppositions to return them to their normal life and to
give them political participation.
In this Jirga all the composition participants, the range of internal and external
situation and actions with reactions had one motive, bringing peace and security
in Afghanistan. Tribal leaders, one thousand and six hundreds of ethnic leaders,
representatives of civil society, parties and political groups and also a significant
population of women and human rights activists participated in peace consultative
conference.
According to some reports, the participants of this meeting stressed the importance of holding it and presented plans for peace and national reconciliation in the
country.
Kabul Conference: Kabul International Conference was another important event,
which was held in 2011. According to some political experts, this was the biggest
meeting in the past three decades, which was hosted by the afghan government
within the country. The covered subject in this conference is under the implementation now. About forty foreign ministers of different countries including USA,
Britain, Iran, Pakistan, China and several other senior officials were participated
in this conference.
Ban Ki Moon, Un Secretary General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, Secretary General
of the north Atlantic treaty organization (Nato) and a number of major international organizations also attended the meeting. The presented proposals of Afghanistan government focused on economic and security programs.
The second parliamentary elections: The second round of parliamentary elections
held after much delay and procrastinations in the past year. This election was considered as an important test. Despite some challenges happened in the legislative
of elections, but holding the election was an important and significant achievement for the government and for Afghan people.
In the days near to the elections, the main worry of the government, election authorities, international foundations, candidates and the people was security, which
the countrys security forces could successfully provide the peoples security to
participate in the elections and choose their representatives.
Holding traditional Luy Jirga; Recently President Hamid Karzai held the traditional Luy Jirga for consulting with the people about strategic treaty with America.
From all over Afghanistan peoples representatives, civil community representatives, human right activists, media representatives and parties representatives
were participants of this 3-Day Jirga, which they gave their decisions through A
76 articles resolution to the President Hamid Karzai.
Providing Health Services; while in the last year 69% of Afghanistans people had
access to the health services, as a result of public health ministrys authorities this
figure has increased to 85 % in 2011.
According to Soraya Dalil, caretaker of health care ministry, more than 225 clinics
were built in the past year. The health services are improving in the country with
the helping of neighbor counties.
Yet in the private sector we can mention trades growth and increase of Afghanistans products export, which this part had a remarkable growth in compare to the
last year. In general from what mentioned before we get to this result that Afghanistan takes steps toward improvement and welfare every day and we can never
compare Afghanistan to the Afghanistan in one year ago, because everything is
going through improvement every day and the people of Afghanistan gave their
hands together with their authorities and step by step they are dealing with all
problems for rebuilding their country.
Interview
GENDER IS NOT IMPORTANT

FOR ME I FIGHT TO RESTORE
THE HUMAN VALUES
Afghanistan is a country that from

the past durations until now, its
society structures are based on
accepted traditions and customs.
Especially the families structures
in this country in many areas
based on past practices that are
relevant to religious values and
bases. So in such a society which
traditional view (ideology) is dominant in the area, womens rights
can only be defined within the
family framework. Whereas most
of the girls and women are
employed in governmental and
non-governmental
institutions,
during the Taliban regime era
these rights were completely
taken from them and no woman
were allowed to work outside the
home, which after the overthrow
of that regime, women began their
activities widely and in addition to
working in governmental offices,
there has been some foundations
that established to defend from
the women rights and at the
moment a lot of women are
coping in civil way for their rights.
Now you read the story of a
woman who wears men cloths and
fights for the women and human
values.
Bibi Hakmina is a woman who
considers herself as the (Womens
King). She lives like a man in
Afghanistan, and has a special
respect from the men of her area.
Bibi Hakmina is participating in the
elders meetings as a tribal master,
she shares her ideas and the other
tribal masters grant respect for her
ideas and suggestions.
Interview
This lady has nominated herself in

the second provincial council
election and was elected with the
highest votes by the Khost province people.
According to a Khost provinces
citizen: Everybody who travels to
Khost, is unlikely not to meet Bibi
Hakmina. Because her name is
called by everyone in this province.
Bibi Hakmina is not famous only
because she does political works,
but she has an unusual custom
which this feature is caused the
peoples attention to her. She
wears the mens traditional cloths
which includes a wide pants and a
long shirt which reaches to her
knees and instead of Burqa, she
wears a turban which in Afghanistan men use it usually, but turban
is specially for the men who are
more
traditional
and
Sufi
(spiritual).
Bib Hakmina has never felt herself
a woman, she says: I feel I am a
man, because my habits are manly.
I have never felt being a woman.
In Afghanistan the normal tasks of
the women are to cook the food
and take care of the other house
works, but Bibi Hakmina deals with
weapon and politics instead of
house works.
She also says: from the childhood
she wore like men and when she
grew bigger, she were taking gun
on her shoulders and even now
she takes a gun where she goes,
she never exits her home without
Kalashnikov (AK 47). I take this
weapon for myself and for defending from my prestige and respect.
Pashtuns have an expression that
says: weapon is an extra load, but it
will be for your benefit when its for
your protection
From the childhood, Bibi Hakmina
learned how to defend from
herself and her family. Because her
older brother was studying in

Kabul, Afghanistans capital, she
had to play the role of son in the
family.
Her job was to defend from her
mother and sisters. Bibi Hakmina
also companied her father in the
men meetings. She reminds the
past memories: my father was
oldest man of the village. He was
taking me to the Jirgas (traditional
meetings) I learned lots of things
there. Our tribe was highly
respected because of my father
This 40 years old lady is not yet
married and is expected that she
has no desire to marry.
She says I dont like to marry and
become a mother, instead of being
a mother I fought along with Mujahidin against Soviet troops
During the war she was a scout
(guard) and had the responsibility
to provide the necessities like food,
medicine and weapons.
Bibi Hakmina is now busy as the
Khost provinces Provincial Council
representative, and a lot of people
refer to her for solving their daily
problems.
From the other side, if there is a
dispute or controversy between
the tribes, for solving it, they refer
to her to get consultancy and solve
their disputes.
Abdul Qadir, one of the Khost
provinces citizens says proudly:
however Bibi Hakmina is a
woman, she has done a lot of
things. She is like a brave man and
this is the most important feature
of her
More of these, Bibi Hakmina also
defends from the womens rights.
This is an innovation from her,
because too much steps has not
been taken for attention to the
women rights.
Bibi Hakmina wants to do her job
as a political woman in a proper
way and help the people. Gender is

not important for her there, she
wants to help poor people and in
Afghanistan there are a lot of
women who suffer from poverty.
Bibi Hakmina says: I feel petty for
these women, in our Pashtun
society sometimes they are not
treated properly. Women suffer too
much in their lifetime. For example
they have to marry instead of a big
amount of money or to solve the
disputes between two tribes, more
on that most of the girls are not
allowed to go to school.
She has never gone to school, but
her views are very intellectual,
because she has respect for the
modern life and todays societys
realities.
As it is normal for the boys in the
rural areas, has learned to work in
the farms, and so she can help the
men outside instead of cooking in
the home.
Khosts citizens say that Bibi
Hakmina has nothing less than a
man. Even Taliban cannot make
her afraid. She describes this with
self-confidence: they have warned
me two times and said: You have
gone to Mecca and if you really
have belief, you should support us,
and then I said lets sit and talk
However Bibi Hakmina is religious,
but believes in Afghanistans rolls
and
democracy.
Negotiation
between two opposite groups is
the best solution according to her.
She has never lost her hopes for
coming peace in her war affected
country. This political woman
hopes that women try to get the
equal rights with men, because
even after Talibans overthrow in
2001, the women have not equal
rights like men, for having mens
rights in Afghanistan for a woman,
first she has to change to a man.

Interview
I always feel responsible for

my people and my country
Nowadays Electricity is counted as the

most basic human necessities. Afghanistan, which most of its infrastructures was
destroyed during the past twenty years of
continuos wars, by the efforts of government officials for the public welfare of
citizens; there has been some reconstruction and fundamental achievements that
we can point to the big and long term
plans and the achievements of the Water
and Energy Ministry.
The Energy and Water Ministry is one of
the ministries that has achieved most of its
plans and the responsible authorities in
this ministry have done the most fundamental works which is belonged to their
field.
Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan that four years ago

less than 10 % of its population had access to the
electricity, now has 24 hours electricity.
The Energy and Water Minister, Amir Muhammad
Ismael Khan, in an exclusive interview with the Safi
In-Flight magazine has said from the vast plans of
this Ministry in the country level to provide electricity for the Afghanistan citizens.
He noted that, extensive studies has been done for
discovering water sections in Afghanistan, which as
a result 500 dams are studied and analyzed in the
entire Afghanistan.
He also added that working on the design of most
of these dams is in progress. After determination of
design, the amount of the dams which will be
usable, the plan and the construction work will
begin soon.
The Energy and Water Minister reiterated that the
construction work on seven big dams in the different provinces of the country has already started.
He also said that few years ago 6% of the Afghanistan population was using electricity,
Interview
which now 36 % of the population in the entire country

has access to the electricity, and Kabul is among the cities
which have 24 hours regular electricity.
Amir Ismael Khan said: reconstruction work in the water
dams and the electric dams has been done, that as a
result 3000 irrigation networks and small electric dams
are reconstructed in a modern form.
In the same time, the Water and Energy Ministry is also
busy in renewing dozens projects in the different
provinces of Afghanistan, that with completing these
dams there will be large developments in the irrigation
to the agricultural lands and increase of electricity capacity.
According to the Water and Energy Minister, their long
term plans are being executed, and with compilation of
these plans which takes nearly four years, the electricity
will be connected from north to south of the country,
thus with completion of these projects almost 60% of
Afghanistan people will be benefited from the electricity.
Ismael Khan, who had already responsibility of Herat
province government, has many achievements in
construction and renewing of this province
which as a result of his tireless efforts Herat is considered

as one of the best cities in Afghanistan.
He stresses that everything can be done in understanding and accountability and no society can get public
welfare without peoples contribution, because of this for
building our society and our country, we need to grant
rights for all and the plans which Energy and Water Ministry has, will be implemented same overall the country,
because building Afghanistan means building each
Afghans home.
The Energy and Water Minister also emphasized that we
cannot solve the Afghan people s problems they were
facing more than 30 years in 2 or 3 years, but for having
a prosperous society, it is needed that every Afghan feel
him/herself responsible against the people and the country. The Energy and Water Ministry as a responsible
organization always feels responsibility against the
people and the country and with this responsibility will
try to fulfill all the tasks which are belonged to them.
Sports
Khorasan Lions, Vice-champions

in football in South Asia
Sport is known as an artistic phenomenon need for

citizens and statesmen in Afghanistan, which needs
growth and development.
Afghan athletes have won many medals and
trophies in Asian and even world championship
competitions and brought honor to their country in
the last few years.
Afghan Cricket team has participated and won many
tournaments among the foreign countries and also
Afghan Bodybuilding team has won many medals.
Afghan athletes could become Vice-champions of
the Asia Confederation competitions which was the
first experience of Afghanistan Football team in
history.
Following the defeating of Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Nepal
and a draw with India in the South Asia Cup, everyone expected and believed that Afghanistan
deserved to win this cup. The red card for the
Afghanistan goalkeeper which was a biased decision
by the referee in the second half faltered and
damaged the solid performance of Afghanistan
team.
On a slight foul from Afghan player on Indian player,
the referee gave a penalty kick for India which
caused the protest of Afghan goalkeeper. The referee
showed a red card for the Afghan keeper, Hmidullah
Yousofzay. The substitute keeper was not able to
save the penalty and the first goal scored.
While in the first half Afghanistan team deserved the
game and had some opportunities, but in the
second half the Indian players played in an attacking
formation with more ball possession.
Bilal Arezoo, the lead scorer of Afghanistan who
played very well in this tournament missed an excellent opportunity when 24 minutes passed from the
game.

Sports
Afghanistan could not control the game in the last 15 minutes and India scored his second goal at the
79th minute. Following that the third goal scored in 80th minute and also in the last minutes of
stoppage time the fourth goal scored by Indian players. So Afghanistan took the second place in the
tournament. Sport experts in the country believe that the referee decision was not fair against Afghanistan goalkeeper and that was a clear mistake. Muhammad Yousef Kargar, Afghanistan coach said: All
the viewers are witness of this clear mistake and it was a clear conspiracy with plan.
The India media also have written about this subject and the referees clear mistake. Mr.Kargar said that
in an Indian newspaper it was written that "The referee gave India a good gift." Afghanistan
goalkeepers sending off which was the reason of the lost induced the officials to complain about that
for FIFA. These all cant change the result but may cause a life time ban for Sakhbir Sing, the Indianorigin referee. Going through this stage despite the fact that you cant compare this team with any of
the teams he played with, brought hope for the football fans in the country.
Muhammad Yousef Kargar, Afghanistan Football teams coach who is hopeful for the future of team
asked from the government officials especially the National Olympic Committee to pay more attention
for football. And noted that: the players who became vice-champions in South Asia faced with many
difficulties. The South Asia tournament held once in every two years in one of the eight member countries who have the membership of this tournament. And this is the first time Afghanistan is taking the
second place.
Sports
Best forward and attacking line; Afghanistan has the

best attacking line with 12 scored goals. After
Afghanistan, India has 9 scored goals with three
goals deference.
In the second group, Mildew which is the best team
of its group has only four scored goals which show
the weakness of this groups attacking line.
Meanwhile, the Afghan Taekwondo team qualified
for 2012 London Olympic in Thailand by winning
medals which is another honor for Afghanistan.
These games held in Thailand for qualifying to
London 2012 Olympic, Nasar Ahmad Bahawi could
win all his games and won the gold medal. Ruhullah
Nikpaa also qualified for London Olympic by wining
bronze medal.
On the other hand Afghanistan cricket team won the
Asia Cricket Championship by defeating Hong Kong
in final. In the final Afghanistan cricket team played
against Hong Kong in Nepal.
Farid Hotak, the spokesman of cricket council said
that Afghanistan took this place with 8 points. Mr.
Hotak said: Afghanistan started the match and
defined 126 runs for Hong Kong who was not able to
reach that.
Ten teams participated in this tournament and
Afghanistan qualified as the top of group B where
Malaysia, Oman, Bhutan and Mildew were also in this
group.
Wining this tournament paved the way for Afghanistan for participating in 2012 Cricket world cup in Sri
Lanka.
According to one of the Afghanistan cricket teams
officials; they have arranged plans for the preliminary competitions of 2012 cricket world cup.
It is noteworthy that the preliminary competitions
for cricket world cup will start about one year later
and we wish success for our cricket team.
