    AFGHANISTAN COMING FULL CIRCLE ©Sergio Ramazzotti Camp Shorabak, Helmand, 2010. The Afghan National Army’s water polo team in the camp’s swimming pool during their weekly training. Herat area, 2018, members of the Taliban belonging to the Mullah Niazi group inside the Mullah’s stronghold. After 20 years, the country’s old regime is back In Afghanistan the year 2021 marks the 20th anniversary of the 2001 war which was supposed to topple the Taliban regime. These last two decades coincide with the childhood and adolescence of the country’s younger generation. For the past 30 years, since the last Soviet soldier left Afghanistan after a decade of occupation, the country has known only conflict, terror and instability. The population has endured a long civil war, an oppressive regime, another invasion in 2001, and has heard an endless number of announcements about reconstruction plans, troop surges, exit strategies, peace conferences and political deals which would finally bring peace to their exhausted land. The latest of these deals was reached in Qatar in 2020, between the U.S. and the same people – the Taliban – which the Coalition forces fought 20 years ago. And now that the U.S. has pulled its last troops out of the country, the Taliban are finallly back to full power, fulfilling the prophecy that one of their leaders, the deceased Mullah Omar, once made to the Americans: “You have all the watches, but we have all the time”. Not much has changed since that last Soviet soldier left in 1989. And with the Taliban regime at the helm of the country, it is not yet clear whether, and how, anything will change in the near future.

  • Chronology of Events in Afghanistan, December 2003*
    Chronology of Events in Afghanistan, December 2003* December 1 Afghans begin registering for first elections. (Reuters) The United Nations has begun registering the first of an estimated 10.5 million Afghans expected to vote in their country's first free elections in 2004. The registration process began in the city of Kandahar on November 30 and was extended to seven other cities, including Kabul on December 1, said Catarina Fabiansson, spokeswoman for the U.N. election office in Afghanistan. All Afghans aged over 18 by June 20, 2004, are qualified to register to elect a national president in the elections, which are due to be held in June 2004. There will be separate registration sites for men and women. Fabiansson said most of those to register initially will be the 19,000 district representatives who have the job of electing a Loya Jirga, or Grand Assembly, due to meet from December 10 to approve a new constitution. Ordinary people would have the chance to register in the towns of Bamiyan and Herat, and general registration would be extended to other cities in December. Fabiansson said the project would be extended to the provinces, then to villages and was expected to be completed by early 2004. Former regional Taliban official arrested in Jalalabad. (Associated Press / AP) A man who served as a regional police commander in Afghanistan during the Taliban regime was arrested for alleged involvement in attacks against Afghan forces, an official said. Maulvi Sahib-ul Haq was arrested in Jalalabad, the capital of the province of Nangarhar, by Afghan security forces, said Ziauddin, an Afghan intelligence official.

  • The Boxers of Kabul: Women, Boxing and Islam
    The Boxers of Kabul: Women, Boxing and Islam Hillary Kipnis and Dr Jayne Caudwell University of Brighton Introduction In this chapter we focus on women who box, in particular Muslim women who box. Within Sport Studies and the Sociology of Sport there is limited discussion of this topic; Mitra (2009) offers one of few accounts. In the literature, there exist broader discussions surrounding women, Islam and sport and/or physical activity (cf. Benn et al., 2010; Hargreaves, 2001; Kay, 2006; Walseth and Fasting, 2003), as well as analyses related to the histories of women boxers (Hargreaves, 1997; van Ingen, 2013), women’s boxing bodies (Halbert, 1997; Mennesson, 2000), boxing uniforms (van Ingen and Kovacs, 2012), boxing and the Olympics (Lindner, 2012), and women boxers in film (Boyle et al., 2006; Caudwell, 2008; Fojas, 2009). Many of these contributions take a feminist perspective to the sport of boxing. The 2012 London Olympics provides a watershed moment, globally, for women’s entitlement to box. Until very recently, numerous national and international governing bodies of boxing ruled against providing the opportunity for women and girls to box. In 1988, the Swedish Amateur Boxing Association was one of the first to withdraw bans and sanctions against women and girls. The UK was slow to follow and the case of Jane Couch MBE, a decade later, illustrates the depth of sexism involved. On 15th August, 1998, Couch successfully reversed— via an industrial tribunal—the British Boxing Board of Control ruling that refused her a boxing license on the grounds that premenstrual syndrome made women ‘unsuitable’.

  • Hosseini's Advocacy in the Kite Runner Binod Sapkota Lecturer
    https://doi.org/ 10.3126/batuk.v7i1.35347 THE BATUK : A Peer Reviewed Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies 65 Vol. 7, Issue No.1, January 2021, Page: 65-73 ISSN 2392-4802 Voicing the Voiceless: Hosseini's Advocacy in The Kite Runner Binod Sapkota Lecturer, Tribhuvan University Email: [email protected] Abstract In the novel The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini explores the contemporary history in the background of Afghanistan. The text paints an eye-opening picture of what Afghanistan was and what it has become, and vividly describes how the combination of war can devastate a country and people. In this light, this paper, using a New Historicist gaze,demonstrates that Hosseini's purpose in the novel is to account for how the decadence of war has rendered people powerless amidst of violence. Specifically, I argue that Hosseini by showing the predicament of the people of minority and the innocent advocates for their voice. The paper concludes that the wars of any forms become more damaging to the people of margin. Keywords: history, new historicism, margin, power, hegemony, minority In the recent history, the world noticed Afghanistan once the Soviet army overthrew Hafizullah Amin, who had pronounced himself as the leader of the Communist party “khalq” (people) and as the president of Afghanistan after eliminating his predecessor Noor Mohammad Tarakee, who had come to power throughout Soviet-backed coup more than a year earlier in 1977 (Barfield 97). Amin’s horrifying reign in the last months of 1978 was short-lived. It took the Soviets only five months to replace him with the exiled Babrak Karmal, who was the leader of the other Communist party “parcham” (the flag).

  • The Kite Runner
    The Kite Runner Khaled Hosseini Source: http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/the-kite-runner/ 1 Context Khaled Hosseini was born in Kabul, Afghanistan, on March 4, 1965, and was the oldest of five children. Just as he describes in The Kite Runner, Kabul was a cosmopolitan city at the time. Western culture, including movies and literature, mixed with Afghan traditions, such as kite fighting in the winter. Lavish parties were normal at the Hosseini family’s home in the upper-middle class neigborhood of Wazir Akbar Khan. Hosseini’s father served as a diplomat with the Afghan Foreign Ministry, and his mother taught Farsi and history at a local high school for girls. Then, in 1970, the Foreign Ministry sent his father to Iran. While the family only spent a few years there, Hosseini taught a Hazara man, who worked as a cook for the family, how to read and write. By this time, Khaled Hosseini was already reading Persian poetry as well as American novels, and he began writing his own short stories. Repeated moves marked the next decade of the Hosseini family’s life. They returned to Kabul in 1973, the year Mohammad Daoud Khan, overthrew his cousin, Zahir Shah, the Afghan King, in a coup d’etat. The Afghan Foreign Ministry relocated the Hosseini family to Paris in 1976. Though they hoped to return to Afghanistan in 1980, that was not possible because of a military invasion by the Soviet Union. Instead, the Hosseinis moved to San Jose, California after they were granted political asylum in the United States.

  • The Kite Runner
    THE KITE RUNNER by KHALED HOSSEINI Published 2003 Afghan Mellat Online Library www.afghan-mellat.org.uk _December 2001_ I became what I am today at the age of twelve, on a frigid overcast day in the winter of 1975. I remember the precise moment, crouching behind a crumbling mud wall, peeking into the alley near the frozen creek. That was a long time ago, but it's wrong what they say about the past, I've learned, about how you can bury it. Because the past claws its way out. Looking back now, I realize I have been peeking into that deserted alley for the last twenty-six years. One day last summer, my friend Rahim Khan called from Pakistan. He asked me to come see him. Standing in the kitchen with the receiver to my ear, I knew it wasn't just Rahim Khan on the line. It was my past of unatoned** sins. After I hung up, I went for a walk along Spreckels Lake on the northern edge of Golden Gate Park. The early-afternoon sun sparkled on the water where dozens of miniature boats sailed, propelled by a crisp breeze. Then I glanced up and saw a pair of kites, red with long blue tails, soaring in the sky. They danced high above the trees on the west end of the park, over the windmills, floating side by side like a pair of eyes looking down on San Francisco, the city I now call home.
