  • Facts & Figures
    Islamic Republic of Afghanistan Capital Region Independent Development Authority FACTS & FIGURES crida.gov.af [email protected] crida.afg crida_afg crida.afg crida.afg Messages H.E. President of Islamic Republic of Afghanistan Cities should be livable not only in terms of their physical structure but also socially and culturally. We must remove outdated bureaucratic hurdles and red tape, and formulate the right policies for urban planning and housing. Urban affairs have been the focus of our attention during the past years, and we now have the opportunity of practical implementation. Development of affordable housing will not be exclusive to the civilian sector, affordable housing will be extended to the personnel of all Army Corps. Referring to the fact that cities and villages underpin the nation, work on strengthening ties between cities and villages has been initiated, and ties between cities and villages feature in our planning for strengthening a national marketplace. CEO of Capital Region Independent Development Authority The absence of sound urban environment in the Capital of the country has caused this city with huge challenges, where considering its insignificant concentrated commercial and service centers, the population increases, along with the graph of problems also moves upward. Therefore, to address the issue, the solution should be mainstreamed in the capital region including Kabul, Parwan, Kapisa, Maidan Wardak and Logar Provinces. Capital Region Independent Development Authority (CRIDA) is established with the vision to lay down strong platform to address the current issues through rehabilitating the originality of capital zone, by developing a dynamic, self-sustained, self-reliant city, equipped with standardized infrastructure, public facilities, commercial, social and cultural centers.

  • Threnody for the Victims SAAJS.Pdf
    Dedicated to Mothers who grieve in their heart for their lost loved ones, and all of sorrowful victims and survivors of the last three decades of war, in hope for the day when the realization of justice heals their wounds. Prologue Afghanistan is a country with her history composed of pride and yet legendary for her exploited people’s pain and blood on one side and on the other hand dirtied with the despotism and crimes of her dark rulers. The mournful people of this land have never enjoyed a basic life especially in recent decades. There is no family who does not have the pain of losing a loved one in the prison or on the battlefield and has not felt the troubles of displacement and homelessness. There are no victims and survivors who have not experienced the psychological and physical traumas of life calamities as widow, orphan or disabled. And there is no compatriot that has not tasted the bitterness of poverty and adversity because the private and public assets were looted directly or perished during the wars. Additionally, the collapse of economic, social, cultural and administrative structure has created a huge gap in the national unity, accompanied by the spread of violent culture as the legacy of war and autocratic regimes. It will take many years to change it into a progressive culture. These are the factors that have submerged Afghanistan into vast human rights calamities. sognama qurbanian 4 In the last thirty years, whoever has taken power has nailed their own benefits into our people’s head and have gained in the cost of other’s depravation.
