The U.S. military retreated from Afghanistan two years ago, leaving behind weapons that are now turning up in far-flung trouble spots where terrorists are fighting and killing America’s allies. In markets, merchants with Taliban permits are offering U.S.-made automatic assault rifles and handguns for sale. Business, like terrorism, is thriving. These weapons were offered for sale at the ad hoc bazaars that were organized by the Taliban. Weapons like rockets and bombs, shoulder-fired grenade launchers, night vision goggles, sniper rifles and scopes, and ammunition were priced in Afghanis, rupees, and dollars.

The interim government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa requested the Higher Education Commission (HEC) to discontinue all associate degree programs within the province. Following this, the HEC formally announced the closure of these programs across the entire region. The background of these associate degree programs dates back to 2012 and 2013, when BS degrees were not yet formally integrated into college prospectuses. However, as time progressed, it became apparent that students were not expressing substantial interest in pursuing associate degree programs. Considering the constantly low levels of interest, the Higher Education Commission decided to eliminate all associate programs throughout Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The…

Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) is home to a substantial population of school-aged children who are unable to attend school due to the closure of several educational facilities following the resurgence of terrorism and the aftermath of last year’s catastrophic floods in the province. This is despite the province having a proper educational network consisting of thousands of learning centers. The provision of quality education to children offers some hope for a better tomorrow. A country that is already dealing with crippling finances, combating rising crime, and suffering from pervasive social injustice also has millions of children out of school. The Benazir Income…
With the Taliban’s taking the throne in August 2021, many Afghans feared facing the repression that characterized the violent rule by the militant groups in the 1990s. After seizing power, they tried to bribe the local people and international communities by projecting themselves as a more moderate force and pledging to uphold human rights and press freedom. But after taking over the nation and toppling the Western-backed Afghan government two years ago, they have fallen short of their promises and instead have severely restricted the rights of women, carried out a savage crackdown on dissent, and reinstated their ruthless system…

The Simurgh initially reminds one of the Batmobile. The supercar has flared wheel arches and is all-black and low-slung, giving it a fast appearance.But as you get a closer look, it becomes obvious that this car is unique in comparison to the dozens of other cars on exhibit at the Doha edition of the Geneva International Motor Show.Visitors were not permitted to open the doors since the interiors have not yet been built and the windshield’s sealing is uneven. But the Simurgh’s origins in Afghanistan, where the Taliban seized power two years ago, may be its most peculiar characteristic.According to…
