Eyes of Afghanistan

They are in the society, if we specifically record videos of women, people will take out our eyes with their hands because even for the somehow liberal people in Afghanistan, recording their womenfolk is a line you don't cross. If you watch our videos from the city on YouTube, you will see women going on about their lives. We are not here for political scoring and that's why answered your question with the assumption that it's probably out of curiosity not political beliefs.

This place was such a distant location from Kabul that an Old Man asked one of our friends the shocking question of "who is the ruler in Kabul". After almost three years of Govt change & one of the history's biggest chapters, an old Man here in this remote area of #Afghanistan didn't know who is ruling #Kabul. He did, however, knew that the American invaders had ran away & its Govt changed, but wasn't aware of the current Prime Minister's name.
Beauty however in this village was breathtaking.
as you can see from the picture, the air in this area was probably the cleanest.

This restaurant has one of the most diverse menu of Western & eastern cuisines, & is surprisingly reasonable in prices, as well as in maintaining quality standard of the food. We had American steak, Afghan lamb steaks, Chinese chawmin, A large Shrimp 🦐 Pizza.
Drinks included Mojito, Mint Margarita, Chocolate shake.
And we also had one of the best rolled icecreams 🍨 of Afghanistan here.

Here is a simple yet extremely delicious lunch on a winter afternoon in Kabul, #Afghanistan.
#Rice cooked with spices & garlic, salad(or as we call it salata since this is chopped) and chakni( tomato sauce made from green tomatoes and chillies).
All this is homemade, not from a restaurant.
And like every meal in Afghanistan, this one was also followed by Tea(saffron tea in this case)

A #massive irrigation project is underway in the north of #Afghanistan that will forever change the agriculture of the area.
Queshtepa #Canal is an artificial Canal of 285+ km taking water from the Amu Darya river & passing through three afghan Provinces namely Balkh, faryab & jowzjan. The first phase of this Canal(108 km) is completed at 95% & work on it should soon be finished. This Project with an estimated cost of #$500 million( acc to Previous Govt estimates, #$5 billion was needed)is completely financed through domestic revenue. Zero outsider help is sought in this project which makes it the first of its kind since past 5 decades.

Salar shah village, gyan district, Paktika Province, #Afghanistan.
Last year in June, Afghanistan was hit 🎯 by a powerful earthquake that destroyed 99% of this village & a dozen more villages across Afghanistan. However, the resilience & hospitality of these people didn't suffer anything. When we went there, they tried to serve us with whatever they had & apologized above all that they couldn't serve us well. Despite our constant insistence, they still served us green tea with sweets.

Ziyafat is a newly opened restaurant at the heart of Kabul city and it's the only Afghan Restaurant bringing International & Afghan cuisines together with 10/10 standards.
You will literally get Lost in their menu while selecting your choices.
This Restaurant was opened about 7 months ago at the time when everyone claimed Afghan economy has collapsed to the point of no Return. However, on the ground, everywhere you go, you see new Markets, shops, restaurants & Gas stations being built in absolutely nowhere on the side of roads.

The Absolute beauty of village life. While it was a sunny hot summer out in the city, this valley called kopak in Surkhab district of Logar Province was absolutely stunning. A villager spread this carpet with cushions & pillows for us under the apricot trees. The temperature here, unlike the city, was very low & it felt like one of those chilly spring days. We ate apples right from the trees & fresh raw yogurt with eggs brought by the same local villager.
In #Afghanistan, when you go outside the cities & enter any village across the country, you need not to worry about food, shelter & security, it is one of the oldest cultural traits of Afghans which is still intact throughout most of the country.
As we mention in our posts, we will strive to show you an #Afghanistan away from politics, one that you have never seen before.

Nightlife in #Kabul.
All you know about #Afghanistan or what is shown in media is destruction & choas. However, #Afghanistan is a country of 40 million people, and its capital, Kabul, inhabits about 5 million people currently. Not all of us have the luxury to pack our stuff & leave Afghanistan for the West, and the idea of evacuating all Afghans or Afghan women in itself is an imperialistic mindset where the Westerners believe that they are the saviours of Humanity & advocates of Democracy as well as Freedom. Afghans have a country for themselves called Afghanistan & we will build it back from ashes. Below video is just a short glimpse of nightlife & activities. The lavish big buildings you see in this video are wedding halls packed with families gathered for wedding ceremonies.
We also believe Nostr will be the ultimate medium for us to send our message to Global citizens blocked by Legacy Media & Govts from seeing the truth. We are active on YouTube because for now it's the dominant Video platform, however, we are building an audience here because YouTube will be blocking us anyday they wish.

Showing you Afghanistan through Afghanistan lens. For the past 20 years, Afghanistan had no grassroot local, media representation, because the Americans labeled everyone a terrorist, who didn't confirm to their delusionary view of Democracy & Freedom.
We are now doing that. Showing you Afghanistan from inside Afghanistan, we are based here, we are raised here & we will die here.

Beautiful Tangi Valley of Wardak province. Beautiful valley was one of the most dangerous places for US & its Allies once, it was here where the the CH-47D Chinook helicopter of the US Military was downed in 2011with an RPG, killing all those onboard(38), including 17 US Navy Seals, 2 USAF Pararescue, 1 USAF CCT, a pilot & two crewmen of US Army Reserve, a pilot & crewman of US National Guard, Seven Afghan Soldiers & an Afghan interpreter. The people of this valley lost hundreds of men, women, children & elderly people to the 20 years of US Occupation. This valley, however, now is one of the most peaceful places on earth with a charming beauty lying between two mountains with a river flowing in the middle of the valley.
