On Wednesday 16th of august, rocket attacks on a base of Canadian troops in the Jalai district of Kandahar province left six Canadian soldiers wounding.

Recently Insecurity and suicide attacks against coalition forces and Afghan forces are not stopped but increasing in southern Afghanistan. Last week on 31st of July U.S forces handed over the peace keeping responsibility in southern Afghanistan to NATO forces.
NATO authorities have mentioned that this mission would be the most difficult one in 57 years of this organization.
The most important thing which nowadays people expecting from NATO forces is to avoid killing civilian as U.S forces had killed and destroyed many villages by air strike.
They say; how long this land should burn in fire and how long we should hear war and war. More than two decades of war, everything demolished.
Although I believe that no differ between U.S and forces and NATO being in Afghanistan but the most important things are to not experience the mistakes from previous. For the last years of American troops in southern Afghanistan nothing has changed rather than strengthening the Taliban and terrorists.
- NATO should pay attention in the following facts which are mostly sensitive for Afghanistan and its people.
- Training the Afghan National Army and Police which are mostly involved in smuggling and Mafia.
- Involving in helping and reconstruction and helping the repatriated refugees from neighboring countries.
Respecting the people’s religious believes and traditions which are very sensitive.
I believe if they pay attention in the above sentences and receive the experiences from American forces they will succeed if not, their destiny would be the same as coalition forces has experience in the past years.

We set forth not war anymore
But we killed in suicide
We remain in a fleeting dream
We are in un-certain steps
Towards the smile
Towards to love the other
But we are far enough
We have
Long walk to peace and prosperity
Long way to freedom
Dream for democracy
i was sick in a few days back and my mother, close to say good bye blog and the world. Thanks God i am fine now!

On may 29 a road accident by coalition forces caused a bloody riot in Kabul city on Monday as known yet tens of people were killed in and more than hundred including the police forces wounded.
The riot began while a coalition force vehicle heavily loaded was cruising down from a slopping way hit the coalition vehicle then a tax, leaving one dead and six civilians wounded badly. Very soon people are gathering to witness the accident; suddenly they began throwing stones on coalition forces and police. The coalition force and police were surrounded by protestors to disperse them coalition force and police open fire on them which left more dead and wounded. A report says that the victims are exceeded from 45 people.

The only thing which made people suspicious and pessimistic to the government are the deals and agreements which signed hidden and not giving reports or notice to the citizens. Such deals made people change their motivation and view to the government. For example a few days before their was an argument in parliament about why coalition forces are killing the civilians and why the U.S soldiers periodically killed the ANA (afghan national army) soldiers even did not excused?
As the U.S army spokesman told to media that it was a mistake but on the other side they should remind that this mistakes harm the honor and the reputation of the Karzai government. U.S soldiers should give report to the government and government has the responsibility to inform the citizens. They should clarify that why they attack on the villages which they have no specific information about the Taliban which attacked from where? Taliban are alike guerilla, they do not have a specific base.
This would not help to remove the Taliban from this territory easily. U.S and coalition army should handle the heavy job in supporting the Afghan police and Afghan army to teach them how to handle struggle against the insurgents inside the country. Because Afghans know their land better than foreign troops. This will reduce the numbers of victims.
Otherwise, if they do not pay attention, this may lead the future of this country to difficulties to numerous. The government should listen to their citizen what people request for. The government should clarify each step going forward with their dealers. The government should reports annually what has done and what are pending.

Recently Karzai has delivered the list of new cabinets which involved mostly from intellectuals and the some of them with communist background, there is a hope for the people for betterment of tomorrow.
On the other side people are all aware what is going on in this country. People aware of ANA (afghan national army) and police authorities who directly involved in poppy smuggling and mafia. The interior ministry bases and police bases are diverted to base of smuggling. The mechanism of new management and changes have made no sense in decreasing the number of victims against insurgents in the country. However they are trying to deny their inaccuracies but among the people this is not something like not hide from view. The victim increasing due to lack of an organized management and mechanism.
Sadly to say that opposite of common expectations the new cabinet the number of crucial ministry occupied by non-professionals and not adequate figures. There was some which couldn’t get enough votes and didn’t have the circumstances enough but recommended again and elected.The prior minister of interior ministry fired from his job, the previous ministry of financed fired from his job because they both were linked to Zahir shah, Karzai afraid of those two, this was only to take a step ahead for preventing of clashes. And the new changes has no clear reason than hiring relatives and friends. They are not thinking about making a united nation, a power nation to forget the past of discrimination; to forgive and forget they were killing each other but they are only like a group mafia which only thinks about position and earning bucks. This is like a catastrophe which the dealer and Afghan authorities running in this country.
There is not proposed a framework of organized basic management and maintenances and nothing heard about. International communities observing how the things are hang to refresh the deal.

Increasingly suicide bombing and attacks around the country especially in the southern against international and American forces made embarrassed those whom are involved in the game especially the U.S.A. This caused to an ill-considered action against rebels.
Military operations against Taliban and Alqaeda are nothing else but propaganda. What got the result of the latest operations and what were the previous operation results if did the operation?
Never heard the U.S military operation arrested the insurgents.
These kinds of operations not only decreased tension but doubled and changing people view badly. The fumblingly bombardment by U.S and international forces over the villagers in different area made an indignation among the people. This is increasing day by day not only in the southern but spread among other villagers. On the other side Taliban and Al Qaeda are strengthening day by day
The U.S military operations this time was a tragic event. According to coalition forces spokesman they killed more than 30 civilian in Kandahar and Zabul provinces. Among the victims there were many women and children. This time also repeated as the last deals; Karzai and coalition forces authorities satisfied only expressing excuses on their mistakes.
Again they announced seriously that they will investigate why they are killing the civilian, why they are killing the homeless people. The afghan people already knew such hallow promises and nothing got from investigations, this time wouldn’t be better than previous but reaped.
As we have parliament now, but I am amazing what they are dealing about? At least they should take a bit responsibility against crimes and tragic events in the country which driving to a terrible future. At least to bring their voice up why this tragic is not ending in our country??

On the way from Torkham border to Peshawar the car engine caused a problem, and we waited for a long time in the valley. I tried to talk some more with children who were surrounded the car. I couldn’t speak Pashto but a bit. They were asking me about Canadian soldiers in the south. They told me that a Canadian soldier killed their brother who was innocent. I told them I am not familiar with such issues and asked them why they were interested to know such things. They told me; this is our job as a Muslim. I asked bout their education; they told me they are going to the mosque to be trained by a local religious leader. I asked them if they have weapons in their houses. They told me that all people in the Tribal Aeria are armed.
It became dark when the car was fixed. The car was like a van. Other cars stopped on the way in front of mosque in the valley. An aged man called every one to get out of their cars and going to pray. Late at night I arrived in Peshawar.
On the border while the passport office stamped my visa for entering, I brought my camera out from my packet to snap the man who was selling nuts and fruits. Suddenly he shouted at me and ran towards me holding a short stick. I was surprised and shocked of what went on while the others just looked when the man attacked me. I took up my bag from the ground, and stared to the man with his long beard and mustache. He took my hand and asked me why you are taking photo from me? I told him: I liked your shop and the fruits you are selling here. The picture would be a gift for my friends in Kabul, to show them that I saw a shop with good fruits and a good shopkeeper.
He started screaming and asked violently: "don’t you know taking photos is prohibited in Islam?" I told him, I am sorry, I really don’t know, but I apologize to you, I didn’t take your photo. A policeman there came to me. He took the man off from me and I was relieved for a while. A person going to Kabul reached to me and said: "Don’t you know they are Taliban? don’t you know Taliban prohibited photography under their rule? I knew this from before but this was really an 'unawareness' scene for me.

The last five days I didn’t have access to my Blog while I was in Peshawar (northern of Pakistan). I tried many Net cafes in the city but ISPs blocked the Blogger service. I heard from someone that blog service was banned when the Mohammad cartoons made Pakistan Muslims mad. So, I am sorry for those who asked question and I left no answer for them. I was in a short trip to Peshawar. I snapped a lot on the going to Peshawar and staying there.
Peshawar is a place which was and is a settlement for Afghan refugees over the last decades. Peshawar was a place for growing different Afghan parties. All wickedness takes its rise from Peshawar. Peshawar was a place for growing up the kernel of Taliban and a good place for ISI to well-versed in Afghan geopolitics and tools for Pakistan to help for U.S wants.
The U.S helped Mujaheedin parties to fight against the Soviet Union. Those who were trained and armed by the U.S. are now standing against the U.S. If you go to Peshawar, walls of mosques and homes there are full with slogans like "America get the hell out of here", "U.S. wants to make Afghanistan the center of chaos", "U.S. wants to vandalize the basics of our believes, we do not allow U.S in Afghanistan" and a lot more.
(I wanted to snap some these chants but a person prevented that the tribal area is not safe, so I should be careful). On Fridays Mullas (religious guys in mosques) gather people for praying. They start speeching about Islam commands and guidance but step by step go to political issues like Afghanistan, Kashmir, Iraq and Palestine. They are telling a few verses of Qoran and tell believers to be aware of their jobs, which God sent to them through Mohammad. When the prayers become provocative enough, they call them to Jihad against U.S. in Afghanistan and Iraq.
In Peshawar lots of religious schools run with the support of Saudi Arabs and some religious Arab and Pakistani guys. In those schools you can find students from different countries, like Afghanistan, Chechnya, Arab countries and from Africa. Most issues they learn about are related to Islam. They are getting trained to defend Islam, they are trained how to get ready for suicide attacking against those who are armed to the teeth. They believe this is the only way to make upset those friends which look after them as an evil. They believe that after such a suicide they are shifting to heaven directly by angels which come from God. They have strong believes in their religion...

As the news of Abdul Rahman vastly spread out in the world of Christianity, many countries called for sympathetic and supporting him. In the first days President Karzai received a phone call from the U.S foreign ministry Condoleesa Rice doubled tension among those Muslims toughed believers in the country. Converting to another religion from Islam is not easily driving to death but cogitating and more analyzing the condition and the situation.
On Wednesday morning reported to media that Abdul Rahman released from prison due to mental problem. But media still pointing on this issue that sparked a serious controversy inside the country. When the judiciary announced that Abdul Rahman should be executed according to Shariah law and a constitution because of converting to Christianity.
A few days before Abdul Rahman had said to the court: “they want to kill me because I am Christian. I believe in Christianity it means I am not infidel”.
His family told to media that he is an infidel and having mental problem but he himself told to media that I am in a good health and I am not afraid of execution, I will not get back to Islam.
Although various international leaders and countries asked from President Karzai to reconsider this issue and some of them warned that if Abdul Rahman go to death they will take out their soldiers from Afghanistan. Pope Benedictus also asked for a fair trial from Karzai.
Abdul Rahman was releasing while tens of fundamentalist parties were coming around to arrange a huge demonstration against U.S.A and those countries which are directly asked for releasing Abdul Rahman. Although thousands of people run on the street in northern to protest against U.S.
Anyway Afghan government released him from prison; this was not accidentally but so wisely from Afghanistan government. If this issue would get a week longer surely it was another controversial subject as Danish cartoonist. Some believed that this may cause for provoking those who still having the shadow of Taliban in the southern.
I believe that this was only a collusion in the country. This was a serious threat against U.S and Karzai government especially for the latest changes which entered talented figures in his cabinet from previous communist regime which Muslim fundamentalists oppose on them. This can be a reason otherwise what is the necessity to carry out the Bible on the street and shows for the others that I become a Christian. We have Hindus and Christian in the country and they are living peacefully. The Christians have church in the capital I am sure the government knows about it.
Abdul Rahman lived for a long time in Pakistan and was known in the past as a fundamentalist. He had worked for Mudjaheedin and had fought against the Soviet Union. Many were talking that he was accused to espionage for ISI. This makes clear for people that he was an active member of Jamiat Islami party which was lead by Ahmadshah Masood, a warlord (The warlord who destroyed the Kabul city vastly). Assassinated by a suspected terrorist just a week before September 11, 2001. In recent years Abdul Rahman was living in Germany, but was deported last year after his asylum seeking was rejected. Abdul Rahman went out of the country but now caused a big tension in the country which can not be stopped soon very easily.
