A Storied Female Warlord Surrenders, Taliban Say, Exposing Afghan Weakness
Bibi Ayesha, also known as Commander Kaftar, a rare female warlord in Afghanistan, has been a formidable figure in the country's long-standing conflict. Despite her age and health issues, she maintained an undefeated record in the wars she fought. However, the Taliban recently announced that Commander Kaftar has surrendered to them, as confirmed by local officials in Baghlan Province and her relatives. The surrender was seen as a necessary move for survival, given that her position was heavily compromised with surrounding militias defecting to the Taliban, leaving her with no viable options to continue her resistance.

Hairatan, Afghanistan: From Military Base to Commercial Port
Hairatan, located 80 kilometers from Mazar-i-Sharif in northern Afghanistan, is a significant and secure port for Afghan traders. Once a Soviet military base during the Soviet-Afghan war, it has transformed into a commercial port, now crucial for Afghanistan's trade, particularly in oil and gas. Despite challenges such as security threats from the Taliban, particularly in Baghlan province, and the need for riverbank fortifications against the Amu River, Hairatan has seen substantial investment and growth. The port's revenue has increased, and it plays a key role in Afghanistan's trade with Central Asian countries, Russia, and China, facilitated by the 'One Belt, One Road' initiative.
Nowruz Ceremony in Mazar-i-Sharif Held in a Secure Environment with the Presence of Ashraf Ghani
The Nowruz ceremony in Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan, was held in a secure environment and marked by the first attendance of President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani in the Balkh province center. The event, which also saw the presence of ministers and foreign diplomats, followed regional traditions including the raising of a flag associated with the shrine of Hazrat Ali. Despite the city being a historical host to thousands of Afghan citizens for Nowruz celebrations, this year saw a reduced public turnout. The ceremony took place amid heightened security measures and recent political tensions between Ghani and the former governor of Balkh, Atta Mohammad Noor, over the province's security command, which had led to armed conflict resulting in 18 injuries.
Valentine's Day and the challenges of the people of Afghanistan in celebrating 'Lovers' Day'
Valentine's Day is gaining popularity among the youth in Afghanistan despite facing challenges due to traditional views. Celebrations are seen in cities like Kabul, Herat, and Mazar-i-Sharif, with young couples exchanging gifts and flowers. The market for Valentine's Day, however, is not as booming as in previous years. Some citizens, like Ahmad Samim Jabari and Nesar Arianfar, celebrate with their partners, while others like Beheshta Khurram and Shiba Nazari find deeper meaning in the day. The article suggests that while traditional views still exist, there is a gradual shift towards more open expressions of love and celebration of special days.
Bowling, the new entertainment for men and women in Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan
In the traditionally conservative society of Afghanistan, women's participation in sports and recreational activities was once frowned upon. However, the mindset of citizens has been changing with the establishment of recreational and sports centers in various cities. Mazar-i-Sharif, after the establishment of a temporary government in Afghanistan, has seen more reconstruction compared to other cities, creating a more conducive environment for work, education, and women's access to sports and recreational facilities. Two years ago, a bowling alley opened in Mazar-i-Sharif, attracting 150 to 200 customers daily, including over 50 women and girls. Women who visit this recreational and sports facility believe that the years of pain, captivity, and misery have ended. The bowling alley, which also includes a snooker area and a coffee shop, has been well-received by the residents, allowing families and friends to play together in a safe and friendly environment. Security threats and violence against women remain concerns, but the presence of such facilities is seen as a positive step towards creating a more inclusive space for women in the city.
