[00:09:28] review the latest news from Afghanistan. From here, we start the news line.
[00:09:32] The Ministry of Agriculture of Kazakhstan says that from September
[00:09:35] of last year until now, 2.4 million tons of grain have been
[00:09:39] exported to Afghanistan, which shows a 57%
[00:09:42] increase compared to the same period last year.
[00:09:45] More details in the report.
[00:09:49] The Ministry of Agriculture of Kazakhstan says that the country's grain exports to
[00:09:53] Afghanistan have increased by 57% compared to last
[00:09:56] year. After the closure of trade routes between Afghanistan
[00:10:00] and Pakistan, Afghan traders have turned to Central Asian countries
[00:10:03] and Iranian ports for food imports.
[00:10:06] Meanwhile, the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation, and Livestock says
[00:10:10] that Afghanistan needs nearly
[00:10:12] 7 million tons of grain annually, about half of which is supplied
[00:10:16] through imports. This ministry emphasizes that serious efforts are also
[00:10:20] underway to increase domestic grain production.
[00:10:22] Productions in
[00:10:45] improved seeds, technical advice will
[00:10:48] increase domestic production and
[00:10:52] in the future lead to self-sufficiency.
[00:10:56] On the other hand, the Chamber of Agriculture and Livestock Production says that
[00:10:59] Afghanistan has vast lands for agriculture that can
[00:11:03] increase domestic wheat and grain production and, through water management,
[00:11:07] distribution of improved seeds, and mechanization of agriculture, take
[00:11:11] significant steps towards self-sufficiency in this regard. Within
[00:11:15] Afghanistan, we have very high capacities. We have
[00:11:18] very good, vast lands for growing grains and
[00:11:22] also wheat. Plants
[00:11:44] contribute to domestic production
[00:11:46] and products. According to information from the Ministry of
[00:11:50] Agriculture, Irrigation, and Livestock, last year throughout Afghanistan,
[00:11:53] 4.54 million.
[00:12:25] for our compatriots to create facilities.
[00:12:28] Before, it was
[00:12:31] from one.
[00:13:01] The third phase of the construction project, which is 50 kilometers long, is
[00:13:05] practically underway in various
[00:13:07] parts.
[00:13:12] part is considered part of Afghanistan's ring road,
[00:13:15] which stretches towards
[00:13:19] Badghis and the district of Balamragh
[00:13:22] in the same province. The project
[00:13:36] is progressing regularly.
[00:13:39] The construction
[00:13:41] of 25 kilometers of some parts was also practically underway
[00:13:45] through the Ministry of Public Works last year.
[00:13:49] The construction of the remaining parts
[00:13:52] will be between
[00:14:00] Faryab and
[00:14:02] the movement of people.
[00:14:07] On the other hand, a number of compatriots criticize
[00:14:11] the public works and ask
[00:14:14] the Ministry of Public Works to implement fundamental
[00:14:18] and long-term projects in the provinces.
[00:14:23] Work
[00:14:59] before this, Konar also
[00:15:01] announced
[00:15:03] the construction of
[00:15:07] roads.
[00:15:10] With the expansion of the country's transportation network, efforts are
[00:15:13] being made to provide safe and easy transportation for people
[00:15:17] and convenience
[00:15:17] for traders.
[00:15:27] Nearly 1 million pregnant and lactating women are
[00:15:31] at risk of severe malnutrition. The Ministry of
[00:15:34] Public Health, although it does not have exact figures,
[00:15:42] says that since the return of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan to power,
[00:15:46] more than 2,000 health centers have been activated
[00:15:49] across the
[00:15:50] country.
[00:15:53] Based on the World Food Program's predictions, this
[00:15:57] year, nearly 3.7 million children in
[00:16:00] Afghanistan will suffer from severe malnutrition, and
[00:16:04] in addition, about 1.2 million pregnant women and
[00:16:12] the World Food Program in Afghanistan says that Afghanistan is facing
[00:16:15] one of the most severe and prolonged malnutrition crises in the world,
[00:16:19] and it is possible that the current figures may
[00:16:23] even exceed previous
[00:16:25] predictions. The World Food Program has emphasized
[00:16:29] that expanding malnutrition treatment services is essential to prevent
[00:16:32] this crisis from deepening. Currently, this program
[00:16:36] does not have sufficient budget for malnutrition prevention
[00:16:40] programs and needs $540 million in urgent
[00:16:43] aid to continue its activities in the next
[00:16:47] six months. Dr. Sharaf Zaman Omerkhil, spokesman for the
[00:16:50] Ministry of Public Health, while acknowledging the existence of
[00:16:53] approximately 3.7 million mothers and children suffering from malnutrition
[00:16:57] across the country, adds that since the return
[00:17:01] of the Islamic Emirate to power, more than 2,000 health centers
[00:17:04] for malnutrition treatment have been activated.
[00:21:03] These types of training workshops are for journalists'
[00:21:06] work
[00:21:08] so that
[00:21:16] the problem
[00:21:51] With the emptying of a large part of Afghan refugee camps in
[00:21:55] Pakistan, concerns about the situation of families who
[00:21:58] are still present in this country have increased.
[00:22:02] Some migrants say that the process of their arrest and expulsion
[00:22:05] has intensified, and many families have been forced to leave
[00:22:09] the camps.
[00:22:10] have been
[00:22:18] emptied, and
[00:22:25] other various needs
[00:22:27] of the houses
[00:22:32] Experts emphasize that solving this crisis
[00:22:36] requires the cooperation of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and
[00:22:39] the international community, and the creation of a gradual, voluntary,
[00:22:42] and humanitarian process for the return and reintegration
[00:22:45] of migrants. Afghanistan should, with careful
[00:22:49] planning, provide settlement, employment,
[00:22:52] education, and basic services for returnees. Pakistan should
[00:22:56] also refrain from forced measures and political
[00:22:59] pressures, and manage the return of migrants in a gradual,
[00:23:03] humane, and with respect for their dignity.
[00:23:06] Meanwhile, the Islamic Emirate says that registration,
[00:23:10] transfer, and initial aid services are provided
[00:23:14] for returnees. According to officials, in one day, more than 380
[00:23:17] families returned from Iran and Pakistan.
[00:25:20] The reason for the cancellation of flights was the non-issuance of flight permits
[00:25:23] by the Indian aviation authorities, which currently causes
[00:25:27] this problem. Many flights to Kabul
[00:25:31] have returned to normal, and after this, they will be carried out
[00:25:35] immediately and regularly according to the announced schedule, just
[00:25:39] as the process of issuing operational flight permits is the same
[00:25:43] for all airlines. Therefore, the recent delays or
[00:25:46] cancellations of some flights on the Kabul-Delhi route
[00:25:50] were due to the Indian civil aviation
[00:25:52] authorities.
[00:25:54] Sir, currently, many flights
[00:25:57] between Kabul and Delhi are operating
[00:26:00] normally. During the disruptions, we thank the traders
[00:26:04] and passengers for their strong cooperation and trust, as they have
[00:26:08] cooperated in this regard. Currently,
[00:26:11] Ariana Afghan Airlines operates daily flights
[00:26:15] from Kabul
[00:26:17] normally and regularly, which has played an effective
[00:26:21] role in the trade and economic relations between the two
[00:26:24] countries. Ariana Afghan Airlines thanks its
[00:26:27] passengers for their cooperation and trust
[00:26:30] during the recent delays.
[00:26:38] and continues to provide timely air
[00:26:40] services.
[00:26:43] The Director-General of the Directorate of Preparedness and
[00:26:46] Disaster Management held a meeting with a number of
[00:26:50] aid organizations to attract aid for families affected
[00:26:53] by recent floods.
[00:26:55] A coordination
[00:26:57] meeting was held between the leadership of the Disaster Management
[00:27:01] Directorate and a number of organizations.
[00:27:09] Afghanistan has been severely affected by recent natural
[00:27:12] disasters, especially floods, and the process of providing
[00:27:15] aid to affected families should be accelerated.
[00:27:19] In this meeting, Mr. Torabi said that due to climate change
[00:27:23] and the effects of the El Niño phenomenon, the number
[00:27:26] of natural disasters, especially floods, has increased,
[00:27:30] and there is a possibility that other negative effects may occur
[00:27:33] in the country. He emphasized that organizations should use their existing
[00:27:37] resources to provide aid,
[00:27:40] because now is the time for action. He also requested
[00:27:43] that they submit their proposals for further
[00:27:47] assistance so that
[00:27:48] the damages
[00:27:54] and partners pledged to continue their
[00:27:57] assistance to the victims of recent natural disasters,
[00:28:01] especially flood victims.
[00:28:03] The representatives presented information about their completed activities
[00:28:07] and ongoing programs, and assured the Disaster Management
[00:28:10] Authority that aid
[00:28:12] and essential supplies have reached
[00:28:15] the areas of the country where people have suffered
[00:28:19] human and financial losses as a
[00:28:21] result of disasters. They also emphasized
[00:28:24] that the process of providing aid to the
[00:28:28] affected in the coming days will be further accelerated.
[00:30:02] The matters that have reached us in Islam are humanitarian
[00:30:06] and social. Our life in one place, no one should
[00:30:09] be harmed by our tongue, by our hands, by ourselves.
[00:30:13] These matters have been emphasized more, and if we think
[00:30:16] that the city and the market are our home, we are committed
[00:30:20] to those words and that path that the Holy Prophet of Islam chose,
[00:30:23] then we will not do such a thing. In the house where we live,
[00:30:27] we probably won't do such a thing. Outside, we have this feeling sometimes,
[00:30:31] and education is very important. Education is very important,
[00:30:34] which starts from the family. If we
[00:30:38] look at parents, parents should pay more serious attention in this field.
[00:30:41] Mr. Roshan, you might have noticed something. There are some people, for
[00:30:45] example, we see with our own eyes that they do such things in Kabul
[00:30:48] or in other cities or in Afghanistan, and as soon as they leave
[00:30:52] Afghanistan, they talk about the good things and beauties of other
[00:30:56] countries. They talk to us about their culture, while in their own country,
