[00:00:00] dormitories. Some residents of Kabul city say that in recent days, the prices of food and other essential items have increased. However, they are happy that recently there has been a relative decrease in the prices of oil and gas. At the same time, the mayor of Kabul says that price lists have been distributed for all basic necessities, including food and non-food items, throughout the city, and they are regularly monitored. In the past week, the price of diesel and petrol increased by 6 to 8 Afghanis per liter. However, in the last two days, the price of each liter of oil and each kilogram of gas has decreased by 2 Afghanis. Kabul residents are happy about this decrease, but they say it is not enough and prices should decrease even more. They are concerned that the prices of other items.
[00:00:30] Stay with us
[00:00:32] for
[00:00:36] National News. Here's the news:
[00:00:40] Prison authorities, regional officials of the Saman administration,
[00:00:43] say that appropriate living facilities
[00:00:47] have been provided for prisoners
[00:00:50] in the prisons
[00:00:59] of Kapisa and Panjshir provinces, with the aim of positive change in the lives of prisoners and their rehabilitation.
[00:03:31] The prison
[00:03:34] administration, which organizes
[00:03:38] prisons
[00:03:39] across the country,
[00:03:43] provides modern vocational
[00:03:46] training to prisoners
[00:03:48] to prepare
[00:03:51] them for release
[00:03:53] after their sentence.
[00:03:55] In Nangarhar,
[00:03:59] the city of Jalalabad's fresh fruit
[00:04:02] wants to use
[00:04:06] its black
[00:04:10] gold, or patriotism.
[00:04:41] The direct economic
[00:04:44] situation of Afghan
[00:04:46] Bakh may allow
[00:04:50] them to use it.
[00:04:59] Masha'Allah,
[00:05:38] the country's fresh fruit is tastier than foreign ones.
[00:06:28] Afghanistan is close to self-sufficiency
[00:06:32] in fresh fruit production.
[00:06:33] It
[00:06:58] is said that Saudi Arabia has not yet made an official statement about these attacks.
[00:07:01] It
[00:07:03] is
[00:07:10] expected
[00:07:26] that this meeting will discuss
[00:07:28] the war in Ukraine, economic,
[00:07:32] and other
[00:07:32] important
[00:12:56] a tripartite joint meeting of the Islamic Emirate, the United Nations, and
[00:12:59] Iran in Kabul. This issue was expressed
[00:13:03] during a meeting between Maulavi Abdul Kabir and the head of the UN High Commissioner for
[00:13:06] Refugees.
[00:13:07] He
[00:13:15] added that the UN High Commissioner for Refugees is working with Iran
[00:13:19] to address the problems of Afghan refugees.
[00:13:23] The aim
[00:15:27] of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
[00:15:30] is to address the problems of Afghan migrants and hold multilateral meetings
[00:15:33] with host countries. Arafat Jamal said
[00:15:37] that in October, an international meeting
[00:15:41] will be held in Switzerland to discuss the problems of
[00:15:44] Afghan migrants and their forced expulsion. Jahed Kimi provides
[00:15:48] details. With the increasing challenges for Afghan
[00:15:51] migrants in host countries, the United
[00:15:54] Nations has announced efforts to hold multilateral meetings and
[00:15:58] address their problems. A tripartite meeting
[00:16:01] between Iran, the United Nations,
[00:16:05] and the Islamic Emirate is expected to be held in Kabul in the near future.
[00:16:12] The UN High Commissioner for Refugees and Iran
[00:16:14] have agreed to hold a tripartite
[00:16:17] meeting
[00:16:26] In Kabul, the Iranian
[00:16:27] Islamic
[00:16:34] Emirate will discuss
[00:16:54] in October in Switzerland,
[00:16:58] on the sidelines of an international conference, the problems
[00:17:00] of Afghan
[00:17:03] refugees. Addressing
[00:17:07] these necessary meetings from political commitments
[00:17:11] to practical solutions for ensuring
[00:17:14] the rights of migrants, extending
[00:17:18] residency documents, preventing forced expulsion, and providing
[00:17:21] voluntary and safe return opportunities
[00:17:25] will lead to a solution. The Kabul and Switzerland
[00:17:29] meetings have high capacity and potential for gradually
[00:17:32] resolving the crisis. However, their effectiveness
[00:17:36] and ultimate success depend on two factors. First, the will
[00:17:39] of the host countries to replace forced and hasty
[00:17:43] expulsion with gradual voluntary return.
[00:17:47] Second, the commitment of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan
[00:17:50] and the international community to provide legal
[00:17:53] and economic support within
[00:17:56] Afghanistan to resolve this crisis. Cooperation
[00:18:00] between the government and international
[00:18:03] organizations should provide sustainable job opportunities
[00:18:06] and return pathways. This
[00:18:09] is a humanitarian issue that can
[00:18:12] build a better future through
[00:18:16] solidarity and collective action. Afghan migrants have faced
[00:18:20] waves of expulsion from neighboring countries and residency problems in recent years.
[00:18:24] In such circumstances, tripartite and quadripartite
[00:18:27] meetings between Afghanistan, host countries, and the United
[00:18:30] Nations are considered important mechanisms for coordination
[00:18:34] in addressing migrant issues. However, the extent of agreement
[00:18:40] on specific solutions for supporting
[00:18:43] migrants depends.
[00:18:46] Lessons from the Seerah of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) for the Ummah, a topic that mosque imams
[00:18:49] across the country discussed in detail in their Friday
[00:18:53] sermons. The imams stated in their sermons that
[00:18:57] the Seerah of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
[00:19:00] is a great school of upbringing,
[00:19:04] admonition, and lessons, and it contains countless
[00:19:08] lessons for the Islamic Ummah. His blessed Seerah
[00:19:12] is also a guide, a clear law, and a beacon
[00:19:16] for the Islamic Ummah. Friday prayers were held
[00:19:19] in mosques across the country in a safe atmosphere,
[00:19:23] and mosque imams delivered detailed speeches
[00:19:26] on the assigned topic for the worshipers. In this sermon, the Seerah
[00:19:30] of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was discussed. The speakers
[00:19:33] stated that in the Seerah of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him)
[00:21:11] of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon building in America. This attack in 2001
[00:21:14] became an excuse for America and other NATO member countries
[00:21:18] to be drawn into Afghanistan.
[00:21:45] The United States of America and its allies
[00:21:49] launched an invasion and military operation
[00:21:52] in Afghanistan, an operation that ended the first
[00:21:55] period of the Islamic Emirate's rule and resulted
[00:21:59] in the widespread military presence of NATO member
[00:22:02] countries in Afghanistan. This incident was exploited
[00:22:06] against Islam,
[00:22:07] against Islamic
[00:22:10] countries,
[00:22:13] and they attacked Afghanistan, bringing up excuses
[00:22:16] for restrictions against Muslims in Europe and America,
[00:22:20] even changing their immigration and social policies.
[00:22:23] Western countries, because of this incident,
[00:22:26] besides the human and military costs,
[00:22:30] Afghanistan also witnessed billions of dollars in foreign
[00:22:34] aid pouring in during these two decades. However,
[00:22:37] due to mismanagement and the personal
[00:22:40] objectives of foreign donors, these resources
[00:22:44] could not sustainably strengthen the foundations
[00:22:47] of a self-sufficient and production-oriented economy in Afghanistan.
[00:22:51] After September 11th, under the pretext of fighting
[00:22:54] terrorism, America occupied Afghanistan. Despite
[00:22:58] billions of dollars pouring into Afghanistan,
[00:23:02] unfortunately, no money was invested in infrastructure
[00:23:05] and economic foundations. On the contrary, all
[00:23:09] infrastructure and foundations were destroyed by bombers,
[00:23:12] and these wars caused the most harm to the ordinary
[00:23:16] people of Afghanistan, who received no help despite these aids.
[00:24:16] is considered one of the turning
[00:24:19] points in contemporary Afghan history,
[00:24:23] which led to war and foreign military presence.
[00:24:26] However, the question of the extent
[00:24:30] of the lasting achievements of this
[00:24:33] presence for Afghanistan remains. Militarily,
[00:24:37] it caused heavy human casualties among civilians,
[00:24:41] military personnel, and mujahideen.
[00:24:45] Millions became internally displaced and foreign
[00:24:48] refugees. The continuous
[00:24:55] war for 20 years destroyed the infrastructure and inflicted
[00:24:58] psychological problems on the young generation.
[00:25:02] The September 11 attacks involved four commercial
[00:25:05] airliners, two of which
[00:25:07] crashed into the World
[00:25:10] Trade Center towers in New York, and one into the Pentagon building.
[00:25:14] Their consequences led to the start of the war
[00:25:17] in Afghanistan. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey
[00:25:20] Lavrov says that the United States of America
[00:25:24] expanded its geopolitical influence in Afghanistan
[00:25:28] and other regions after the September 11, 2001,
[00:25:32] attacks by using the space of international cooperation
[00:25:35] and solidarity. On Wednesday, Lavrov accused
[00:25:39] America in an interview with the Russian media
[00:25:42] RBC of using international cooperation and UN Security
[00:25:46] Council resolutions after the September 11 attacks
[00:26:02] to advance its broad strategic goals. Russia's recent
[00:26:05] criticism of America's 20-year military presence
[00:26:09] in Afghanistan after the September 11 attacks
[00:26:13] coincides with the 25th anniversary of Washington's
[00:26:16] political and military presence in important
[00:26:19] regions. America used international solidarity
[00:26:23] and resolutions that allowed military operations
[00:26:27] more for implementing its geopolitical plans and
[00:26:30] expanding its influence than for fighting terrorism.
[00:26:34] The Russian Foreign Minister claimed that a similar
[00:26:38] approach was observed in Iraq and Libya.
[00:26:42] According to him, the US made efforts to change
[00:26:46] governments and expand its strategic influence
[00:26:49] in these countries in the name of ensuring
[00:26:53] international security and fighting terrorism. Lavrov
[00:26:57] made these statements while Russia has increased
[00:27:01] its criticism of US foreign
[00:27:04] policy and NATO's role in international conflicts
[00:27:08] in recent years. The military presence of international
[00:27:12] forces led by the US in Afghanistan lasted for
[00:27:16] almost two decades and ended in August
[00:27:19] 2021 with the withdrawal of US and NATO forces
[00:27:23] from Afghanistan. After that, the Islamic Emirate
[00:27:26] once again took control of Afghanistan, and the
[00:27:29] US and NATO-backed government collapsed.
[00:27:35] The Ministry of Defense says that from the 299th Al-Fatah Corps, this ministry led by Qari Abdul Wasil Nazari,
[00:27:38] commander of the 11th Border Brigade of Jawzjan,
[00:27:40] and accompanied by a number of
[00:27:46] technical officials of this corps, met with the commander
[00:27:50] of the Imam Karki border brigade of Turkmenistan. This meeting,
[00:27:53] which was held at the request of the Turkmen side,
[00:27:57] discussed border area security, better
[00:28:01] coordination between the border forces of the two
[00:28:04] sides, and other necessary issues.
[00:28:08] Also, both sides described the relations
[00:28:11] between Afghanistan and Turkmenistan as good and
[00:28:15] friendly and emphasized the continuation of joint
[00:28:19] efforts to ensure security. Maulavi Sardar Ahmad Shakib,
[00:28:22] the ambassador of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan to
[00:28:25] Pakistan, welcomed the decision of the Lahore High Court
[00:28:29] against the expulsion of Afghan medical
[00:28:33] students in Pakistan. The Afghan ambassador
[00:28:36] also welcomed the statements of the Pakistani Ministry
[00:28:40] of Foreign Affairs on his social media page,
[00:28:44] according to which Afghan
[00:28:49] students with valid visas can continue their studies
[00:28:53] in Pakistan. He said that he hopes Pakistani
[00:28:56] officials will continue this clear, coherent,
[00:29:00] and practical approach so that Afghan students
[00:29:03] who are legally registered maintain their legal
[00:29:07] status and complete their studies without
[00:29:11] unnecessary delays. The Lahore High
[00:29:13] Court on Friday suspended the decision
[00:29:17] of the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council,
[00:29:20] which had called for the return of Afghan
[00:29:24] students studying in Pakistan to Afghanistan. According
[00:29:27] to the court's order, Afghan students can
[00:29:31] continue their studies, participate in exams,
[00:29:35] and return to their
