Snow

I wake up and see around the room that is dark I wear my coat and walk toward door and when I open the door, see snow that is falling and all the places are white.

There is Bamyan the cold province of Afghanistan and in winter snow is very much and very cold but today is not winter it is the second day of second fall month.

In this season all potato harvests are on the farm with few coldness they become frozen, and people are not ready for coldness.

If the weather be cold there is no place for animal and all of them should in home and use from dried plants that is very expensive for people.

All roads are not save because people are in danger when they trip.

People have to use in their home from stove for heating of the living rooms and it is also expensive for people.

Now I am very cold I come from out and I heat myself in my rooms.

And I do not know about potato harvest that are frozen or no.

People get a lot disadvantages from this snow. 

General Dostum went to Noth

General Abdul Rashid Dostum the first vice of Afghanistan President went to North Provinces of Afghanistan for fighting against terrorists.

It is the second round that General went to north provinces at first round he defeated terrorists from some North Provinces, when general leave the north, terrorists come back. Now they occupied some districts of Fariab province and general promised to take out terrorists from all districts and ensure peace in north provinces.

The only question is why ministry of defense and other general from security organizations do not go to for fighting against terrorists?

Vice of presidency is not security post. 

potato

90 % of Bamyan farmers cultivate potato with high quality and with two colors red and white and different kinds of potato that market of Afghanistan is not enough for them.

There is no foreign market for them to export in other countries like Iran, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, India, and Turkmenistan ….   

This year potato cost is 60Afs (1USD)/sir (7 kg) last year was 160Afs/sir (7 kg) that shows a big decrease of potato cost in Bamyan.

There is no way for farmers to fulfil their expenditure without potato and it shows a big disadvantage of farmers.

Government has not any attention for export of potato in other country and there is no cultivation to replace potato.

If government does not attention in agriculture crops it cannot improve economic of Afghanistan and Afghanistan rests import country.

There is no companies and other tasks for people to work, the only way that can create jobs for people that is agriculture and government does not attention to it.
