The Untold Story of Afghan Progress by Saad Mohseni, WSJ


There are over eight million schoolchildren, 2.6 million of them girls. In 2001: 900,000 boys and practically no girls.

Written by: Saad Mohseni | Source: The Wall Street Journal | March 17, 2013, 6:03 p.m. ET

OB-WS552 Mohsen_D_20130317165526
Agence France-Presse/Getty Images-Afghan schoolgirls in Herat, in western Afghanistan, Oct. 13, 2012
The conventional wisdom about Afghanistan runs something like this: The country is a lost cause. Almost nothing has changed. The people remain backward and thankless, and there is little benefit for the international community to stay engaged in the country's future.

Hope, Progress in the New Afghanistan

MATCHMAKING

Hope, Progress in the New Afghanistan (Part 1)
By: Anne Stevenson
Policy analyst, adviser and writer
Huffington post
Posted: 12/12/2012 9:59 am
 
Since 9/11, there are very few stories in the news about Afghanistan that illustrate the progress and the asset to the world community that this small land locked country has become. This week Mustafa Yasa, director of foreign relations for the Municipality of Kabul, has joined me in writing this column to share with readers the positive changes and progress he has personally witnessed in Afghanistan. We also share with you the hopes and concerns expressed by participants at the 8th Annual U.S.-Afghanistan Business Matchmaking Conference (BMC) 2012 we attended last week in Washington, D.C, sponsored by the Afghan-American Chamber of Commerce (AACC).

Nowroz 2013 option 2

International Day of Nowruz, March 21

Nowruz marks the first day of spring and the beginning of the year in Solar Hijri calendar (SH). It is celebrated on the day of the astronomical Northward equinox, which usually occurs on March 21 or the previous/following day depending on where it is observed. The moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator and equalizes night and day is calculated exactly every year.

Afghanistan in Transition – An Expanded Role for the Private Sector

The 8th Annual U.S.-Afghanistan Business Matchmaking Conference (BMC) 2012 will build on the successes of the previous conferences, which have provided many opportunities for Afghan firms to learn about U.S. companies interested in doing business in Afghanistan and for American firms to learn about the realities of business in Afghanistan. The Conference also provides a conducive forum to meet potential business partners and develop joint business relationships.
