The fire of the Spirit crossing the frontiers:

Afghanistan is an Islam Country. Talibans ruled this country till 2001, this country experienced many wars, conflicts and blood shed. More than 1 million Afghans were killed, six millions moved to neighbouring countries as refugees, and another two millions, internally displaced. The once prosperous and fertile Afghanistan now remains shattered and battered. Afghanistan is an area of 6,52,000 square kilometers with a population of 27.2 millions among whom are 5 millions living as refugees in Pakistan and Iran. Only 12% of the land is under cultivation while 75% of the land is considered as wasteland.
