Kandahar

From Pashto کندهار (Kandahār, “Alexander, Alexandria”), evolved from "Iskandar" pronounced as "Scandar", in the local dialect version of the name Alexander. Ultimately from Ancient Greek Ἀλεξάνδρεια (Alexándreia, “Alexandria Arachosia”), the city's ancient name.

Naya, not her real name, is just 11 but is no longer attending school in her home province of Kandahar. Her father says the government has "abandoned" her because she looks older than she is. "She is larger than average, and that was the reason the government told us she couldn't go to school. She must wear the veil (hijab) and stay at home." He doesn't hold out much hope for the rules changing under the current regime, but was keen to stress one point: the idea the people of Afghanistan backed the Taliban's ban was an "absolute lie". "It is absolutely an accusation on Afghans and Pashtuns that they don't want daughter's education, but the issue is vice-versa," he said. "Specially in Kandahar and other Pashtun provinces (where Pashtun people live), a lot people are ready to send their daughters to schools and universities to get education."

Some brothers from foreign lands. It really bothers me the views that most people have about countries like Afghanistan. These dudes were real patriots fighting for their country with what they have. Most live in terrible conditions but still get up and go fight for their homeland everyday. They’re conditioned to it. It’s their way of life. The general population will never experience what goes on in other parts of the world. All they know is what CNN or the internet tells them. I was there and I can tell you these boys were wolves and ready to go at a moments notice for their country. They believed in what they were doing and still are doing. Afghanistan and its people will always hold a place in my heart.
