China urges world to act on promises to Afghanistan

[The Green1]

The bold parts you mentioned are still the same, the gov buildings are at least 50 years old, embassies are former Afghan elites houses which are also as old as gov buildings. As per the system the economy is in the hand of people not government if you haven't seen those hundreds of glassy high buildings in every Afghan city (including Kabul) then you haven't visited Afghanistan - Murad Khani is located in old Kabul which is centuries old and will remain like that as a cultural heritage.

In your grand pa's time there were only 200,000 to 300,000 residents in Kabul only but now it's over 5 mln; the infrastructure was for that much people but now 100 times bigger, there were not more than 1000 cars in Kabul but now it's over 800,000; we have now more than 500 active factories producing goods in Kabul only, Kabul including 9 other provinces have 24/7 power, most of roads and streets are asphalted including Kabul 80 meter ring road, you can only see a couple of war remains in Kabul everything is built up again, I am sure you came to Kabul via Torkham high way - did you noticed the quality of infrastructure in other side of Torkham (Pakistan) and this side (Afghanistan)? and a lot more about Kabul only - I hope your visit was real! Next time you try to come let me know.

Visit was real, Murad Khan bazar was a slum back in those days and it is still the same. If that is how one keeps cultural heritage in afg then i think i would better not call it a cultural heritage.
So what you are saying is Kabul is good and flashy ? what about the whole of the afghanistan ? what about the people and poverty? The majority of afghans and there life style is still the same. I am not disrespecting afghans in anyway but i am saying the promises which were made are yet to be fulfilled.

Tell me you are out of arguments, since 1947 how much Pakistanis changed? and the numbers changed did it benefited Pakistan in anyway? you can't say anyone who don't wear jeans are not developed and progressed our life style is more dear to us than western culture and we will never adopt it unlike Indians and Pakistanis who loves to adopt it! our poor is still in good condition than majority of poor in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh - next time you come try to give them a sudden visit in their homes!

I am sure you only visited the place called 'Murad Khani' - the centuries old markets, mosques and guest houses there have been rehabilitated by ministry of information and culture if needed I can show you some pics as well.

As I said we built up all those things I mentioned before after rising again from ashes after 30 years of street wars and we are heading very rapidly towards progressive Afghanistan.

Sorry to burst your bubble just 30 years ago Kabul was more developed and civilized than Delhi and Islamabad.

I have looked into that. The infrastructure in Kabul was for the liberal elites just like it was in Tehran. Except unlike Iran, what made Afghanistan different was its huge disparity. I heard from many Afghans that after crossing kabul to another city, once saw extreme poverty.

Come on you are comparing afg with Pakistan india and bagladesh now? The sub-continent is far more advanced and modern compared to afg. By far our masses still live in a better condition than yours as of today. This temporary bubble of so called progress will burst when NATO pulls out of afg and war lords start to fight again for territory. The ANA will get divided when the funding stops [ the tell tale signs are there because of ethnic and linguistic division]. 1 thing afg has become advanced , is the poppy cultivation. There is alot to be done and the afghans will bring the change from with in no outside force will do it for them. Deal with this fact or keep living in False glory.

Exactly thats what i am talking about, he thinks kabul is the whole afghanistan and even kabul isnt fully developed yet.
