Afghanistan: Only days apart

Just days away are we from Kabul when the Taliban regime will be celebrating the first anniversary after takeover from the old regime led by ex-president Ashraf Ghani. A recap of the incidents that led before and after the takeover on 15th August 2022 by the Taliban will be fitting to discuss in this article because of the 1st anniversary of the Taliban regime in kabul after 25 years.

Before:
Afghanistan is the only muslim country in the world which has been going through a series of disaster one followed by another like a domino effect. Begining with the soviet withdrawal the taliban came to power. When the taliban were in power the regime was not Afghanistan wasn't given the status of a nation, instead countries rejected them as a terrorist state. This included human rights abuses, hijacking, religious intolerance, fundamentalism, freedom of speech bans, underdevelopment, economic crisis, drugs and the list can go on. Since this began spread with a solid base the west and others saw it as a threat for other nations including the west which came openly against the regime. The western alliance took over sending the talibans into hiding and handing over of the regime to a culture sensitive afghan people. All this time the west was giving it's support for the democratic regimes for the next 20 years. The united states was a biggest ally of the new democratic regime extending support. In January of 2021 the US thought it was a perfect time to leave Afghanistan fully in the control of the Afghanistan alone. The taliban has been closely following the developments from their hideouts and preparing themselves for this opportunity to takeover power this time.

After:
The taliban seized power from the ruling democratically elected government and the president of afghanistan fleeing to save his own life left Afghanistan. The taliban celebrated their victory. The west was withdrawing at the same time. Millions of people had to flee afghanistan for safety of their own lives starting a new refugee crisis. The taliban promised to not to act in the same old ways as in the 90s. They assured to act more civilized this time. Since nothing was happening as they said the same old human right abuses, denial of education to women and girls, abuses in the name of islam (there's universal condemnation from their own muslim men and women for their interpretation of islam), drugs are back on streets, hunger, poverty, health crisis and what not? In this present state of affairs the ruling taliban will be celebrating their first anniversary of a regime the world hasn't accepted yet. Millions of afghan civilians are the worst sufferers of this crisis having to go through everyday suffering for all the above reasons. There are national plans for celebration on this anniversary. It's worse even than a hand to mouth situation when so many others are having so many good things in life even among their own muslim ruled countries in the world.

For this situation to be reversed diplomatic relations must first begin within their own muslim ruled countries and then with other non-muslim ruled nations. If the taliban insist of being other muslim and non-muslim recognised countries must start to accepting the taliban regime. This will pave the ways for opening diplomacy to a regime which is in isolation. The taliban must open doors for dialogue and diplomacy putting a full stop for all fairy tale lies. This can happen within the next thirty days starting with opening of a neat, well staffed and equipped home office to begin dialogue with others. This will pave the way for in the future for other more open dialogues with others.

Banking & Finance: Mint

In the world of banking, a mint is not a place where coins are made, but rather a term used to describe a financial institution that has been granted permission by a central bank to issue banknotes. This role is also known as a note-issuing bank or a currency board. The concept of a mint in banking is rooted in the history of currency. In the past, coins were minted by governments or private entities, and they served as a means of payment and a store of value. However, as economies grew and trade expanded, the demand for larger denominations of currency increased. This led to the development of banknotes, which were issued by private banks as a way to facilitate transactions and provide a convenient alternative to coins. As the use of banknotes grew, governments became concerned about the potential for inflation and the impact of private banknote issuance on the overall stability of the economy. In response, central banks were established to regulate the issuance of banknotes and ensur

Kamala Harris: Missing the Moment to Define Her Leadership

Transcript: The recent debate featuring Kamala Harris and Donald Trump was an important moment for the Democratic nominee to solidify her position as a leader. Yet, instead of seizing the opportunity to project confidence and vision, Kamala seemed to falter, weighed down by personal fears and memories of long-standing struggles. A key point that stood out was how Kamala Harris seemed to forget the very words she once made her mantra in her career as a prosecutor: "Kamala Harris for the people." These five words, often repeated by her during her time in courtrooms, represented her fight for justice and equality. However, during the debate, this sense of purpose seemed absent. The stage was set for her to remind everyone why she was the candidate for all people, but she failed to deliver a message that would resonate on that larger stage. Rather than focusing on a forward-thinking vision, Harris spent much of her time reflecting on the negatives, particularly issues of racism,

Finance & Banking: Brief history of the modern bank

The history of the modern bank can be traced back to ancient times when people used various methods of storing and exchanging wealth. One of the earliest forms of banking originated in Mesopotamia around 2000 BC, where temples served as the first lenders. These temples provided loans to farmers in the form of grain or silver, with interest rates varying depending on the time of repayment. In ancient Egypt, the precursor to modern banking emerged with the establishment of grain banks that stored surplus crops and provided loans to farmers during periods of scarcity. These banks also served as intermediaries for international trade, exchanging goods for gold and silver. The concept of banking continued to evolve in ancient Greece and Rome, with moneylenders and wealthy individuals offering loans to merchants and traders. The Romans, in particular, developed a sophisticated banking system that included the issuing of promissory notes, letters of credit, and the establishment of the first
