@therestiskate: Drink a coffee and learn about Afghanistan 🇦🇫 This is a new series where I will cover every country of the world in alphabetical order. I’ll look at their history, geography and most importantly what makes the people. We’re starting at ‘A’ for Afghanistan. If you are Afghani please comment and add / correct. I am not claiming to know everything about the country - it’s a challenge for me too to learn more about the world around me and fit it in to 2 minutes!! #afghanistan #learntok #foreignpolicy #HistoryTime #historytok
Just a note on the caption, Afghani is the currency, Afghan are the people

Yeah see the problem with this is your history is written by western sources and is biased against Afghanistan. Most of the instability were caused by western intervention

If you’d like to know more about Afghanistan— consider reading “Outspoken” by Dr. Sima Samar. She’s a female Afghan physician who has done a TON for women and girls in Afghanistan over the past several decades.

As an Afghan, I hold so much appreciation for when people genuinely take time to learn and reflect a complex country, you did with grace, thank you! 🥺

Thanks for sharing this! Just to add, Rumi was Persian by language and culture. He was born in Balkh, which is today in Afghanistan, but in his time that region was part of the broader Persian world. Afghans, as a distinct national identity, emerged later, yet they remain an important part of that shared heritage. So it’s most accurate to see Rumi as a Persian poet whose birthplace is in today’s Afghanistan.

So little is known about this region and its wonderful people, Pashto is so poetic on its roots as a language and Pashtunwali hospitality makes for a beautiful culture. I look forward to the country being safe enough to be discovered and the people being able to benefit from tourism.
