Homeless people in the United States!

This is an issue which has shocked me since I have been here. I see homeless people in each city that I have visited. They don’t have homes to live in. They always walk outside. I am thinking how they can fulfill the daily needs as we do. Things like taking shower, eating, drinking and etc. to see such homeless people wandering in the streets is really strange for the people who come from third world countries with a very different perspective about the US and its citizens. People believe that America is the land of dreams and all the people living here are in a utopia. They are rich and have loads of money to live luxuriously, but the reality is so different. I have been visiting San Francisco City and have found lots of homeless people begging for money in the streets and on the roads. This made me wonder what drove these people to this miserable condition. Isn’t America supposed to be great welfare States that promises to take care of its citizens and provides them the basic facilities of life? But the reality baffled me. Afghanistan would be a good example here. Afghanistan is one of the third would countries. Its economy is down. We cannot compare it with the United States. There are some jobless people, but not homeless at least they have a Tent to live inside. In any case, I am wondering if the Congress discusses this issue and pushes the government to take action towards providing a solution for the homeless people. It won’t be impossible for the US government as the leading country for the world to help its own homeless people instead of spending billions of dollar in war.

Why Ashraf Ghani’s peace offer to the Taliban means war?

On February 28, 2018, Ashraf Ghani presented, what many label,  a “comprehensive” peace offer to the Taliban at the  Kabul Process II . Since then, a web of “political analysts” have written  opinion pieces  in support of Ghani’s bold move thanks to his vast influential network of friends and supporters in global mass media. Quite frankly, almost every piece written is inclined to praise President Ghani for his peace offer to the Taliban, a group of ruthless terrorists engaged in terrorizing and killing innocent people since 1996. The Taliban are globally known for their facilitating role in the tragic attacks of 9/11 that horrified the world. This is, indeed, unfortunate that mainstream international media and “political analysts” have implicitly echoed a narrative most suitable to Ghani and the Taliban sympathizers while, whether intentionally or not, ignoring the other sides of the story. As expected, President Ghani has been working tirelessly to promote his Taliban friendl

My Brothers

I have lost two of my brothers during different wars in Afghanistan. Meer Ata Khan was my oldest brother who was a senior high school student when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. He did not attend his graduation ceremony. Instead, joined Ahmad Shah Massoud, the leader of the freedom fighters of Afghanistan fighting the Soviet occupiers. He had served for a few years with a group of freedom warriors called Group-e-Mutahrek. Its English translation would be the commandoes. He got killed in a battle at the top of one of the tallest mountains in the Valley of Panjshir in an early morning. Meer Ata Khan Abdullah Ayoobi was my other brother years older than me. He had an MA in Arabic Literature and Religious Studies. Upon his return back to Afghanistan in the early 1990s,  he started a volunteer job with one of the social organizations, "The Union of Afghanistan Journalists" as the Director of Foreign Relations. When the Taliban took over Kabul in the mid-90s, he ha
