  • Moscow to sell Kabul fuel at lower rates: Ahadi


    KABUL (PAN): Russia would export half a million tonnes of oil a year to Afghanistan at concessionary rates, a cabinet minister announced on Sunday.
    An agreement to the effect was reached during last week's visit of delegation of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry to Moscow for talks on oil sales.
    Commerce and Industry Minister Anwarul Haq Ahadi told reporters in Kabul the delegation had signed agreements with three semi-government Russian companies, including TNK-BP.
    He said the three firms would provide Afghanistan 500,000 tonnes of fuel annually. The oil would be five to 10 dollars cheaper than international market rates, Ahadi added.
    He said the Afghan team had also reached an agreement with Russia on providing necessary information about oil supplies to Afghanistan.
    Both public and private sectors would import fuel from Russia. Private-sector imports will be based on a letter from the Ministry of Commerce to ensure the product's availability and its satisfactory rates.
    The Russian firms would keep the Afghan government informed about the rates of oil purchased by the private sector, he said. "The information will help prevent sellers from price manipulation."
    Ahadi said that 10,000 tonnes of diesel, purchased from Russian, would reach soon the country, which needs three million tonnes of oil per annum to meet military and civil needs.

    A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

    For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


    The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!
