    Capital outflow : Afghans plan to move 80 factories to Kandahar

    ISLAMABAD: Afghan businessmen are planning to relocate some 80 factories that they currently operate in Karachi to Kandahar.
    The move comes on the heels of several Pakistani industrialists and businessmen deciding to move their operating units from violence-hit Karachi to Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
    Apart from the unrest in Karachi, Afghan businessmen say they are also troubled by repeated power outages which have hamstrung both their efficiency and ouput.
    “We have spent millions of dollars to set up factories in Karachi but are now planning to shift to Kandahar,” Vice-President of Kandahar Chambers of Industry Fiazulhaq Mashkani told The Express Tribune from Kandahar.
    He said many workers of Afghan and Pakistani origin are working in factories owned by Afghan businesses, adding that in one of the factories owned by an Afghan businessman, some 3,200 Afghans and 1,200 Pakistanis are employed.

    Good news for Kandahar. There is a Kandahar businessman, who is a billionaire, in terms of US dollars, yet most of his factories are in Pakistan -- He too, recently started shifting his capital back to Kandahar. I'm convinced that Kandaharis, by nature, are businessmen and should start investing in their motherland. In New York alone, they own hundreds of restaurants, yet back home investments are barely made. Most of the car business(exporting to Afghanistan and Dubai)is dominated by them, although Herat definitely benefits from that; since they use Herat as their main port.

    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!
