    The Turkish provincial reconstruction team has launched a humanitarian assistance campaign for the flood-affected families in central Maidan Wardak province, the team said on Monday.
    In a statement, the PRT said 1,300 food packages, each containing 15 kilograms of rice, flour and oil worth $20,000 were provided to the flood-stricken families in the provincial capital, Maidan Shahr, and various districts.
    The aid was distributed to families in two separate ceremonies also attended by the provincial governor, Halim Fidaee. The first ceremony held at the Directorate of National Education.
    During the ceremonies, a total of 400 food packages, out of the 1,300, were distributed to students and women.
    Besides, PRT's Civilian-Military Cooperation team distributed 220 handbags containing pencil box, notebooks, as well as winter clothes to students during the ceremony at the Directorate of National Education.

    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!
