Saudi gives Afghanistan $24m for education

09-09-2010, 10:00 PM

KABUL : The government of Saudi Arabia on Thursday provided the Afghan Ministry of Education with $24 million to help improve educational infrastructure.
The assistance would be spent on the construction of school buildings, teacher training centres and religious seminaries, a statement issued by the Ministry of Education quoted Dr. Shafiq Samim, deputy head of religious studies at the ministry, as saying.
Saudi Arabia also pledged to construct a mosque in the style of Shah Faisal Mosque in Pakistan's capital of Islamabad.
Saudi Arabia has already funded the building of an Islamic centre on Maranjan hill in Kabul at a cost of $100 million, the statement said.

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!
