A glimpse into the newly built Afghan parliament building

[Sher Malang]

One of the key features of the new parliament building is its dome which is said to be one of the largest among the parliaments in Asia.

The new parliament building also has elements of Mughal and modern architecture with marbles used from Chesht-e-Sharif district of western Herat province.

According to the Ministry of Urban Develpment Affairs of Afghanistan (MUDA), the compound comprises of four sections, including A,B,C and D. Section-A is the main parliament hall where the lawmakers in the Lower House of the Parliament – Wolesi Jirga will hold parliamentary sessions.

Section-B is comprised of a four story building which will include two halls for general sessions, separate dining halls for the Lower and Upper House of the Parliament. A library will also be included Section-B of the new parliament building which will include a computer room.

The Section-C of the new parliament building is known as the entrance hall which will have a dome constructed of stainless steel and glass which will have five halls for parliamentary commissions in the second floor.

A big administration building, a mosque that could house 400 prayers, a modern library, VIP guesthouse and 350 apartments for the lawmakers have also been considered in the new parliament building.

Bonus: Kabul's first public marriage proposal at Hamid Karzai International Airport, Kabul.

I find it sad that this building was not built by Turkey, Malaysia, etc. -- I wonder what Afghans dream of?

.

There are still alot of other opportunities for any other country including Pakistan.

Pakistan has contributed to a couple of fundamantal projects in Afghanistan but majority of them is going the turtle speed.

India this year alone had 3 big trust winning achievements in Afghanistan by gifting, 1: Salma Dam 2: Parliament building 3: Gunships.

Beraderjan, screw Pakistan -- Pakistanis are your Despised Bete Noire -- but perhaps Afghans have forgotten that man does not live by bread alone. My Turkish is now broken but I think it can be summed as: alis veris dan daha onemli isler var.

India this year alone had 3 big trust winning achievements in Afghanistan by gifting, 1: Salma Dam 2: Parliament building 3: Gunships.

‘Thank you India,’ say delighted Afghans as Salma dam nears completion.

Local Afghans musicians sang Indian songs and expressed thanks on Twitter.

India’s major reconstruction project in Afghanistan, the Salma Dam, is nearing completion, and water has started filling up its reservoirs — delighting Afghans residents in the western Herat province where it is located.

On Tuesday, grateful residents of the area went to the Indian consulate there to express gratitude to the Indian officials for the key role played by the country in the reconstruction of Afghanistan.

India is spending $300 million on the dam project, expected to produce 42 MW of electricity and water nearly 80,000 hectares of farmland.

The reservoir, which is 20 km in length and 3 km in width, started filling up last month and is expected to be completed in around 9-12 months.

And why is india doing this?If you think they like you thats not the case as hindus hate muslims as you can see from recent beef bans and linching people for eating beef.Look what they are doing to nepal they are bullying them thats what real india is.They supported LLTE against sri lanka too.India is here only for reason i-e Pakistan.
You have only one friends in this entire world that is Pakistan as it is in pakistan interest in a stable Afghanistan

I do love to see a friendly and brotherly relations with Pakistan and what Indians do within their country is non of our business to poke our nose in their internal issues + Indian muslims sums up around 190 millions and we 30 million Afghans can't do much to them; we should follow where our interests goes.

Pakistan and Afghanistan must sort out their shit within this decade otherwise the consequences will be uncontrollable for Pakistan in future because it cannot bear a total hostile Afghan population (which grows in double digits) in it's west; peace within two countries would be fruitfull to every Afghan and Pakistani; there are certain things that can Afghanistan offer to Pakistan and vice versa; that way both countries will prosper.

Amazing ... I guess 40 years of war can reduce one to this.

Correction: nearly a 100% of Afghans have always been hostile to Pakistan and yes Pakistan can bear it rather easily if it can isolate Afghans to its West -- not a herculean feat.

Whether Pakistanis actually do that is another thing.

The good news seems to be that:
1. Now there is greater Pakistani awareness of the hatred Afghans bear Pakistanis
2. the GHQ seems to have an institutional memory and policy vis-a-vis Afghanistan

Long before wars we stayed neutral for decades.

14 years of war might have reduced you guys to this.. as long as I remember 65% Pashtuns were pro-Pakistan how come that changed?

When will Afghans accept the fact that Afghani taliban are Afghan citizens? Or only farsis, tajiks, uzbeks etc are real afghans now days and not afghani pashtuns?

Their foot soliders are completely blended with foriegn fighters
