9th July, 2020 · admin 7 Comments

Reuters: Once an important Silk Road trading hub, the Afghan city of Herat has long been a cultural centre, but decades of war have ravaged its ancient traditional crafts. Now thousands of women are returning to the ancient practices, seeking to revive the traditions of a city where traders once came to haggle for silk in thick-walled houses and dome-shaped bazaars offering respite from hot summers.

    *You
    goofy
    people
    are really
    something- on your
    ugly paths; you
    have had
    been
    destroying every
    logical step; all,
    for
    the sakes
    of
    your
    greedy needs.

    Now; you,
    low class foreign
    aliens and agents, are
    striving
    to
    fool everyone;
    by
    exonerating
    yourself
    in
    a
    heart beat.

    You
    people
    are distorting facts :

    =
    The most ever profitable
    Continental
    business route was
    not
    running through
    the
    Silk Road t
    to
    Chins- it was actually the
    “Spice Route” that was passing through the rugged northern Indian borders along the Himalayan foothills,
    towards Bengal Bay, Far Earl I
    and Indonesia.
    ===============•=====••
    THE COLONIALLY-IMPOSED
    19 CENTURY
    HINDU-MUSLIM WARFARES BROUGHT IT ALL INTO A STANDSTILL.

    In an order
    to
    choke off
    regional economies and make them
    all
    totally
    dependent, the imposing colonial powers
    of
    19 century, cut off
    all of
    those extremely
    lucrative business routes.

    Back then; Afghanistan
    was
    a
    regional crossing point
    and
    business hub- they lost it all and still losing big time.

    mountain passes
    without paying huge sums !
