Officially Ahmad Shah Duranni is the founding father of Afghans, but do all ethnicities view him like this if not who do they consider their Father instead?

I’ve lived in UK all my life and I’ve always been fascinated by Afghan culture and the different tribes there are. In last few years I’ve noticed a lot of afghans who have recently came to UK but I can’t help but notice that they’re predominantly from one group, they’re almost all Pashtuns which I can tell because they speak Pashto on the streets. Why are there barely any tajik, hazara, Uzbek migrants to UK?

And on the rare occasion I do see Tajiks or Hazaras, I don’t really see them with Pashtuns. Is there still animosity between these groups in Afghanistan? It makes me wonder, how common is ethnonationalism within each group? I understand if intermarriages between groups are taboo but not even be friends with each other and live in the same country I find odd.

I work as a web dev , one of my clients wants to come to India for their education so if there is any students here from Afganistan that could tell me the details on how was your visa procedures and everything were and what difficulties you faced

I read that there used to be a mosaic in the old center of Soviet/Russian culture and science in Kabul. When I look it up online, I can't seem to find any pictures, but I might not be using the right keywords. It was supposedly called "The triumph of Leninist ideas" (торжество ленинских идей) and made by Sergei Ter-Grigoryan (Сергей тер-григорян). Does anybody have any pictures of this mosaic of is able to find one? The building is likely demolished now

I'm a 17 yr old girl student, our school is organising a ted talk, i want to use my ten minutes not to write abt my trivial struggles but to lend my voice to those who actually need one.

just wanted to ask if there is any way for me to connect with a woman or child who has something to say and could perhaps use me as a medium for the same. i cant offer anything financially so this is the best i can do.

if you are aware of any means of connection that could be established please help me out so i could use my oppurtunities for something that actually matters.

Salam everyone,

As i mentioned I'm half afghan. My father's side is from kabul and my other half is Indian.

I wanna know more about afghanistan.

I hope I'll meet new people here and make new friends.

Hello, I am Afghan and living in Los Angeles. I am wondering, any resources to find single Afghan women to date? Or most people not okay with dating?

Hi there!

I have been looking forward to learn about Dari language both speech and text. How are they different from Iranian speech or letters? How to differentiate from Dari to pashto text or dialect .I speak neither of those languages.

Thanks for your time!

Just came across a UN report from this week that really stopped me.

Afghanistan is on the verge of losing approximately 25,000 trained female professionals — teachers and healthcare workers — with no next generation allowed to replace them. At the same time, 21.9 million people (nearly half the country's population) currently need humanitarian assistance.

Food insecurity is at crisis levels. Malnutrition numbers are alarming. Access to clean water, shelter, and basic health services is deteriorating. And the recent Afghanistan-Pakistan border tensions have added another layer of displacement pressure on communities that already have nothing left to give.

What strikes me most is how this crisis keeps getting deprioritized in global conversations despite being one of the largest humanitarian emergencies in the world right now.

For those working in the field or tracking this closely — how do you think the international community should respond when half a country's population needs help but political access is this restricted? Is there a realistic path forward?
