Holidays around the World during Coronavirus Outbreak

Many people are familiar with the holiday called Easter. Easter is a holiday that is mostly celebrated by Christians. They celebrate it because they believe that on Easter Jesus Rises from the dead.

I know that lots of children want to celebrate it like they have done it in the past. Yet, this year it is probably not possible to go Easter egg hunts at the parks or similar places due to the coronavirus. If you're sad that you can’t go Easter egg hunt, don't worry. I have some Easter ideas you can do at home.

Also, you might not be able to attend church on Easter day because they are closed too. If you're sad that you can’t go Easter egg hunt, don't worry. I have some Easter ideas you can do at home.

You can still have an Easter egg hunt at home. With help from your parents, you can use or create a single box or an Easter Basket to place eggs in. You can place real eggs or plastic eggs if you can find them around your house from last Easter.  You can also tell your parents to make a treasure hunt but with real eggs. You may also get creative and decorate them. Your parents can hide them around the house or in the backyard and give you clues to find them.
I know you can’t go to church. You can still pray at home and connect with those who you believe in. 
I am very sorry that some of you did not get to celebrate Easter in a way that you used to. But this is a different situation. You are staying at home because it is important to the safety and health of you and of others in the community. I hope that next Easter is better.

Same as Easter, Muslims also have their religious holidays and festivals. Ramadan and Eid are among a few religious events that Muslims will celebrate beginning in a few weeks. Ramadan this year starts on April 23 until May 23. 
In Ramadan, we fast from dawn to dust for about 30 days. Ramadan comes to an end by the end of the lunar calendar month, which is also the beginning of 3-day Eid. On Eid days, we celebrate the end of Ramadan at the Mosque, wearing new clothes. A day before Ramadan, girls and their moms get together for a Henna party. On Eid days, people of different races and countries come along and have a good time. 


@ Hurriyet

Sadly, this year we cannot go to the Mosque for Ramadan, and we may not go to the parties for Eid the same way we have done it in the past years.  And it is due to the Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19. The health officials have said we should limit contact with each other. So, I know that it is a hard time, and it is extremely unpleasant for us not to have some of our traditions for Ramadan and Eid, but we need to keep each other safe, and that's a good cause. 


Getting Ready for Eid

If you are not familiar with COVID-19, it is the new virus that is spreading across the globe. It is very dangerous for grandparents and people with medical issues, but we also know that people with a weak immune system cannot fight this virus, but people with an immune system that is too strong can hurt their blood cells, and that can lead to death. So, I know that it is a hard time, but I encourage you all to stay in your homes and hope that next Easter, Ramadan, and Eid will be much better. Another important thing, there is no current cure for COVID-19. So, we will remain careful until they make a vaccine or a cure, or it goes away on its own.

Bilateral Security Agreement: A supreme national interest and necessity of our time

By: Habib Sangar Afghanistan, taking into consideration its geopolitical location, for many centuries has been the center of focus for conquerors and superpowers. However, over the past 30 years and with the emergence of other regional actors (China, India, Iran, and Pakistan), the regional dynamics within the region that has had a direct impact over the situation in Afghanistan has been greatly shifted otherwise. Looking at the current situation of Afghanistan, its weak and corrupted administration, poorly equipped and fragile National Army and Police, as well as weak economy, the country has a long way towards being able to stand on its own feet and to defend its citizens against any kind of inside and outside threats. Unless there is a long-term guarantee and assurance that is more likely to be created with the long-term presence of the United States and its NATO allies on the ground, the likelihood of relapsing back into chaos is undeniable. The negotiation...

Strategic Partnership between India and Afghanistan

By: Habib Sangar Taking into account the importance of the friendship between Afghanistan and India, and the actual move that has been put in place with signing the Strategic Partnership (SP) today, it would be very suitable for the Afghan President, Hamid Karzai, to call this relationship as what the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Yusuf Raza Gilani, in a failed attempt of seeking support from the Chinese authorities, has termed their relationship as, “higher than mountains, deeper than oceans, stronger than steel and sweeter than honey”. Looking to the contents of this SP, Afghanistan as poor nation, dependent on international aid, facing a traditional enemy, Pakistan, who has always sought its interests in a destabilized, weak, and backward Afghanistan, is provided with an opportunity to ensure its long term security and stability as well as to accelerate its economic growth by utilizing all the potential resources that this wonderful piece of hearth personifies. However, as far ...

The dilemma of silence of Council of Religious Scholars

by : Habib Sangar Monterey, CA                   While the number of suicide attacks, in which most of the time innocent civilian get injured or killed, is increasing, the silence of the Council of Religious Scholars in response to this chronic   atrocity has remained Afghan people doubtful and concerned about the council’s leanings towards Taliban radical ideology. Past couple months have been the bloodiest months, with an unprecedented amount of violence and bloodshed. The recent acts of violence and terror have contributed to the anger and frustration of public to question the silence of this council.  One week after the religious clerics, in an unprecedented move, labeled one of the musical events of an Afghan singer, Shafiq Mureed, as an “immoral" act against Islamic values and ended up their bid in successfully canceling the event, in Kajaki village of Musa Qala district of unstable Helmand province, 17 people, ...
