Ghofran said that there will be sports performances from Afghan athletes from the afternoon to the early hours of the evening.
The planned celebrations are coming because Afghanistan has been interrupted by a major refugee flow from neighboring countries, a meticulous economy and especially in foreign financing from the US.
Approximately 10 million people are faced with acute food insecurity and one of the three children is a bodur.
Black and white flags were exhibited in Kabul on Thursday.
Ahsan Ullah Khan of the North Sar-e-Pul state encouraged Afghan diaspora to return to see how peaceful the country was and how happy people were.
However, Kabul resident Zafar Momand said that Afghans need more than peace.
“We need employment and education opportunities with peace. If these problems are solved, Afghanistan is the best country to live.” He said.
“Women are also an important part of society. There must be education and business opportunities.”
Women are prohibited from education beyond the sixth year, many jobs and most of them from public spaces.
It was not clear whether women would allow to participate in the anniversary festivals.
UNESCO Director Audrey Azoulay said in a statement on Thursday that Afghanistan is the only country where secondary and higher education in the world is strictly prohibited for girls and women.
“Approximately 2.2 million were banned from going beyond the primary level to the school due to this regular decision,” Azoulay said. He said.
“Women’s exclusion from public life, half of the country’s population already live under the poverty limit, there are disaster results for long -term development.”
Last year’s anniversary celebrations were held at Bagram Airport, the center of the US War to defeat the Taliban and hunt the Al Qaeda perpetrators of 9/11 attacks.
Women, including female journalists from Associated Press and Agency France-Presse, were banned from this incident.
