Loved the kite section - reminded me so much of being with the kids in the villages of India. Flying the kites across the village sky and attempting to “cut the lines” of competing kites in the sky. Cutting the lines by having your kite line rub against another. Brilliant! 🪁

Don't expect a terrorist group to know how to govern other than introducing idiotic rules

[@AbdullahAmine]

Haha, terrorist group? You're actually right, the terrorists that invaded Afghanistan for the last 20 years and before them the Soviets and before them the British. They were all terrorists and tried introducing idiotic western rules on them, they weren't having any of it and kicked them all out, one after the other. All the terrorists ran like dogs with their tails between their legs.

[@pn1386]

Hope you enjoyed Herat. Sad that is was cut short because of the Taliban, they are sadly very inconsistent with enforcing laws... I think they dont know what they are doing

[@phoenixrising8640]

With no offence to Emma. Our IEA security forces do know what they are doing. All countries security forces will take in anyone for questioning if they feel that they need to and I would rather our IEA security forces be thorough and leave no stone unturned to protect us, tourists and our national security. In other countries, security forces are less overt, only because they have better spying technology so don't have to go through a tourists/citizens phone in person because they have software that automatically does it for them without anyone's knowledge. After decades of war and still the presence of other countries secret services agencies in Afghanistan and the occasional ISKP attack, the IEA security forces need to be alert. I think that because other vloggers usually stay for much shorter periods of a few days and Emma stayed for 2 months, this obviously was a red flag for them. In time, things will settle but it definitely can't be now, it will take time and once we have better surveillance equipment and structures in place.

IF ONLY I WERE A KITE I often sit gazing at the sky above With my head in the clouds Wishing I was a kite in the sky Doing aerial ballet dancing in mid - air Rising like a ship, riding over high waves in the Ocean and sea Over hills and mountain tops Riding upon the breeze Soaring high up in the sky If only I were a kite I would dress in different colours every day To express happiness and the way I feel I would live my life with my own free will I would fly with my freedom in the sky A life of freedom as I choose Free from the horrors and troubles of this world If only I were a kite I would witness the beauty in the sky not seen from down below I would travel the world as a whole I would cover the distance between the earth and the sky I would fly with the birds and touch the clouds If only I were a kite......

[@cherryfairyy]

They won't allow you to film women anymore? :( (Reading your description) Also this is not hate! nothing but love to Afghans- and completely think what the US did to Afghanistan was awful! Just think it's sad if you aren't even allowed to film women / they aren't allowed to be heard .. :( Seems the government/men in power (NOT THE CITIZENS) trying to erase women from society so they are not seen, educated, heard, almost like they don't exist in public.. they only exist inside and not part of society . And no that is not hating on culture or religion at all... I think ur culture is beautiful and I dont believe the level of the way the govt is treating women is ur culture at all ! just seems like a government issue and is very sad. also don't wanna hear anyone say "don't tell us what to do with OUR women". Like people always say no matter where they are from when defending sexism. I doubt most of the population even agrees with these things (removing women completely from society so they aren't seen or heard) And the few that do, 1. sexism is not a part of any culture. All places have sexism it just manifests in different ways according to the government. 2. Women are just as much people as men. They are their own people. They don't belong to you. They have their own personhood and should be able to choose if they want to be seen and heard and part of public spaces / society or not. Nothing wrong with women who want to stay inside just saying they should be able to choose. Anyway much love to Afghanistan and very happy there is no war or occupation anymore and DON'T believe most of the people think that about women. Just commenting on what Im seeing some of the government doing.

[@cherryfairyy]

And I'm not insulting Afghanistan at all. I live in United States and I call out all the corruption in my government all the time, and the evil that goes on in it. Doesn't mean I hate my own country or people that live here obviously. The people are always better then the government and should not be seen as the same

I myself have never been displayed as a naked sex object by the way. It is a long stretch of the imagination from going to my office dressed in a business suit, which I know Afghan women cannot do. Afghan men need to learn that women are not to be owned or controlled by men. They are equal human beings with same rights as men.
