Base Aèria de Farkhor

La Base Aèria de Farkhor és una base aèria militar situada prop de la ciutat de Farkhor, al Tadjikistan, a 130 quilòmetres al sud-est de la capital, Duixanbe, i molt propera a la frontera amb Afganistan. Està operada per la Força Aèria de l'Índia en col·laboració amb la Força Aèria del Tadjikistan. Farkhor és la primera base militar de l'Índia fora del seu territori. Història El 1996-97, l'Ala de Recerca i Anàlisi (anglès: Research and Analysis Wing, abreujat com R&AW) va iniciar negociacions amb el Tadjikistan per a utilitzar la base aèria de Farkhor per a transportar subministraments militars a gran altitud a l'Aliança del Nord afganesa, donar servei als seus helicòpters i reunir informació d'intel·ligència. En aquells dies, l'Índia gestionava un petit hospital militar al districte de Farkhor. L'hospital de Farkhor es va utilitzar per a tractar als membres de l'Aliança del Nord afganesa ferits en els combats amb els talibans, inclòs el cap militar Ahmad Shah Massud, que va ser traslladat allí després d'un atemptat suïcida contra ell. El 2002, l'Índia va reconèixer que estava instal·lant una base aèria a Farkhor, que es va aconseguir amb ajuda de Rússia. La base aèria es trobava en estat ruïnós i no s'utilitzava des de la dècada de 1980. El 2003, el govern indi va adjudicar a un constructor privat una licitació de 10 milions de dòlars per a restaurar la base aèria abans de 2005. Després de l'impagament del constructor, l'Organització de Carreteres Frontereres va intervenir per a completar les obres. El 2006, l'Índia es va plantejar desplegar un esquadró d'avions MiG 29 a la base. Situació estratègica i implicacions geopolítiques La base aèria de Farkhor proporcionaria a l'exèrcit indi la profunditat i l'abast necessaris per a exercir un paper més important en el subcontinent indi i és una manifestació tangible de la intenció de l'Índia de projectar el seu poder a l'Àsia central.

Farkhor Air Base

Farkhor Air Base is a military airfield located near the town of Farkhor in Tajikistan, 130 kilometres (81 mi) southeast of the capital Dushanbe. Farkhor was reported by Indian media outlets as country's first military base outside its territory. India operated a field hospital at Farkhor in the late-1990s and early-2000s, which was closed after the establishment of NATO-led ISAF mission. History In 1996–97, the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) started negotiations with Tajikistan to use the Farkhor Air Base to transport high-altitude military supplies to the Afghan Northern Alliance, service their helicopters and gather intelligence. At that time, India operated a small military hospital in the Farkhor region. The hospital at Farkhor was used to treat Afghan Northern Alliance members injured in fighting with the Taliban, including military leader Ahmed Shah Massoud, who was rushed there after a suicide attack against him. In 2002, India acknowledged that it was setting up an air base in Farkhor with Russian assistance. As of 2015, there has not been any evidence of Indian Air Force presence at Farkhor.

Фархор (авиабаза)

Авиабаза Фархор — военная авиационная база, расположенная недалеко от города Пархар (тадж. Фархор) в 130 километрах к юго-востоку от столицы Таджикистана Душанбе, на границе с Афганистаном. Авиабаза эксплуатируется военно-воздушными силами Индии в сотрудничестве с военно-воздушными силами Таджикистана. Вместе с авиабазой Айни Фархор является одной из двух военных баз Индии, расположенных вне её государственных границ. История В 1996—1997 годах Отдел исследований и анализа (формирование внешней разведки Индии) начал переговоры с Таджикистаном об использовании авиабазы Фархор для транспортировки военного оборудования для афганского Северного альянса, а также для ремонта своих вертолётов и сбора разведывательных данных. В то время Индия владела лишь небольшим военным госпиталем в Пархарском районе. Госпиталь предназначался для лечения бойцов Северного альянса, пострадавших в сражениях с Талибаном, в их числе был и глава Альянса Ахмад Шах Масуд, на которого было совершено покушение. В 2002 году Индия подтвердила создание своей авиабазы в Пархаре, что было достигнуто в сотрудничестве с Россией. База находилась в полуразрушенном состоянии и не использовалась с 1980-х годов. В 2003 году индийское правительство выделило 10 млн долларов на реконструкцию базы к 2005 году. После окончания реконструкции госпиталь был закрыт. В настоящее время вся деятельность на территории авиабазы засекречена. Стратегическое значение Авиабаза Фархор предоставила индийским военным широкие стратегические возможности на Индийском субконтиненте и в Центральной Азии. В связи с этим бывший президент Пакистана Первез Мушарраф высказал обеспокоенность, подчеркнув возможное увеличение влияния Индии в Афганистане, и предположив, что база позволит индийским военным в случае очередного конфликта полностью окружить Пакистан с воздуха.

Ghazi Amanullah International Cricket Stadium

The Ghazi Amanullah Khan Cricket Stadium (Pashto: غازي امان الله خان کرکټ لوبغالی) is located in the eastern Nangarhar Province of Afghanistan, a short distance to the east of Jalalabad in the new Ghazi Amanullah Town. It became the first international cricket stadium in the country and has been hosting regional cricket matches for over a decade now. Construction of the stadium began in March 2010 when the foundation stone was laid by Minister of Finance and then-president of the Afghanistan Cricket Board, Omar Zakhilwal. The project was developed on 30 acres of land donated by the developer constructing Ghazi Amanullah Town. The first phase of construction, which took a year to complete, cost $1.8 million, and included the completion of the basic stadium. A pavilion, accommodation for players and administrative buildings were constructed later. It is hoped that the stadium will be able to attract international teams to play Afghanistan, which is now a Full Member of the International Cricket Council.

Gurdwara Karte Parwan de Kabul

La Gurdwara Karte Parwan de Kabul (en hindi: काबुल के गुरुद्वारा) es troba en el barri de Karte Parwan a Kabul, Afganistan i és una de les principals gurdwares de la regió. La paraula gurdwara significa l'entrada al guru, i és un lloc de culte pels sikhs. Abans hi havia milles de sikhs visquent a Kabul abans de la Revolució Saur de 1978 i de la Guerra afganèsa-soviètica de l'Afganistan. Molts sikhs van haver de fugir entre els refugiats afganesos, en els anys 1980 i 1990 a l'Índia i en el veí Pakistan.

Gurdwara Karte Parwan

Karte Parwan Gurdwara in the Karte Parwan section of Kabul, Afghanistan, is one of the main Gurdwaras in the region. Gurdawara means the Gateway to the Guru, and is a place of worship for Sikhs. Background There were thousands of Sikhs living in Kabul before the Soviet–Afghan War and Afghan Civil War (1992–1996). Many of them fled among the Afghan refugees in the 1980s and 1990s to India and neighboring Pakistan. After the American military involvement and the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001, some of them decided to return. As of 2008, there was an estimated 2,500 Sikhs in Afghanistan. However, after the Taliban got full control of Afghanistan, there is an estimated 43 Sikh individuals left in the country. The road outside the Gurdwara was widened prior to 2009 and the two rows of buildings and the courtyard of the Gurdwara have been reduced in size. Attacks On October 5, 2021, some armed individuals which were assumed to be affiliated with the Taliban forcibly entered the site and began destroying the interior. Damage to furniture, walls, and windows was reported as well as destruction of several security cameras. On 18 June 2022, militants affiliated to the Islamic State-Khorasan Province stormed the gurdwara and fired at the worshippers. Later that day, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan's Interior Ministry spokesman Abdul Nafi Takor announced that three militants had been neutralized by Taliban soldiers and the gunfight resulted in the death of one Taliban soldier and a Sikh worshipper.

Minaretes de Gazni

Los Minaretes de Gazni son dos torres de minarete selaboradamente decoradas situadas en la ciudad de Gazni, en el centro de Afganistán. Se construyeron a mediados del siglo XII y son los únicos elementos que se conservan de la mezquita de Bahram Shah.​ Los dos minaretes distan 600 metros entre sí y se encuentran en una llanura abierta, al noreste de la ciudad de Ghazni.​ Los minaretes tenían una altura de 44 metros en el siglo XIX, antes de que la mitad superior de ambos se derrumbara en un terremoto en 1902.​ Actualmente, los minaretes tienen unos 20 metros de altura. Los dos minaretes de Gazni miden 20 metros ​ de altura y están construidos con ladrillos de barro cocido. La superficie de las torres está bellamente decorada con intrincados motivos geométricos y versículos coránicos en elaborados azulejos de terracota. En la década de 1960, ambas torres se cubrieron con tejados de chapa metálica en un esfuerzo limitado de conservación.​​ Las ruinas del Palacio del sultán Mas'ud III se encuentran cerca del miranete de Mas'ud III de Gazni. Historia Son los monumentos más famosos de la ciudad y se encuentran entre los últimos vestigios supervivientes del gran Imperio gaznávida. Los dos minaretes se llaman Minarete de Mas'ud III (Manar-i Mas'ud III) y Minarete de Bahram Shah (Manar-i Bahram Shah) en honor al gobernante que los construyó, Mas'ud III (1099-1115 d C.). 1099-1115 d. C. y Bahram-Shah de Gazni (1118-1157 d. C.).​ Cerca de las torres se encuentra el palacio excavado de Masud III.​ Eran más altos antes de que las secciones superiores sufrieran daños y se destruyeran con el tiempo. Parte de la parte superior del minarete Mas'ud III quedó destruida en un terremoto en 1902.​​ Peligros Los minaretes no están bien conservados ni protegidos. Ambas torres corren peligro por los elementos naturales y la inestabilidad política de Afganistán. No existen medidas de seguridad básicas para evitar el vandalismo y las torres necesitan nuevos tejados para evitar la infiltración de agua en ellas.​ La fachada de las torres contiene intrincados motivos geométricos e inscripciones coránicas que se están deteriorando rápidamente con la exposición a la lluvia y la nieve. Además, se ven afectadas por la carretera cercana y la zona sufre inundaciones periódicas.​ Galería Minaree de Mas'ud III El minarete de Masud III es estilísticamente más complejo y utiliza una mayor variedad de técnicas decorativas, en comparación con el minarete de su hijo Bahram Shah.​ Véase también Ciudadela de Gazni Minarete de Jam Referencias Enlaces externos
