Norouz in Kabul, Afghanistan

Norouz is a traditional new year holiday celebrated by people in Afghanistan, the Balkans, the Caucasus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Kurdistan, India, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, as well as in Iranian and Turkic communities all over the world. The residents of Kabul celebrated Norouz walking to green areas around the city. On Maranjan Hill, people fly kites and dance while families stroll around leisurely. Interestingly enough, all these activities were banned under the Taliban regime. Indeed, the Taliban had also banned Norouz itself.

@khanSherKhan

You're so dumb, half the Kurds in Iran are Shi'a and who gives two pieces of shit what their religion is? I'm sorry you're a Pakistani wannabe, please move to Pakistan and join your people. You dance like them, eat like them, have the same music, just a different language - so GO, go home to Pakistan and leave us Iranians alone.
