Afghanistan is a very small country in the Middle East that has a very high terrorist problem. It is also very humid in Afghanistan and very hot, the temp is about 103F. Afghanistan is also a very poor country.
Now I am going to tell you some fact about Afghanistan. Afghanistan population is 28,717,213 and is at a growth rate of 2.4%. The president of Afghanistan is Hamid Karzai. The area that Afghanistan occupies is 250,000 sq miles. The largest city in Afghanistan is Mazar-I-sharif. The languages they speak are Pushtu, Dari Persian, other Turkic and minor languages. The main religion in Afghanistan is Islam. Now I will talk about transportation, Afghanistan has 46 Airports, 21,000km in total and only 2,793km paved. The normal man in Afghanistan makes about $800.
Now I am going to tell you about the history of Afghanistan. Alexander the great was the first to use Afghanistan as a gateway to India. The Islamic people arrived in the 7th century. In the 19th century Britain and czarist Russia battled for control over central Asia. During the cold war Afghanistan developed close ties with the Soviet Union. On August 20, 1998 the U.S. launched cruise missiles to destroy terrorist training complex in Afghanistan. In September 2001, a suicide bomber kill legendary guerrilla leader Ahmed Shah Masoud. On October 7, after Talibain wouldnt give up Bin Laden U.S. allies would have daily air strikes on Afghan military bases and terrorist training camps.
Afghanistan has a very bad relationship with the U.S. because of all of the terrorist attacks.
I have told you about what their population, languages they speak, their largest city and other stuff. I have also told you about their culture and their history of Afghanistan, the religion they believe in. Finally have told you what is the relation between the U.S.A and Afghanistan.
