Independence Day Celebration An Income Source For Some Residents

The Independence Day celebration was an income source for some residents who sold flags and other decorative tools on the Kabul streets.

Ali, 40, a taxi driver, changed his car to a flag selling shop on Saturday.

He said he had good income from selling the flags and other decorative tools.

“We sell the large flags from 150 to 200 AFs and gain 30 to 50 AFs profit from every flag,” said Ali.

Other residents had gathered in Wazir Akbar Khan hill, which was decorated by Afghan flags.

“We gained our independence during King Amanullah Khan,” said Saifuddin, a resident of Kabul.

“Everyone should take part in the celebration,” said Zmarai, a resident of Kabul.

The 98th Independence Day was marked in various ceremonies attended by dozens of Afghans across the country.

Saturday, August 19, is marked as Afghanistan’s 98th anniversary of independence that was gained 98 years ago from Great Britain during King Amanullah Khan’s rule.

Kabul had many ceremonies to mark the Independence Day. Groups of youth surfed in Kabul streets with decorated vehicles and hoisted the Afghan flags.
