Afghanistan

At the remote crossroads of Central and South Asia Fostering pre-history vestiges as landlocked country Gathered the dust of the famous ancient silk route Hibernated long in the cauldron of tribal ethnicity Assimilating deeply the Islamic culture and customs Never compromised with personal freedom concept In spite of the drag of poverty plunging people in abyss Subservient spectators of numerous military campaigns Turning the land into tormented target of geopolitics All crusades crumbled in inhospitable hostile terrain Not untruly it is nicknamed “graveyard of empires”.
