UNICEF builds school named after a criminal

It’s so good to hear schools are being built in a country with some of the worst literacy indicators in the world.

UNICEF has just completed spending US$60,000 on a school in the northern Balkh Province which has been named “Shaheed Mazari School”.

For a brief profile of Mazari’s criminal activities in Kabul in 1992-1993, see Human Rights Watch’s Blood-Stained Hands.

Two things are interesting about our warlords: alive they want private TV stations, mini palaces and ministries when dead their cronies name public schools, roundabouts and streets after them.

What would you name the school if you could choose?

In that case Ahmad Khan Abdali, Amanullah Khan, Nadir Khan (ghadar), Zahir Khan, Abdul Rahman Khan, and a thousand others who massacred people should be removed. In Mazar there when they named a Hazara neighborhood after Abdul Rahman khan (king of war criminals). The more you try to belittle others, the more resistance you will creat.
