EOL wants govt explanation on journalist killing

KABUL: (March 11): Eslahonline.net strongly condemns killing of local journalist Javed Ahmad Kakar in Kandahar and asks for explanation of the government in this regard as his family members suggest that local intelligence officials might be involved.
Javed Ahmad was gunned down in one of the safest areas of Kandahar city Tuesday evening.
He was working with Iran-based Press TV and Canadian media.
Eslahonline.net (EOL) and its sister media outlets, Eslah FM and Eslah-e-Milli Weekly, are deeply grieved and shocked by killing of a proactive member of the flourishing media family in Afghanistan.
We ask the government to carry out an immediate thorough investigation into the cold-blood murder of Javed Ahmad and put an end to the custom of keeping tight-lipped on such cases.
Family members of the journalist said Javed Ahmad received threats from some officials in the local intelligence department and suggested that the local officials might be behind the murder.
This is the second Afghan journalist to be killed within an year in the south mysteriously.
Last year, Abdul Samad Rohani, another journalist, was killed in Helmand with no detailed investigations about his murder yet.
EOL asks all the media outlets and journalists in Afghanistan to raise a strong protest against the government if it remains indifferent about Javed Ahmad's murder and fails to provide a realistic probe into the case.

EOL launches Seerat Quiz

EslahOnline.net (EOL) is launching Seerat Quiz for free participation of the online community of Afghans.
Seerat means in Arabic study of life of prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
The Seerat Quiz aims at promoting understanding of the online Afghan youth about life of the great leader of humanity.
The Seerat Quiz is to be undertaken in late February coinciding with birthday of the prophet i.e 12 Rabi-ul-Awwal.
EOL is Afghanistan's fast-flourishing portal in two main languages of Afghanistan. It has been operating since September last year and has got a quick popularity in the short time.
The effort to encourage Afghan internet-users come as the vast majority of media outlets try to alienate the youth in Afghanistan from their religious and cultural values and identity.
Dr Hedayatullah Hamidi, in charge of the Youth For the Future section of EOL, said the quiz will give an opportunity to the youth who love studying Islam and the prophet to demonstrate thier abilities.
“This will be the first ever online quiz aiming to promote knowlede of the Afghan youth in Afghanistan,” said Hamidi.
The quiz will be going for over three weeks with questions being posted online everyday during the working days.
Funding has been provided by three Afghans with an intention to promote the urge of knowledge among the youth.
According to the Ministry of Communication sources, more than half a million Afghans are using internet in Afghanistan while there are no figures about Afghans in exile.
EOL tries to reach to as many Afghans as possible.
EOL has considered 35 prizes for the winners, ranging from $500 to $50.
