Why do Afghanistan people celebrate their birthday only on January 1? A very dangerous truth is hidden behind reason.

Afghanistan, bordering Central Asia and South Asia, is known for its unique geographical location. However, this country, which is surrounded in conflict with Pakistan, suddenly came into the spotlight. Heavy shooting continues in the war between the two neighboring countries of India. Meanwhile, many videos and facts related to this conflict are going on social media viral. Afghanistan is rich in natural resources such as marble, coal, gold, natural gas and petroleum. Afghanistan has seen numerous invasions and periods of foreign rule of the Persian, Greek, British and Islamic empires. By 1996, the Taliban regime had taken control of much of the country. The group was overthrown as a result of the US invasion in 2001, but came to power again in 2021. In the midst of all this, Afghanistan is also known for its unique laws and traditions. Call it tradition or coercion, it is demanded on social media that some Afghans celebrate their birthday on January 1. But it is important to understand why this is so and what is the reason behind it, because there is a dangerous truth that is hidden behind it. Afghanistan’s flag has changed 20 times according to a Britannica report, Afghanistan has changed its national flag more times than any other country in the world since the 20th century. Since the independence of British rule in 1919, the National Flag of Afghanistan has been changed 20 times. This reflects changes in political power and national identity. The current national flag of Afghanistan has black, red and green stripes and a white national emblem, while the Taliban flag is white and has the word martyrdom (Islamic Confession) in black. There are no churches in Afghanistan 99.7% of the population of Afghanistan practicing Islam, so there are no public Christian churches. The only legally recognized Christian church building is the chapel of Our Lady of Divine Providence, located in the Italian embassy in Kabul. This Catholic Chapel was authorized in 1933 to serve foreign workers in the capital, but is not open to local citizens. Why Afghans are celebrating on January 1, one of the most interesting facts about Afghanistan is that some people here are even more important than the beginning of the new year, because it is their birthday. It is indeed alleged that many Afghans celebrate their birthday on January 1, a symbolic day of rebirth. This is because it was deeply affected by the Soviet War and Civil War in the 1980s and 1990s. During this time, the country was destroyed by large -scale turmoil and displacement. The war is believed to have destroyed many important civil records. As a result, Afghans had no official documents related to their birth dates. So January 1 became a viable option for many Afghans to celebrate their birthday. The consequences of the war are claimed that about 1.5 million Afghans died before 1992. However, the exact number of people who died in the war and those who were indirectly killed as a result of the conflict are unclear. The Soviet -off war led to hundreds or thousands of prisoners and civilians killed by tribal, ethnic or religious opponents. In addition to these deaths, the country also suffered from famine and serious illnesses, which took many more lives. The number of Afghan refugees living abroad has also varied over the years and reached about six million in the late 1980s.
