2 | An eyeshot of Kabul, capital of Afghanistan, and the country's largest city with a population of about 3.3 million. | Topimaso an'i Kabul, renivohitr'i Afghanistan, sady tanàna lehibe indrindra ao amin'ny firenena, misy mponina efa ho 3,3 tapitrisa. |

5 | Indian photo-journalist Aaquib Khan arrived in the rapidly changing Afghan capital Kabul in 2014. He shares some of his pictures and his insights with us in this post. | Toy ny firenena iray rotiky ny bala sy ny faneriterena ara-pinoana no tena ahitàna be an'i Afganistana, faritra iray tsy diavim-behivavy, toerana iray mbola mizotra ho amin'ny atao hoe maoderina, ka na tanora na antitra any, tsy misy afaka hanana fanantenana hahita hoavy tsara kokoa. |
6 | Afghanistan is widely seen as a country torn between bullets and religious bullies, a no woman's land, a pre-modern place where neither young nor old can have hope for a better future. | Tsy hafa tamin'izany ny sary tato an-tsaiko, mandra-pigadoko teo Kabul, renivohitr'ity firenena ity, tamin'ny taona lasa. Na dia betsaka amin'ireo sary momba an'i Kabul aza no nanamafy izay efa tao an-tsaiko nahalalako ity firenena ity, dia nisy ireo fotoana vitsy tsy vitan'ny fakantsary ny nandrakitra azy. |
7 | The image in my mind was no different, until I landed in the country's capital, Kabul last year. | Tafiditra ao anaty fifandonana ny fomba fanao tranainy, ny vaovao ary ny resaka maoderina. Ry zareo Afgàna no toa mivoaka miandàlana ho mpandresy hatrany. |
8 | Though much of the Kabul's imagery conformed to my understanding of the country, there were many other moments that cameras rarely capture. | Kabul, toeran'ny fanantenana, ny aingam-panahy, ny fahaizana mandray am-pitiavana ny vahiny, izany rehetra izany no mitselatra eny amin'ireo Afgana rehefa nahita ny pasipaoroko miloko manga ry zareo Afgàna. |
9 | Old and new, traditions and modernity, are locked in a struggle. | “Oh, Indiana ve ianao? Tia sarimihetsika Indiana aho!” |
10 | Afghans, slowly and steadily, seem to be the winners. | Mandravaka ireo toeram-pivarotana mozika eran'ny firenena ny saribe ahitàna ireo kintan'ny sarimihetsika Indiana. |
11 | School kids hide their faces as many consider getting photographed a sin. Photo by Aaquib Khan. | Misy toeram-pivarotana goavana iray nomena anarana avy amin'ilay “Select City Walk” (Fitsangantsanganana Voafantina Manerana ny Tanàna) malaza ao Delhi. |
12 | Kabul is a place of hope, aspiration, warmth and hospitality, all of which shine through when Afghans saw my blue passport. | Mifanena aminao eny an-tsefantsefan'ny tsena be olona eny ireo mpianatra nivoaka avy amin'ireo Anjerimanontolo Indiana any amin'ireo tanàn-dehibe ka hatrany amin'ireo tanàna Indiana kely. |
13 | “Oh, you are Indian? | Tsy ho tokam-bolo mihitsy i Afganistana. |
14 | I love Indian movies!” A life-size poster of the Hindi film ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan' showing Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif in one of Kabul's music shops. | Miara-mamindra eny ireo tovovavy handeha hamonjy sekoly sy vehivavy misarona “burqa”, ireo tovovavy an-dàlana ho any amin'ny anjerimanontolo, raha any ho any kosa misy CD na DVD avy amin'ireo serimihetsika avy any Bollywood sy Hollywood renao mandeha any ambadimbadika any, kiaka miainga avy any amin'ny lavitra indrindra tamin'ireo vanim-potoana Talibàna nandraràna ny fialamboly. |
15 | New Indian films are quite the rage in the country. Turkish soap operas are also increasingly popular. | Mitafy akanjon'ny ampakarina ireo sariolona eny anaty fitaratry ny fivarotana ao Kabul any amin'ireo faritra nandravàn'ny Talibàna ireo sarivongan'ny Bodista tao Bamiyan. |
16 | Photo by Aaquib Khan. Indian movies and songs rule Kabul's music market, but JLo and Britney Spears are also quite famous among youth. | Avy eo dia ny fifaninanan'ny dokambarotr'ireo mpanome tolotra finday, ireo fampielezampeo FM, fantsom-pahitalavitra mandeha 24 ora, ireo fandaharana marobe ifanakalozan-dresaka momba ny zon'ny vehivavy. |
17 | Songs old and new can be heard in taxis, shops and on young men's phones. | Misy ireo trano fisotroana “hookah”, izay hookah sy kafe no aroso. |

19 | There is a mall named after Delhi's famous Select City Walk. | Mandalo anao ny fiara mampaneno anjomara ary mamela anao ho ao anaty torajofom-bovoka. |
20 | Alumni of Indian universities in the metropolises as well as small Indian towns bump into you on the fringes of crowded market places. | Itarainan'ireo Afgàna ny fitombon'ny fahalotoana ao Kabul. Ny olon'ny mpitandro filaminana no mifehy ny arabe, ary misidina eny an-tampon-dohan'ny mpandeha an-tongotra eny ny angidimby. |
21 | A mall in Kabul named ‘Select City Walk'. A number of shopping malls are growing up in the capital. | Anivon'izany fientanana tsy misy mpifehy izany, misy mampahatahotra: inona no hitranga rehetra tapitra miala daholo ireo tafika Amerikàna sisa tavela? |
22 | Photo by Aaquib Khan. Dil Jan has been a bookseller on the streets of Kabul for many years. | Nefa inoan'ireo tanora Afgàna fa efa vory hery ny fireneny taorian'ireo ampolo taona namparefo azy sy nisamantsamahany. |
23 | She believes that young Afghans must read, for themselves and for their nation. | Teny faneva iray no ventesin-dry zareo, izay midika hoe: “Afganistàna tokana. Tsy mila Tajik, Tsy mila Hazara, Tsy mila Pashtun”. |

27 | Young women on their way to university, while CDs and DVDs of Bollywood and Hollywood movies can be heard playing in the background, a far cry from the blanket bans on entertainment of the Taliban period. | Ilay lapa, fantatra tamin'ny nisedràny ireo safotofoto politika isan-karazany tao Kabul, dia niorina tany amin'ny taona 1930 tany ho any. 5.5% monja amin'ireo tanora Afgàna no mba manana fahafahana miditra amin'ny aterineto amin'ireo 20 tapitrisa mampiasa finday tao amin'ny firenena tamin'ny 2012. |
28 | In the land where the Taliban brought down the Buddhist statues of Bamiyan, mannequins in Kabul's shop windows don extravagant bridal wears. | Nitàna toerana lehibe teo amin'ny fampifandraisana ny tanora ny teknolojia nandritry ny fifidianana izay ho filoham-pirenena tamin'ny taona lasa. |

36 | There is a growing demand for uploading songs and videos on mobile phones and compact discs in Afghanistan. | Hatramin'ny 2012, raha ny vinavinan'ny Banky Iraisampirenena, 7,8 tapitrisa no tafiditra an-tsekoly, ka manodidina ny 2,9 tapitrisa no ankizivavy. |

40 | There are gyms for women, too. Photo by Aaquib Khan. | Amidy eny amin'ireo mpivarotra manamorona ny arabe manerana ny firenena ilay mofo nentim-paharazana ‘Naanbai'. |
41 | Vehicles honk past you and leave you in a trail of dust. | Manao karazana Naanbai amin'ny endrika maro ireo mpanamboatra Naanbai, matetika no mirefy antsasa-metatra na iray metatra latsaka kely ny halavany ary amin'ny endrika isan-karazany. |
42 | Afghans complain of increasing pollution in Kabul. | Sary an'i Aaquib Khan. Afganistàna ho an'ny Afgàna! |

44 | Amid the exuberance, there is apprehension: what will happen when the remnants of the US army finally withdraw? | Sary an'i Aaquib Khan. Ao anaty firenena iray izay nanjakan'ny ady nandritry ny fotoana ela, mbola ny varobarotra no tena antom-pivelomana. |
45 | But young Afghans believe their country is gathering strength after decades of weakness and division. | Lahiantitra misatroka satrobory ary mitorevaka eo aminà zara fa birao fanakalozana vola, raha ny hafa indray mitanina andro. |
46 | They shout a slogan which translates as: “One Afghanistan. No Tajik, No Hazara, No Pashtun”. | Avo be ny tinady amin'ny fanakalozana vola manerana an'y Kabul noho ny fisian'ireo vahiny miasa ao an-toerana. |

70 | An old man with a skull cap sits at a makeshift currency exchange while others sit in sun. | Nitombo ny famokarana zava-mahadomelina any amin'ny faritra samihafa ao Afganistàna hatramin'ny fananiham-bohitra notarihan'ny Amerikana tamin'ny 2001. |
