In Afghanistan, people in black turban are distinguished as Sayyed. Sayyids are Arabs, and Sayyids in Asia are of Arab origin. The Sayyids are a branch of the tribe of Banu Hashim, a clan from the tribe of Quraish, which traces its lineage to Adnan, whose lineage traces back to the Prophet Ismael the son of the Prophet Ibrahim or Abraham. Anyhow, they are different. Among Afghan Sunni Muslim, especially in Helmand, you find them loyal to Mullah Omar and Taliban.

It is three days I am in Lashkargah, the capital of Helmand province. In the last two days I have been teaching blogging and online journalism for journalist in IWPR center. What a great please. Leaning to learn others leave a good impression in me. I took this picture yesterday evening after while I was swimming in Bost hotel pole which is located at the bank of the Helmand River. When I saw the sunset, it was giving a different message of this city which is became so bloody for its inhabitant.
