121. Afghanistan's Rich Cultural Heritage In Ruins
     To be sure, afghanistan right now is a cultural disaster , among other things. But observers argue that this makes it all the more important and urgent to

     Extractions: Indeed, that is why the reconstruction and preservation of Afghan heritage is the focus of "International Year of Cultural Heritage - 2002", launched by Koichiro Matsuura, director general of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) last month here in Islamabad. Afghanistan, after all, was once fought over by the some of the greatest names in the history of mankind, among them Alexander the Great. The northwestern city of Herat was made the capital of the Mongol conqueror Tamerlane in the late 14th century, and subsequently became a center of Persian art and learning. UNESCO's Pakistan representative, Ingeborg Breines, said that although it is hard to include culture in the Afghan reconstruction efforts at this stage, the UN agency is still working to integrate the restoration and preservation of the cultural heritage into the country's policies and plans. "The immediate priority is the formation of a cultural policy by the Afghan government, revival of Kabul museum and the reconstruction of Islamic cultural heritage in Herat city," she said. "As in [other] post-conflict countries, it is extremely important that the people in the new rebuilding operation be rallied at something that could give them national identity - and that they care not only for the Islamic but also pre-Islamic culture."

     Extractions: February 27, 2001 Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar issued orders on February 26 to destroy all statues in Afghanistan, claiming this was in line with "Islamic" beliefs. Afghan museums contain ancient and culturally priceless statuary from the Greek, Buddhist and other eras of the country's rich and varied history. Two massive and ancient statues of the Buddha, located in the central province of Bamiyan, date from the second century and are among the world's great cultural treasures. The United States is distressed and baffled by this announcement by the Taliban. Their action directly contradicts one of Islam's basic tenets tolerance for other religions. Deliberate destruction of statues and sculpture held as sacred by peoples of different faiths is incomprehensible, as is the Taliban's utter rejection of the treasures of Afghanistan's past. The United States joins the United Nations Special Mission to Afghanistan, the UN Economic and Social Council and other governments in urging the Taliban to halt this desecration of Afghanistan's cultural heritage.
