Remembrance Day for Martyrs and Disabled (Afghanistan)

The culture of Afghanistan has persisted for centuries and encompasses the cultural diversity of the nation. Afghanistan's culture is historically strongly connected to nearby Persia, including the same religion, as the people of both countries have lived together for thousands of years. Its location at the crossroads of Central, South and West Asia historically made it a hub of diversity, dubbed by one historian as the "roundabout of the ancient world".
