Afghanistan’s cultural heritage must be protected: UNESCO

The UNESCO on Thursday called for the preservation of Afghanistan’s cultural heritage in its diversity, and taking all precautions to protect the country’s historic assets from “damage and looting”, amid deepening crisis in the war-torn nation since the Taliban takeover. In a statement, the UNESCO also reminded of the “deliberate destruction” of the iconic Bamiyan Buddhas, a world heritage site in Afghanistan’s Bamiyan Valley, in 2001.

Amid the rapidly unfolding events, and 20 years after the deliberate destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas, UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay has called for preservation of cultural heritage of Afghanistan, the statement said. Azoulay shared the UNESCO statement and tweeted, “We are calling for the preservation of #Afganisthan cultural heritage in its diversity, in full respect of international law, and for taking all necessary precautions to spare and protect cultural heritage from damage and looting.”

The UNESCO early this year marked 20 years of the destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas. “The empty niches of the giant Buddhas in the Bamiyan Valley of Afghanistan are a perpetual reminder of our duty to protect cultural heritage, and what future generations stand to lose if we do not. Today, these niches are inscribed on the World Heritage List,” it had said. “The tragic destruction of the Buddhas of Bamiyan in March 2001, which was broadcast across the globe, led to a global recognition of the need to protect cultural heritage at risk,” the UNESCO had said.

Husband Mark Zuckerberg fulfils ‘disco queen’ Priscilla Chan’s demand for a party and how

Mark Zuckerberg’s party for Priscilla Chan has won people over. Many were surprised by the tech billionaire’s makeover.

Mark Zuckerberg never shies away from sharing glimpses of his sweet and heartwarming moments with his family. From sharing pics of a statue of his wife, Priscilla Chan, to turning into a nail artist for his daughter, he regularly posts visuals which wow people. In a similar post, he shared pictures to show what he did when his “disco queen” wife asked for a party.

“Disco queen wanted a party,” Zuckerberg wrote as he posted the pictures. The first photo shows the couple sharing an intimate moment while kissing each other. The other images show them enjoying the party, with both dressed in shimmery clothes.

What did social media say?

“I always knew you were this cool,” posted an Instagram user. “He changed after attending Ambani’s wedding,” joked another. This has been a viral remark after Mark Zuckerberg’s recent wardrobe update, including Hawaiian shirts and a thick gold chain, which coincidentally happened after he attended Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s first pre-wedding festivities.

Roman-inspired statue

A few days ago, the Meta CEO unveiled a giant statue in his backyard. Created by Daniel Arsham, it is a larger-than-life statue of his wife.

He met Priscilla Chan at Harvard University in 2003 as a student. The couple later got married in 2012. They have three daughters: Maxima, August (born August 2017), and Aurelia.
