“Hello friends,

Currently, due to some technical limitations in the construction work at the old site as well as to provide the audience with the best audio and visual experience, MTE decided to move the venue for the Tri liveshow. Yin on April 25 from Military Khu 7 Stadium to Phu Tho Stadium.

MTE is very sorry and hope viewers sympathize with BTC about this change; hope to continue to receive your support for My Tam’s Tri Am show.

Sincerely thank you for your companionship. MT Entertainment with love “, shared on My Tam fanpage.

Before that, when My Tam announced the venue for Tri Am’s liveshow as Military Zone 7 Stadium, many people speculated that the expected capacity was up to 40,000 spectators. However, the stadium representatives later confirmed that only 18,000 tickets were stamped and the maximum capacity was 25,000.

Military Zone 7 Stadium.

On the new place is Phu Tho Stadium, some information says that the capacity here falls to about 5000 and can be expanded to 7000 if it is a big event. This means that compared to the original expected number of tickets, the audience participating in Liveshow Tri Am has decreased to only 1/3.

Currently, some viewers are still wondering if moving to a new location with such capacity while the initial ticket sales may be higher, how these cases will be resolved.

Many Afghan women are worried about the news of the US withdrawal from the country. (Source: Guardian)

US officials said on April 13 that President Joe Biden plans to withdraw 2,500 of the country’s remaining soldiers from Afghanistan by 9/11, a 20-year milestone since the date of the terrorist attacks. father al Qaeda in America, triggering the longest war ever for Washington.

The obsession cannot go to school

According to the sheet Guardian, many girls are enjoying the joy of going to school, comfortably communicating with friends who are deeply frustrated to learn that the Americans are leaving and that the Taliban may return soon.

Basireh Heydari, a student at Herat University, said: “The Americans are leaving. We have bad days ahead with the Taliban. I’m worried that they won’t let me out of the house, let alone what I’m doing right now.

For generations, Afghan girls and women have not enjoyed the simple happiness of going to school. Most of Heydari’s mother-generation women were banned from school. And Heydari and her friends fear they are taking the final exam in their life.

Heydari confided: “I have only one wish, that is to complete my studies and of course work. But with the Taliban strengthening, I don’t think I will achieve my dream.

Although full of worries, Heydari also hopes to have another choice. For example, if the Taliban did not allow her to go to school with male students, they would be willing to take women’s classes.

But Salma Ehrari, an economics student, is skeptical: “The Taliban are using technology, have a Twitter account but they have the same thoughts as 20 years ago. I won’t be able to go to school ”.

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani on April 14 said the country’s forces “have enough capacity” to defend the country. The statement came after US President Joe Biden decided to withdraw his troops from Afghanistan before 9/11/2021.

In areas where the Taliban are gaining control, the situation is even worse. The reporter Atifa Alizadeh is being asked to temporarily quit her job due to safety concerns.

At least eight journalists have been killed in the country in the past six months, as part of a wave of attacks targeting media workers and activists.

Basireh Safa Theri, a social activist who was lucky enough to go to school after the fall of the Taliban. She is closely monitoring negotiations between the national government and the Taliban after international forces have left. However, the Afghan peace process is still at a standstill as negotiations between the Afghan government and the Taliban in the Qatar capital, Doha, stall.

“They are negotiating every day but unfortunately there is no word about women’s education. They just talk about power ”.

America failed, Taliban prevailed?

Afghans fear that as the US and its allies withdraw from Afghanistan, tensions between the national government and the Taliban will intensify.

According to UN statistics, violence against civilians, especially women and children, has not declined in the past year. The Taliban’s control in Afghanistan is seen to be greater than at any time in the past two decades, raising doubts about the ambiguous effectiveness of the continued foreign military presence in the country.

On April 14, Director of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) William Burns told the US Senate Intelligence Committee: “When the US military withdraws, the ability to collect (intelligence) and operate US action against threats will diminish. That is simply the truth. “

According to analysis of the sheet National Interest, with the US announcing its withdrawal, the United States finally conceded defeat in its longest war and surrendered to the Taliban rebels.

It is argued that the Taliban had the upper hand in this persistent war. They think the Taliban have achieved exactly what they want: the moment the last US troops leave Afghanistan, nothing will stop the Taliban from taking over the country, a goal that forces This has been fighting since being taken down in 2001.

This is a worrying development, especially when it is realized that recently the Afghan government has only controlled about 30% of the country’s territory (down sharply from 50% in 2018), while the The remaining land is still disputed and is likely to be appropriated.

That is a sign that the Afghan government is losing control of the country and the Taliban are reviving.

Therefore, it is quite easy to explain why Heydari and many of her friends are so confused about the way ahead.
