Pak afghan Trade Freedom in trade and travel is expected to bring a number of benefits for both Pakistan and Afghanistan. It can also promote mutual trust between the two nations with common culture. However the Pak-Afghan border has been infamous for illegal trafficking for several decades. In the context of the prevailing terrorist violence in both the countries trade related mobility is as prone to be misused or victimized at the hands of the organized terrorists occupying the areas close to the Pak-Afghan border. It is therefore crucial for both the governments to take strict security measures for all the trade transactions that cross the border. Moroccan New Year Eve Unlike all the capital cities of the world that celebrate the coming of the New Year. There is no such public celebration in Morocco because of cultural and economic reasons. Moroccans only celebrate some religious and national festivities and also because the majority of Moroccans are poor the last thing they think about is such celebration, they have much more interesting things to think about. However, there are some people who celebrate the coming of the New Year for e.g. Some families make family reunions and have dinner together and exchange gifts whereas others go to the night clubs to dance and drink of the whole night. Then there is another section of Moroccan society that is rich people with European life styles and celebrated just like Europeans in case they celebrated in Morocco and didn’t travel to Paris or London or any other famous city. Generally, most of the Moroccans do not celebrate New Year and according to them the best about this is the holiday. They think it’s a good chance to relax and take rest before they begin to spend another long New Year in their lives. Jordanian New Year Eve With every New Years Eve Jordanians make plans on how to spend their special evening. Choices however are not too many since Jordan is an Islamic country that holds no public celebration for the end of Gregorian years. So just like every year there are those who can afford to celebrate it in hotels and other expensive places while others prefer to celebrate it by merely cruising down the streets in their cars to watch whether there are any pedestrian activities or gather in houses with families and friends. However this year might be different as the general population might not be in any mood to celebrate knowing that their brothers in Gaza are getting brutally not forgetting the fact that more than 40% of the Jordanian citizens are of Palestinian origin. http://www.instablogs.com/
