Noor Ahmed Islajar, the Taliban governor of Herat, says that the construction of the Kush Tapa canal has been the desire of the Afghan people since the time of Baba Adam, the first man and prophet in the Abrahamic traditions.
He also said that the Afghan media "has become independent" and instead of fake news, it publishes the news of the opening of projects like Ghoshtepe by Mullah Bardar.
