This week’s show focuses on a murder case in Police District 10. Seyer, a taxi driver in Kabul, was kidnapped by a group of armed men and killed. Police arrested a suspicious person with a strong motive, but released him. Instead, the victim’s brother was arrested and jailed. The family says it has been victimized twice – and wants answers.

With snow and falling temperatures, it’s an especially hard time for the poor with the World Food Programme (WFP) and other UN agencies, funds and programmes assisting some 3.8 million vulnerable people.

At an internally displaced site in Kabul, Afghans have differing opinions of the snow.

“We are suffering from the cold weather in Kabul, but we are very happy for the recent snowfall which will help farmers in their cultivation and bring many benefits.

The second half of the programme takes listeners to the northeastern province of Kunduz where special literacy courses supported by the UN are helping young people and their families.

"I have learned a lot from this course and now can read the boards and also help my children with their studies,” said one 40-year-old widow.
