The Hindu Kush Eagles Mountaineering Team in Ghor province successfully ascended the 3,350-meter Siyah Koh peak (Black Mountain Peak), located south of Firozkoh, the provincial capital. Jan Mohammad Haidari, the team leader, stated on Friday, January 3, that this sporting event was organized to support displaced families in the province.
He explained that this mountaineering program, conducted in coordination with the Department of Sports and the Mountaineering Federation of Ghor, aimed to aid refugees enduring extreme cold. The team also called on national and international aid organizations to address the dire conditions of displaced people in Ghor.
The Hindu Kush Eagles have repeatedly scaled the highest peaks across other provinces in Afghanistan. Siyah Koh peaks are among the tallest in Ghor, showcasing the team’s commitment to mountaineering excellence. Afghanistan, renowned for its towering mountains, is home to numerous mountaineering teams. These groups, composed of passionate youth, have formed across different provinces to explore and conquer the country’s challenging terrain.
The Hindu Kush Eagles team in Ghor has been actively showcasing their talent through various events and exhibitions. Jan Mohammad Haidari, the team leader, is a well-known and accomplished athlete in Afghanistan.
Furthermore, Afghan athletes face immense challenges due to ongoing instability and lack of resources. Mountaineering teams like the Hindu Kush Eagles struggle to sustain their activities, often relying on personal dedication and minimal support.
The plight of athletes is further aggravated by the limited access to facilities and opportunities. With proper support and funding, these teams could serve as symbols of hope and resilience for a country in need of inspiration. Addressing these challenges would not only uplift Afghanistan sports but also empower youth through meaningful engagement.
