Musicians have been tortured, shot, and have been stopped from producing any music at all. The Taliban have been destroying musical instruments and torturing local musicians in public," he said.He highlighted the atrocities being done on the Afghan people and asked the West to act against the perpetrators sitting across borders as they acted against Russian aggression in Ukraine.The event was attended by many delegates from the European Union and special representatives from the United Nations including ex-Afghan Parliamentarians and members of the diplomatic community.Darya's programme conveyed a very powerful message of peace just highlighting the importance of cultural diplomacy in today's era.The emotional faces of the Afghan Diaspora members during the concert especially during the patriotic songs reflected the emotions of millions of people who lost an entire country overnight.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
