KUNDUZ Cheap Corey Davis Jersey , Afghanistan, July 7 (Xinhua) -- Taliban militants have intensified activities since late last month to overrun Kunduz, the strategically important city in northern Afghanistan.

The Taliban had twice briefly captured Kunduz city, capital of the northern Kunduz province located 250 km north of Kabul, in 2015 and 2016 respectively.

This latest development has again caused concerns among Kunduz residents about the fragile security situation in their homeland.

"It is about one week that the Taliban fighters have taken positions in several parts around the Kunduz city and the status quo has caused concerns among the residents," said resident Rahmatullah.

Expressing concerns over the fragile security situation Cheap Delanie Walker Jersey , the worrying man warned that any negligence by security organs would enable the armed oppositions to storm the besieged city.

Taliban militants, according to locals and officials, have sped up activities to take control of the roads connecting Kunduz to the neighboring Baghlan province to tighten noose around Kunduz, a key city in the northern region of Afghanistan.

The armed militants established isolated checkpoints in Madrasa and Omarkhil villages a few days ago and frisked the cars entering Kunduz city, locals said.

Expressing concerns over the delicate situation, the head of Kunduz Provincial Council Cheap DeMarco Murray Jersey , Amrudin Wali, has warned that continued status quo and government's inability to evict militants from around Kunduz city would further deteriorate the security situation.

However, security officials said Friday that the road linking Kunduz to the neighboring Baghlan province was reopened and the checkpoints set up by armed militants had been beaten back.

"Taliban rebels have fled away after suffering huge casualties and Ali Abad road linking Kunduz to Baghlan province is open for traffic today," an army spokesman in Kunduz province, Nazar Mohammad Ghiasi, told reporters here.

He also added that the security forces have begun house-to-house search since early morning to nab any militants hidden among villagers.

Confirming the report Cheap Marcus Mariota Jersey , police spokesman Mahfozullah Akbari also said that the road linking Kunduz to Baghlan province has been reopened.

Taliban militants who are in control of parts of the troubled Kunduz province are yet to make comments on the situation.

CHANGCHUN, Feb. 7 (Xinhua) -- Last month was extremely lucrativefor farmer Huo Liang. With the Spring Festival gift giving seasonin full swing, his online millet shop witnessed its top yearlysales.

Thousands of farmers like Huo in Tongyu, in the largelyagricultural province of Jilin, are using online stores to selltheir crops as the government seeks to tackle poverty in thecountryside.

Tongyu has a large number of impoverished people. Though it hasbountiful harvests of millet Wholesale Tennessee Titans Jerseys , mung bean and sunflower, the cropsgrown in the region are known for their high quality.

For Huo, who has been farmer for most of his life, learning therole of an online businessman is no easy task. At 52 years old, hehad to learn everything from scratch about the Internet.

When he first started out, he would forget to include basicthings such as the courier receipt number Wholesale Titans Jerseys , making it impossible forbuyers to follow the whereabouts of ordered parcels.

Pricing his millet appropriately for the Internet was alsodifficult, as fierce competition means products must fight forattention with discounts. Huo was again baffled.

Initially, he sold his millet for 15 yuan (2.28 U.S. dollars)every 500 grams. But buyers argued that his price was even higherthan those in supermarkets.

Huo insists on the quality of his product. "The problem withonline shopping is customers cannot touch and taste the milletthemselves until they buy and receive the products," he said.

To better communicate with online buyers, he replaced hisoutdated phone with a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 for 2,000 yuan Cheap Tennessee Titans Jerseys , a largeexpense for him.

"With this smart phone, I can talk to potential buyers wheneverI want to, instead of chatting with them via a computer," Huosaid.

The first two months' business was slow. Huo remained patient.Gradually more customers were referred to his shop and people beganmaking repeat orders.

Though his online shop only came into operation a year ago, hesaid it has helped him make more than 1,000 yuan extra everymonth.

Yang Xiaofeng Cheap Titans Jerseys , another local farmer, also made a fortune throughe-commerce. Thanks to targeted marketing and better packaging, hesuccessfully sold more than 5,000 kilograms of sorghum rice on theInternet.

While many in affluent coastal areas are getting more wealth byselling products ranging from electronics to socks on the Internet,e-commerce presents a very different picture in rural areas.

The government in Tongyu aims to lift more of its 100,000 poorout of poverty Cheap Derrick Morgan Jersey , by utilizing the Internet. Aside from setting up aspecial office for e-commerce assistance, the government alsoinvited e-commerce consultants and held seminars to tutorinterested farmers.

It hopes to decrease its impoverished population by 25,000annually, mainly through such support measures in e-commerce, thelocal government said.

Its success will also help China realize its goal to lift 70million of people in rural areas out of poverty (measured by thepoverty line of 2,300 yuan of annual income) by 2020.<. Cheap Jerseys   Cheap Jerseys China   Cheap Jerseys From China   Cheap Soccer Jerseys   Cheap Soccer Jerseys From China   Cheap NHL Replica Jerseys   Cheap Football Jerseys   Cheap MLB Jerseys Online   Wholesale Jerseys From China   Wholesale Basketball Jerseys
