#Facebook - Not many people use Twitter in Afghanistan. Afghans are mainly on Facebook. For 5 year's or so I run a Facebook page under the name "Tales of the Battlefields". I mainly posted pictures of different province's, told stories of our encounters with Taliban.
I had 100 friends or so. They were loyal friends, but unfortunately I never met them in person. We mainly talked about the social issues we were facing in Afghanistan and ways to resolve this never ending war. I posted pictures of our beautiful country but, never my own.
You see my friends, #Taliban will follow you to your door step if they knew who you are. Unlike the corrupt officials who drove around in bullet proof cars accompanied by bodyguards, we were on our own on the streets of Kabul when off duty.
