Returning Afghans rush for chance to work in Qatar under expanded deal
About 8,000 recently returned Afghans have rushed to apply for one of 1,800 chances to work in Qatar after the Gulf state expanded a deal with Kabul, Afghanistan's labour ministry told AFP on Thursday. More than four million Afghans have been deported or pressured to leave Iran and Pakistan since September 2023, according to the UN's International Organisation for Migration. Afghanistan is facing one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, the United Nations says. Afghans forced to leave neighbouring countries have returned to high unemployment rates and a fragile economy struggling to recover from four decades of conflict. Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs spokesman Samiullah Ibrahimi said the 8,000 applications had been received since Wednesday. He said the positions were "specifically for those who returned or were forced to leave Iran and Pakistan" in the past two years. The jobs ranged from management roles to engineering, hospitality and work as mechanics. They are an expansion of a deal announced in July to open 3,100 jobs for Afghans in Qatar, for which 15,500 applied in the hope of gaining work outside the country. Registration was open in Kabul, Herat, Kandahar and Nangarhar provinces, home to most of the country's major cities. Hopeful applicants had to provide proof they had returned to Afghanistan in the past two years, Ibrahimi said, and had to pay 100 Afghanis ($1.45) to register. Between 1.5 and 2.1 million Afghans came back this year alone, according to UN agencies, which warned the influx would exacerbate the country's endemic poverty. Afghanistan's unemployment rate of more than 13 percent affects nearly a quarter of young people aged 15 to 29, according to the World Bank. Those who do have work often support large, extended families on stretched salaries, with many Afghans relying on money sent from relatives abroad.

Javahir legacy: Crafting timeless jewellery in Dubai's Gold Park
In the year 2000, Javahir was launched in Dubai's prestigious Gold and Diamond Park. The inception of Javahir lies in the owners' own family interest in fine jewellery. Javahir was started by the late Nargis 'Najuma Begum' Khataw, with one more family member, in 1983. Rooted in the word Jawhara in Arabic and Jawahir in Farsi — signifying something cherished and lasting — Javahir offers a unique blend of traditional yet modern pieces for weddings and celebrations. 'Each piece we create is of very high standards of creativity and quality, keeping in mind the preferential taste of our individual customers.' Understanding what customers need is at the heart of Javahir's products. Being one of the first jewellers in the Gold and Diamond Park, Khataw has seen a consistent demand for fine jewellery. When Javahir first opened its doors to clients, Deira Gold Souk and Meena Bazaar were the bustling hubs of jewellery. But today, the jewellery industry has undergone a metamorphosis. Arabesque geometry, Mughal artistry and contemporary minimalism all find a home here, shaping a dynamic and diverse jewellery market — and this has led to a lot of competition in the field. Javahir prides itself on creating each piece as unique and handmade. A design at Javahir begins with a story or a single stone, and its natural contours and colour — hence the design revolves around the gem itself, rather than the other way around. 'I personally oversee every stage, from sketch to final setting, ensuring each piece holds true to inspiration.' Haider has seen a worldwide change in jewellery trends that has also impacted the demand for jewellery in the UAE. Historically, in the Middle East, jewellery served both as adornment and as a safeguard of wealth — but today, amongst the young, this concept is fast changing. Since the 2000s, diamond pieces have seen a dramatic rise as a symbol of status, beauty and romance. With the expansion and accessibility of the luxury market in the fashion-conscious, multicultural communities of the UAE, tastes have shifted somewhat — particularly among millennials, typically gravitating towards known brands. 'The luxury is now defined by recognition.' The UAE has a great blend of old and new, and its influence is seen across its fashion world. There is a growth in the demand for traditional vintage designs and, at the same time, people also express preferences for more modern designs. The UAE has always been a centre for well-crafted jewellery, which forms an integral part of fashion and style. The country is regularly visited by connoisseurs and collectors of jewellery, who look at the UAE as a great hub to find the choicest pieces by local and international jewellers. Traditionally, gold — especially in South Asian and Middle Eastern cultures — has always held cultural and symbolic importance. But now, women are more inclined towards buying diamonds. 'Diamonds tend to reflect a more contemporary, global aesthetic, while gold remains a cherished choice for traditional events and heirloom pieces.' Javahir's design philosophy stems from inspirations from vintage Art Deco and geometric forms, while retaining its timeless elegance and deep reverence for connection. 'We are navigating the intersection of tradition and modernity, crafting jewellery that not only honours timeless artistry but also embraces trend and taste. Jewellery connoisseurs and collectors in the UAE still prefer various modern and traditional pieces adorned with diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphires and pearls.' For Haider, each piece created by him holds a memory of his mother, who was the inspiration behind his creativity. Therefore, each piece of jewellery at Javahir is not merely an ornament but a call to his family memories back home. The UAE, with its economic prosperity and very fashion-conscious society, offers great opportunities to jewellers who produce the finest jewellery in the region. 'As someone who is continuing a family's legacy through Javahir, the UAE has given me the space to honour my heritage while also embracing new ideas, and raising my family that carries the value of hard work, integrity and community. What's remarkable about life here is the sheer diversity — not just of people, but of stories, customs and aspirations.'
