Afghanistan's Natural Resources
By: Litzy Cruz
In Afghanistan there are 14 different types of natural resources. Those natural resources are: natural gas, petroleum, coal, copper, chromite, talc, barites, sulfur, lead, zinc, iron ore, salt, precious, and last but not least semiprecious stones.
Afghans use natural gas in many pipes. They use petroleum in and for cars. In Kabul, an Afghan labor loads coal from one truck to another to trade in to others. Afghans use copper to make gongs, bells and sometimes even statues depending on what type. In Afghanistan chromite is a type of rock, almost like a mineral for them. Talc is a rock that you mash to make some type of powder. Barite is a common mineral and is in the colors of sometimes white, yellow, or sometimes even colorless. Sulfur is a pale colored crystal or mineral.
People in the United States discovered over $1 trillion of mineral in Afghanistan. This amount of mineral in Afghanistan is more than enough for the use in their economy and maybe even for the Afghan war itself. A “War on Terror” extended far too long for the sake of precious resources, like oil in Iraq, and now precious metals in Afghanistan. The people from the United States offered the people from Afghanistan over $30 billion dollars.
