Peshawar

Peshawar is a city in northwestern Pakistan that has been a hub for Afghan artists fleeing the Taliban's ban on music. However, a new policy of deportations by Pakistan threatens this community. Recently, deadly cross-border military clashes between Pakistan and Afghanistan have led to a trade war, affecting millions of people, including those in Peshawar's Afghan market. The city has also seen a shift in gold prices, with buyers turning to silver due to the rise in global gold prices. These events highlight the complexities of the region's politics and economy, making Peshawar a significant location to monitor.
