The Silk Road Station is part of the broadcasting department of the Afghanistan Economic and Legal Studies Organization (AELSO) and represents Afghanistan’s first online educational and academic radio and video station. Established on September 1st, 2015, by a group of university professors, youth activists, civil society and freedom advocates, as well as national and international scholars, the station was made possible with support from institutions working for peace, prosperity, tolerance and freedom.
Since its establishment, this unique initiative has provided Afghan youth and individuals, both within Afghanistan and globally, particularly those advocating for liberty values, the opportunity to engage with one another through direct online communication. The station serves as a platform for exchanging views on liberty ideas such as market economy, rule of law, good governance, freedom of expression, Islamic principles, and values of a free society.
The station broadcasts in Afghanistan’s two national languages, Dari and Pashto, as well as in English, reaching audiences worldwide. All programs are educational and academic in nature, aligning with both Islamic law and Afghan traditions.
We are committed to promoting the values of liberty, free markets, human dignity, and the rule of law, with the goal of fostering peace, prosperity, and a culture of coexistence and tolerance in Afghanistan and beyond. This mission is carried out through the production and broadcast of educational radio and video programs.
