Senjetak (Sinjitak)
Senjetak is a village in Badghis Province, Afghanistan, located near Qala i Naw City, but officially under the administrative jurisdiction of the Muqur District.
Senjetak's inhabitants are farmers who keep flocks of sheep and herds of cows. The village has a spring called Seyah Kolab (سیه کلاب) ("Dark Spring"), which provides sufficient water to irrigate the surrounding fields and farms. Scenic mountains enclose the village on two sides while a road runs between these mountain ranges.
Village children are interested in their education and the government has built two schools, one for boys and the other for girls. In addition to government assistance, Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and other foreign organizations such as World Vision have contributed to local agricultural and recreational facilities. Every evening and especially on Fridays, many people come from the nearby city to relax and enjoy the fresh air of the village while it is also a popular spot for visitors from overseas to have picnics. Works carried out by the people of the village in conjunction with NGOs include a large garden with different kinds of fruit located in Chap Ghul (چپ غول) ("left hole or valley") and a mountain-based pistachio orchard on the property of local villager Moula Bick (مولابیک ), who intends to carry out many other useful projects to improve the welfare and interests of the people of Badghis.

Human habitation in Afghanistan dates back to the Middle Paleolithic era, and the country's strategic location along the historic Silk Road has led it to being described, picturesquely, as the ‘roundabout of the ancient world’. Popularly referred to as the graveyard of empires, the land has historically been home to various peoples and has witnessed numerous military campaigns, including those by the Persians, Alexander the Great, the Maurya Empire, Arab Muslims, the Mongols, the British, the Soviet Union, and most recently by a US-led coalition. Afghanistan also served as the source from which the Greco-Bactrians and the Mughals, amongst others, rose to form major empires. The various conquests and periods in both the Iranian and Indian cultural spheres made the area a center for Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and later Islam throughout history.
