It is one (terrible) thing to skim over the moral failure of returning our allies to the reprisals and economic collapse that await them in Afghanistan. It is quite another to pretend that Afghanistan is not dealing with the same conditions now that preceded the single event that…
The de facto government is still abusing children in Afghanistan. And have been for years. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/259245…
The Taliban have long engaged in abuse of children. Maybe time to update this one from July 2022. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/259245…

🚨 In this shocking video, a Taliban member, claiming to own a second-hand shop, threatens a woman fully covered in a burqa. The Taliban’s problem is not clothing of women. They fear women. Because Afghan women are symbols of resistance. #AfghanWomen #StopGenderApartheid #UN
🚨 New arrests of women and girls in Kabul by the Taliban. Afghanistan has become place of fear for women. New footage shows young women being detained without clear reason. The crackdown is spreading, this is not security, it’s suppression. #Afghanistan #WomenRights #Freedom
Volunteers and advocates - here’s a little more on the constraints for the 5-minute miniseries about the cases that broke hearts and had people spending sleepless nights and liquidating retirement accounts over the past four years. If you want to participate, please let me know.
I’m collecting “the case(s) that broke my heart” accounts from volunteers and advocates. Let me know if you want to participate - it’ll mean recording for 5 minutes or less about the cases that kept you up at night and made it impossible to give up the fight. Time limit is the…
A warning and a reminder - in TB hands, no information (on Western or Afghan individuals) is safe. From my latest: washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-amer…
U.K. data leak that gave a “kill list” to Afghan allies’ enemies is a warning as de facto government’s reprisals continue - my latest @dcexaminer washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-amer…
More ICE arrests of Afghans with parole, more reprisals documented in Afghanistan, deportations ongoing, TPS fully revoked, and humanitarian parole soon set to expire for thousands. The number of stories crossing my desk is obscene.
Does anyone have leads on student or other visas that Afghans who were waiting on USRAP could pursue to find safety outside their country?

The evacuation scene is big, but small. And I've not heard it abuzz so loudly in years.

Afghan ally Tahmina Nasser worked with the U.S. for 14 years prior to being evacuated in August 2021. She joined me on Ep. 103 of The Afghanistan Project Podcast to talk about her struggles on arrival to find employment and success without help from resettlement agencies.…
President Trump just said he will “try to save” the Afghans stranded in UAE after serving alongside U.S. troops. We agree: it’s time to act. Thousands are still in danger—not just in UAE, but around the world. Our full statement 👇
Reporter: "Why don't the Taliban allow girls to get an education?" Girl: "Because the Taliban know very well that educated women will not raise their children to be Taliban!!"
A video from today’s mass arrests of women in Kabul. A woman yells at a Taliban fighter: “You took our schools. Our lives! What more do you want? How much worse can you make this hell for us?” Her voice echoes what millions of Afghan women are living.
David Collier, recent tourist to Afghanistan, talked about the Afghans he helped when confronted with signs of the abject poverty they experience in their homeland. From a thought-provoking episode of The Afghanistan Project Podcast: youtu.be/azcqphl01_M?si…
Amidst economic and refugee crises in Afghanistan, over a million returnees deported from Iran & Pakistan face a bleak future. With Temporary Protected Status and humanitarian parole coming to a close, will U.S. allies be sent back to poverty and reprisal? Latest @dcexaminer…
Before he became a U.S. citizen, “Khalid” was severely injured while interpreting for U.S. Marines in Helmand province. Now, after serving the U.S. as an interpreter, Army soldier, and DOD contractor, he waits to find out if his family at Camp As Sayliyah in Qatar will be…
Latest at @reason focuses on the stories of three individuals (including a U.S. veteran) impacted as around 1,500 Afghans at Camp As Sayliyah live under uncertainty, particularly with the changing outcome of the Pacito v Trump case. reason.com/2025/07/17/afg…
