I wrote for @AtlanticCouncil about 'Afghanistan’s future after the Taliban takeover: Civil war or disintegration?' The article explores the root-causes of dilemmas in #Afghanistan & explains why Afghanistan is in dire need of a new social contract. 1/2 atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/southasi…
This breaks my heart. An ongoing human rights outrage, happening in plain sight, where women and girls are being treated worse than domestic pets. More has to be done to help these women.
From an Afghan woman to Dear @jk_rowling , I am writing to you as an Afghan girl whose only crime is being born a woman in a land where womanhood is punished. Here, we are not allowed to speak loudly. Even our voices are considered threats. We are locked inside our homes,…
یک لندغر کولابی که به کوهسارانِ دلیر خویش می‌اندیشد به رودهای خروشانِ که از تنگه‌های پنجشیر برخاسته‌اند، به خونی که در رگ‌هایش جاری‌ست و هرگز زیرِ بارِ ناحقی نرفته است. اگر «لندغر» صدایش کنی یا «کولابی» هر دو را همچون تاج عزت در سر گرفته و احمد و خالد وار فریاد میزند: آزادی
"The lessons learnt from the 19th and 20th centuries are clear: neither Afghanistan nor Central Asia can afford to be used as pawns in imperial ambitions." A very good read by two amazing analysts @ZalNishat and @qadamzoda 👇👇
In a piece published today by @CambridgeMENAF’s Manara Magazine, @qadamzoda & I critically explore Moscow’s decision to recognise the Taliban challenges global norms risking legitimising jihadist networks. We call for pluralism, sovereignty, and inclusive governance in Central…
.@EjazMalikzada courageously challenged Germany’s hypocrisy, questioning its acceptance of Taliban diplomats despite claiming non recognition. He reminded Berlin that dealing with a terror group undermines the human rights values Germany claims to defend. Watch 👇
Around 90% of the Taliban leadership, including the Supreme Leader, Cabinet, governors, and commanders, come from southern Afghanistan, known as Greater Kandahar. It remains their main support base, deeply underdeveloped with low literacy and high maternal mortality rates.

CNN’s @IsobelYeung reports from Afghanistan. You can catch a glimpse of Taliban restrictions in this video, when someone tries to talk to her about the Taliban, they’re not allowed to continue. She also visits religious madrasas that are being replaced by modern schools. Part 1
Hard hitting journalism; this is how the Taliban have oppressed the people in Afghanistan.

شوهر اولش، که راننده تاکسی بود، به گفته‌ی ملالی در سال ۱۳۹۸ در انفجاری ناشی از ماین کنار جاده‌ای در مسیر راه کابل کشته شد. به دلیل نگرانی ملالی از شناسایی شدن، ترجیح داد که زمان و محل دقیق کشته شدن شوهر سابق‌اش را افشا نکند. rukhshana.com/the-life-of-a-…
سفیر آلمان در کانادا در نشستی در اتاوا در پاسخ به انتقادها از اقدامات و مواضع کشورش در قبال طالبان، تصریح کرد که برلین اداره طالبان را به رسمیت نمی‌شناسد. متیاس لوتنبرگ در پاسخ به پذیرش دیپلومات‌های طالبان از سوی کشورش، گفت برلین طالبان را به‌عنوان حکومت مشروع افغانستان نمی‌داند…
Mr. Lüttenberger, Since you deleted your tweet, I’ll rephrase my reply. These are not some random “officers”, the gov is inviting Taliban members -normalizing the presence of a terrorist group in Germany! @AuswaertigesAmt is clearly testing the waters. Shameful!

Today in Balochistan, a woman was surrounded by a group of men alone, holding only a Quran. She was seized and shot to death. Her only "crime" was choosing to marry the man she loved. That choice was enough to end her life in the name of so-called family honor. She was not armed.…
«هیچ سندی نشان نمیدهد که شهروندان افغانستانی تهدیدی برای امنیت، سیاست یا اقتصاد ایران باشند. با این حال، نگاه تحقیرآمیز به حضور پررنگ آنان ...، یادآور دیدگاه‌های تبعیض‌آمیز نژادی در غرب در برابر مهاجران رنگین پوست است.» مطلب خواندنی از آقای @DrMoradian1 sharghdaily.com/%D8%A8%D8%AE%D…
