I’m Afghan & Afghanistan is my Pride❤️

One thing that was noticeable in such big event is that no-one knew or named us as Tajik, Pashtun, Hazara BUT, AFGHAN ! Our group’s unity and strength was seen under one name, one identity and one flag! 🇦🇫

[Wazhma Sayel 🇦🇫 @Sayel_D]

Representing #Afghanistan in EU Parliament is an honor especially now when Afghan women have faced the most “sweeping rollbacks of their rights since retaking power in 2021, part of a series of escalating moves part of a series of escalating moves to enforce the group's heterodox conservatism. Girls and women are losing access to education, employment and public spaces as well as other basic freedoms.”
When we talk about freedom it means, freedom of choosing ones life, and decision making that every humankind is given the right by birth.

One thing that was noticeable in such big event is that no-one knew or named us as Tajik, Pashtun, Hazara BUT, AFGHAN ! Our group’s unity and strength was seen under one name, one identity and one flag! 🇦🇫
And this is the strongest message I can give today to all Afghans- you will not be recognized based on your ethnicity, but based on your national identity. The soon we know the importance our national identity the sooner we lead our way forward.

P.S. We also knew the importance of our flag so this picture is to all Afghans who wanted to see Afghan flag❤️🇦🇫❤️

Afghan–Australian ties have long been exemplary. Current news & happenings should not affect it, Great work by Khalid Amiri with this explainer—@dfat and @AusMissionAF should be amplifying this and sharing more content like it. @JulianHillMP @SenatorWong, @SBSNews

This isn’t just history… this is OUR story 🇦🇫❤️🇦🇺

The relationship between #Afghanistan & #Australia is more than diplomatic—it’s deeply human.

From Afghan cameleers in the 1800s to shared sacrifice in times of conflict.

We didn’t just arrive — we contributed, endured, and rose.

Afghans built systems that outlived empires.

Sher Shah Suri, an Afghan Pashtun ruler, didn’t just mint a coin… he created the rupiya. That system still shapes currencies in India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.

Afghan systems shaped the region.

@KhalidAmiri01 @Lisa_Singh @AIinstitute Khalid Amiri, you have a deep knowledge of Indo Pak history & have worked as a journalist in Afghanistan, I think you would be a great team add for @Lisa_Singh at Australia India Institute.

@KhalidAmiri01 Wow - saw it in Tiktok, amazing celebrations 🎉

[Farahnaz Forotan @FForotan]

I was invited to these meetings from the start but chose not to join. Beyond any critique of the event, your conduct, as the child of a politician who fought for freedom and equality, stands against free expression and feels suppressive. @KoofiShuhra

Ich bin überwältigt und zutiefst dankbar.

Bei den Kommunalwahlen in Frankfurt bin ich für Bündnis 90/Die Grünen auf Listenplatz 21 angetreten – und dank eurer unglaublichen Unterstützung auf Platz 14 vorgerückt. Damit habe ich mich um sieben Plätze verbessert und über 53.000 Stimmen erhalten.

Das ist nicht mein persönlicher Erfolg. Das ist unser gemeinsamer Erfolg.

Ich möchte mich von Herzen bei allen bedanken:
Bei denen, die mich im Haustürwahlkampf begleitet haben.
Bei denen, die mich in den sozialen Medien unterstützt haben.
Bei denen, die mir Mut gemacht haben, als es schwer wurde und mir manchmal die Kraft gefehlt hat.
Bei denen, die für mich gelaufen sind, organisiert haben, mitgedacht haben.
Und bei allen, die am Wahltag zur Urne gegangen sind und mir ihr Vertrauen geschenkt haben.

Ohne euch wäre das nicht möglich gewesen.

Mein Sieg ist euer Sieg.

Ich hoffe, dass Gott mir die Kraft und die Aufrichtigkeit gibt, dieser Verantwortung gerecht zu werden und weiter für unsere gemeinsamen Werte zu arbeiten.

Danke für euer Vertrauen.

ګرانو هېوادوالو او د فرانکفورت ښار درنو اوسېدونکو، اسلام علیکم!

د الله ج په نصرت او ستاسو په بې سارې ملاتړ، نن زموږ د میاشتو میاشتو منډو ترړو او ګډو هڅو نتیجه رابره شوه او د فرانکفورت ښاروالۍ شورا په ټاکنو کې مو لویه بریا خپله کړه.

دا زما لپاره د ��ېر ویاړ ځای دی چې اعلان وکړم؛ ستاسو د پراخ باور په پایله کې مې ۵۳،۰۰۰ (۵۳ زره) مستقیمې رایې ترلاسه کړې او د شورا غړیتوب مې وګټلو. لومړی د لوی خدای ج شکر ادا کوم او بیا له هغو ټولو خوږو ملګرو، مشرانو او ځوانانو څخه نړۍ مننه کوم چې تر رای صندوقونو پورې لاړل او زما پر نوم یې خپلې رایې وکارولې.

که څه هم نن زموږ زړونه د هېواد په ځینو سیمو کې د پاکستان د وروستیو بریدونو له امله د خپلو هېوادوالو په غم کې ویرجن دي، خو په داسې یو سخت او غمجن حالت کې مې وغوښتل دا د بریا زېری درسره شریک کړم ترڅو زموږ د ولس د سرلوړۍ او همت یوه نښه وي.

زه باور لرم چې زما دا بریا د ټول ستر افغانستان ��ریا ده. له الله ج څخه توفی�� غواړم چې د دې امانت حق په سمه توګه ادا کړم او وکولی شم په پوره ایمانداري سره د خپلو خلکو او ټولنې خدمت وکړم.

په درنښت،
هوسۍ ظریف اندړ
د فرانکفورت ښاروالۍ شورا منتخبه غړې

کیا مریم نوبز کی سپ��رٹر نجیبہ فیض کو سرعام شراب پینے پر گرفتاری ہوگی کیا پاکستان میں شراب پینے پر سزا ہے گرفتاری تو دیکھتے اب پولیس کیا کرتی ہے؟

[Khalid Amiri @KhalidAmiri01]

Honoured to speak alongside inspiring community leaders today.

Every time I step up to the microphone, I’m reminded that leadership isn’t about position — it’s about responsibility. It’s about using our voices to represent our communities, advocate for those unheard, and build bridges across cultures.

[YAL @ShirYalShamshir]

Yalda Hakim stands as a powerful symbol of resilience, intelligence, and dignity. Born in Kabul, Afghanistan, and raised in Australia after arriving as a child refugee, she transformed hardship into strength and displacement into purpose. Her journey reflects courage in its purest form.

From the streets of Kabul to the global stage of international journalism, she has carried the voice of her people with grace and determination. Through her work with major networks such as the BBC and Sky News, she has not only informed the world but also elevated the stories of those too often unheard. She represents Afghan strength, Afghan intellect, and Afghan perseverance.

To call her a Queen of Afghanistan is not about royalty in title, but royalty in character. She leads with knowledge, speaks with authority, and stands with composure in the face of global events. She embodies the power of Afghan women who refuse to be defined by conflict, but instead define themselves through excellence.

Her life is a reminder that leadership is not always political. Sometimes it is moral. Sometimes it is intellectual. Sometimes it is the quiet but firm act of standing in truth.

Born in Kabul.
Raised in Australia.
Australian by nationality.
Afghan by heritage.

Yet beyond all labels, she is a leader, a voice, and an inspiration.

Thank you for being a voice for everyone Yalda Jan! Love from the occupied Country of Baluchistan.

@mahbobshahmahbo @RahmanBunairee @afintlpashto ته هم دې شرمیدلی رسنۍ سره کار کوی؟ افسوس د یو څو ډالرو په خاطر خپل ملي دریځ او پښتونولي پلورۍ.

کولاب انټرنشل او ده دې په کار کوونکو دې لعنت وي.

[Gul Rukhsar @AfghanMermon]

@KhalidAmiri01 Wow - that’s splendid 😍

[Khalid Amiri @KhalidAmiri01]

A proud moment seeing Afghans from all ethnicities come together to celebrate our shared culture and identity 🇦🇫❤️

This year’s Afghan Culture Day in Melbourne was a huge success—honouring the legacy of Afghan cameleers with camel rides, alongside our food, music, and vibrant traditions.

We were honoured to hear from the Hon. @JulianHillMP and the Hon. Gabrielle Williams MP.

A powerful reminder of Australia and Victoria’s rich multicultural fabric, where diversity strengthens our communities.

[Gul Rukhsar @AfghanMermon]

@KhalidAmiri01 Thank you Khalid Amiri and entire team for putting up such a great event.
