5/5 Nu kvarstår endast humanitärt bistånd till Afghanistan. Men, som Sida skriver: "Det finns många behov i Afghanistan som inte primärt bör/kan hanteras med humanitärt bistånd, tex hälsovård och utbildning. Det humanitära biståndet ska i första hand tillgodose mer akuta behov"

[Andreas Stefansson @AndreasStefans2]

1/5 När talibanerna åter tog makten 2021 undrade vi om framstegen som kvinnor gjort under två decennier skulle vara förgäves. Men de afghanska kvinnorna visade tydligt att de ville fortsätta kämpa. De gav oss hopp.

4/5 Istället för att förbli vid deras sida när de utsätts för repression, vänder vi dem nu ryggen. När de kämpar mer än någonsin mot diskriminering, släpper vi nu taget. Vilken vårdslöshet. Vilket samvetslöst svek.

Nedmonteringen av USAID får direkta konsekvenser för människors liv. Nu måste EU träda fram och vara en stark röst för mänskliga rättigheter, fattigdomsbekämpning och global hälsa, skriver SAK och 16 andra organisationer. https://t.co/Knbg8FbVJU

I concur, @AJMatheou, emergency aid is not enough. Afghanistan needs investment in development and the international community must show continued solidarity with the Afghan people

[IFRC Asia Pacific @IFRCAsiaPacific]

"The humanitarian situation in Afghanistan is dire. Many areas remain in emergency phase, and aid isn’t enough. The country can't afford the international community to walk away."

📹 Hear more from our Regional Director, @AJMatheou, after visiting #Afghanistan this week.

Den parlamentariska utvärderingen av Sveriges engagemang i Afghanistan 2001-2021 ifrågasätter bärkraftigheten i de insatser som gjordes för jämställdhet.
För att insatserna inte ska vara förgäves måste Sverige fortsätta stötta kvinnorna, skriver SAK.

A Future Rewritten: How the Taliban’s Vice and Virtue Law Could Reshape Afghanistan.

Thank you @USIP for organizing this important event at the #Dohaforum2024.

Wonderful moderation, as always, by @bbclysedoucet, a long-time friend of Afghanistan and the Afghan people.

[Andreas Stefansson @AndreasStefans2]

thanks @smithkabul for a good check-list on what to expect and/or try to address with Syria, based on our learnings from Afghanistan

[Graeme Smith @smithkabul]

A brutal regime falls. But there’s a problem: the UN and several countries say the victorious rebels are terrorists. What to do? There’s no playbook for Islamist insurgents faced with the challenges of running a country. But there is a precedent, in Afghanistan. 1/

Thanks Excellency Special Envoy @fba_alhenzab

[فيصل بن عبدالله آل حنزاب @fba_alhenzab]

I was pleased to meet HE @AndreasStefans2, Secretary General of the Swedish committee for Afghanistan.
During the meeting we discussed topics of mutual interest and international efforts to achieve stability in Afghanistan.

[Andreas Stefansson @AndreasStefans2]

The obvious topic on most participants lips at #DohaForum today was the news we woke up to this morning of regime-change in Syria. Times they are a-changin'

Without a new generation of female medics, the critical shortage of female doctors, nurses, and midwives will worsen. This is a threat to the health and survival of countless women and children. Read SCA's statement urging the IEA to reconsider the ban: https://t.co/iPlEQRbhGp

[Svenska Afghanistankommittén SAK @SAK_Sweden]

Alarming news coming out of Afghanistan. Without more female health professionals being trained, the lives of countless women and children will be at risk. https://t.co/4qM1NZabzt

[Haroun Rahimi @harounrahimi]

Banning Afghan women from attending medical institutes—the only type of modern ed allowed for females post 6th grade—is nothing short of a systematic femicide AND is contrary to one of the primary goals of Sharia i.e. preserving life.

"The reluctance among predominately Western governments to engage with the Taliban should not come at the expense of the Afghan people."
