14 years have passed since the massacre of July 5, 2009, in #Urumqi. It is imperative that we continue to shed light on #China’s brutal crackdown on #Uyghur rights, ensuring accountability for the atrocities committed.

The unjust detainment of Arzoo Ahmadi by Pakistani authorities is a stark reminder of the ongoing oppression faced by Afghan women. This isn't surprising given Pakistan's consistent support of forces that sow chaos in Afghanistan. The audacity to arrest a champion who has fled the Taliban's misogynistic rule is appalling. The Taliban can make grand statements to the world, yet they remain ominously silent when it comes to challenging their Pakistani masters. Their hypocrisy is glaring. When will they truly stand up for the rights of Afghans? We, as Afghan women, won't stand idle. #StandWithArzoo #FreeArzoo #FreeAfghanistan @SE_AfghanWGH @US4AfghanPeace @SR_Afghanistan @UNWomenWatch @unwomenafghan @UN @hrw @WAWHumanRights

To all Taliban supporters in the West: this isn't the 80s or 90s. Your thoughts and actions are being recorded and history won't forget how you lobbied and supported the oppression, death, and destruction in Afghanistan. Your days are numbered. Afghanistan will be free again and the tricolored flag will fly high once more. Enjoy your moments, because justice will prevail. #FreeAfghanistan

Sadly facts speaking louder than words"Pak-China friendship NOT higher than Himalayas" Again Completely indifferent to precarious state of Pak economy, China demanding immediate payment 1.5 billion$ to IPPs. China doesn't care if its CPEC debt trap pushes Pakistan to insolvency.

While Pakistan has struggled mightily to unlock $1B in IMF funds, Bangladesh quietly finalized a new $4.7B IMF package this week. Why did Bangladesh, which is experiencing much less severe economic stress than is Pakistan, get a larger deal inked in relatively rapid fashion? 🧵

Oh!!! So #Pashtun culture is the problem and not #Taliban for #IEAs extreme subjugation of #women.

Residents of the community complained that due to #ZeroCovid, they have not been allowed to go out & have been blocked in the building for the past 109 days

They could not go outside apartment as the ground floor door was locked by authorities. Many jumped from building #uruqmi
