Land grabbing & demographic engineering continue in North🇦🇫. In Khwaja Bahauddin,Takhar, indigenous Uzbek communities are being driven from their lands to make way for Pashtun Kuchi settlers. Taliban forces have beaten local residents, including women & detained 100 local elders.
هیچ قدرتی ماندگارتر از اراده مردمی نیست که برای کرامت، آزادی و آیندهای بهتر ایستادگی میکنند. قلبم با مردم بدخشان است، برای مبارزین که برای امنیت، عدالت و زندگی در صلح می رزمند.

These are the faces of former Afghan National Defense and Security Forces personnel who were killed after the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan.
In the past three months alone, we have documented more than 184 former soldiers killed, many subjected to horrific torture. The danger has only grown as former soldiers are deported back to Afghanistan, particularly from Iran and Türkiye.
We refuse to forget them. We will continue to document every crime, preserve every name, and pursue justice for every victim. Those responsible for murder, torture, and other abuses must be held accountable under the law. No regime can secure its future through fear and brutality.
To those who still sympathize with the Taliban, look at these faces and ask yourself: what if this were your father, your mother, your brother, your sister, your son, or your daughter?
These are not statistics. They were Afghans. They were our soldiers. They are our brothers and sisters. We will remember them, we will honor them, and we will never stop pursuing justice.
“The international context is in Erdoğan’s favor, and he is playing his cards well. If you look at the new world we are in, there are conflicts in Ukraine, Iran, the Caucasus, North Africa, and Turkey sits at the center of all that," @gonultol tells @thedispatch. https://t.co/odHhXKnIb8

I am deeply alarmed that for a 3rd consecutive day scores of women in #Herat continue to be arbitrarily arrested & detained for violating the Taliban’s dress code. It is illegal and unacceptable. The arrests must stop and the women must be released immediately. #Afghanistan
What’s happening in Herat?
- The governor, a hardliner, reportedly decided in last week’s government meeting to round up women in the city who do not fully cover their faces.
- On Saturday, the PVPV arrested up to 35 women at three locations, including the Lilami area, a busy bazaar known for its second-hand clothing shops and carts, in downtown Herat.
- The women were later released after their male family members were summoned and warned.
- Today, a few dozen men and women from the Hazara neighborhood of Jebrail in western Herat took to the streets in protest. The Taliban opened fire on the protesters, reportedly killing a child and wounding several others.
- There is talk of wider protests in the coming days, including after Friday prayers.
Powerful last words from @Metra_Mehran to the #UNSC: the situation in #Afghanistan is "a test of whether the principles recited in chambers like this truly mean anything in practice."

Addressing the UNSC meeting, Georgette Gagnon, UNAMA's acting chief, said that recent reports of the detention of about 30 women in Herat for allegedly violating the Taliban's dress code reflect growing restrictions on women's rights in Afghanistan.
She said recent decrees and actions are increasingly at odds with the country's international human rights obligations.
One cannot separate what’s happening inside Turkey from what’s happening globally. What better moment for Erdogan to jail his top rivals and effectively shut down the country’s most popular party than when the US president is praising him and the so-called democratic world is busy celebrating Turkish drones and defense exports?
Zakia Ahmad “River”, an Australia-based refugee, has become the first Afghan woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest, according to her expedition organizers.
Ahmad reached the 8,849-meter peak at 7:20 a.m. local time on May 21.

نبرد پانیپت آغاز امپراتوریی بود که سرنوشت هند را دگرگون کرد.بابریها همانگونه که کابل را بهکانون علم،فرهنگ،هنر و معماری بدل کردند، هند را نیز به یکی از اقتصادهای برتر آن زمان رساندند و با رونق معماری،شهرسازی،شکوفایی هنر و ادبیات و ساخت آبدات باشکوه میراثی ماندگار برجا گذاشتند.
Thank you, #Türkiye, for completing the Herat Grand Mosque Park project and for your continued commitment to preserving Afghanistan’s historical and cultural heritage.
I’ve visited the park several times and always felt how urgently it needed proper preservation. It’s genuinely uplifting to see that work now completed.
This restoration not only provides a clean and welcoming public space, but also enhances the historic mosque precinct, strengthens broader heritage‑preservation efforts, and deepens the long-standing cultural cooperation between Afghanistan and Türkiye.
Hopefully, an early return to governance legitimacy in our country will help restore our official bilateral relationships and ensure that all members of the public — including women and girls — can enjoy full access to this beautiful park.
