More proof of our civilians being killed by Pakistan, but still waiting for proof of a single Talib ever targeted by them. Still waiting for a single condemnation from those who claim resistance.
If these airstrikes were in Panjshir or Badakhshan, would our “leaders" speak up? Or were their souls already sold when Pakistan killed hundreds of our civilians in Kabul during Ramadan, and hundreds more before then?
How can we claim to fight for a nation when we can’t even speak up for all its people? How can we claim to be free if we don’t even have freedom over our own tongues? And how is our morality any different from the Taliban’s if we make nothing of civilian lives, just as they never have?
Reform or perish.
گاه فکر میکنم این ملت با این همه تاریخ،
چگونه چنین در تاریکی فرو رفته؟
شب، تا دیروقت بیدار ماندم و به این اندیشیدم
که آیا روزی میرسد که عقل و علم بر این سرزمین چیره شود؟

“A woman whose mood improves with a book, a poem, a song or a cup of coffee is not defeated by anyone; even life loses with her.”
- Khalil Gibran
Khalil Gibran was a Lebanese-American writer, poet, and artist best known for his influential book The Prophet, published in 1923.
Born in Bsharri, present-day Lebanon, in 1883, Gibran immigrated to the United States with his family as a child and later spent much of his life in New York. His work explored themes of love, freedom, grief, spirituality, solitude, and the tension between the individual and society. Writing in both Arabic and English, he became one of the most internationally celebrated Arab writers of the 20th century.
Since 2023, there have been over 20 documented instances of police misusing Flock cameras to stalk romantic interests and rivals.
One Idaho officer tracked his wife's movements over 700 times and, to avoid suspicion, put the word "test" before each search.
An Illinois police chief used a neighboring district's Flock cameras 'hundreds of times' to track six people he knew personally. Three of the victims used to be romantically involved with him.

Literacy. If the oligarchs have their way, the children of the very rich will have human teachers, physical textbooks, handwritten assignments, phoneless schools. Everyone else will have chromebooks, malfunctioning AI tutors and screen addiction.

Who in Afghanistan cares about any of your nonsense?
What caused Afghanistan to fall?
When will this endless cycle of retaliation, extremes, point-scoring, selfish ambitions, one-upmanship and fueling of divisive discourse end?
Where are all the normal, rational, moderate, sincere and level-headed patriots?
Why are we obsessed with recycling past conflicts and reviving corrupt leaders?
That's the "who, what, when, where, why" of Afghanistan that needs to be solved. How can it get through your heads?
This is unfortunately not specific to Band-e-Amir.
Amr bil Maroof has investigators standing right outside Qargha Lake, Paghman Valley, and Shakardarah Dam (places I have personally experienced).
They search cars and do not allow any vehicles with women close to green spots or scenic places.
Even if you are visiting friends or family in Paghman and Shakardarah districts, they stop you and make you call them to confirm you are a guest. They leave no stone unturned to ensure not a single woman or girl can breathe the fresh air in these places.
Foreign women, however, are allowed and at times even provided security guards.
Why not extend the same honor and respect to the women of your own country?
I’ll never understand these policies. At times it just feels like they come from a place of deep hate for Afghan women in general.
I’ll never be able to wrap my head around IEA’s policies regarding Afghan women.
