Several people have accused us of being Taliban supporters. Firstly, the claim is false. Secondly, the claim reveals some of causes of disunity and fasad in Afg. People who think of politics in set "camps" or "teams" often based around ethnicity cannot fathom honest criticism. /1
People like this son of a former Shamshatoo Gulbodeeni terrorist @BeghairatWatch spend 12 lowkey hours on Twitter with 10 fake accounts promoting Hizb Islami whilst living a petty insignificant existence in Canada.
Ahmad wears with pride the titles given to him by the shadibaza
A new young Pakistani coworker noticed my lock screen today & asked who it was. I took him to lunch & gave him a concise history/religious lesson lol. At the end of our convo he genuinely admitted to learning a lot, walking away with a different understanding of Afg & the Taliban
People like Ahmad spend 10 hours a day on Twitter constantly fuelling ethnic tension while they are living peacefully abroad. Ahmad is a Beghairat along with his small little circle of idiots.
Folks, what is stopping you from introducing yourselves to your colleagues, friends etc. as Tajik or Hazara and not Afghan? What are you waiting for? A superhero who will free you from Afghanism? You yourselves must be the change!
The Talib awoke in the middle of the night, screaming and shaking in fear.
"What's wrong? You're drenched in sweat!"
Unable to form full sentences, all he could say was, "Jazz...Jazz...Jazz...Jazz..."
Making up history as we please? Karzai has his flaws but he was one of the only ones pushing for including the Tbn in govt/accepting the surrender. Rumsfeld and Northern Alliance folks were opposed to any peace deal.
It was also @KarzaiH who denied Taliban a seat in the newly formed Gov. Taliban had sent their letter of surrender to him but he hid it until it was too late.
@arash_heravi I don't have anything against ANA soldiers, public servants, or even many politicians in the previous system. The issue is with particularly malicious actors like the people at the top of the army who stoked hate.
@ProudMu65041480 @arash_heravi @m_rahmanzai23 You can't bracket poor soldiers looking for some stable income, often part of poorly trained units that had insanely high mortality rates, with people like Col Rahmani. Big difference.
@arash_heravi Again, I think he could have responded better by explaining what he means by the shari'ah and the protections it affords women, or perhaps from the 67 constitution theoretically in effect. But the question, framing, and overall interview were garbage.
@arash_heravi It isn't honest journalism by any means. I also said he could be more lucid because there's a better way to express that these issues are culturally sensitive and our approach *is* different from the West. Denying abuse happens is wrong.
Notice the eerie music and different camera angles. She gets a normal eye level shot, while we can see his nostrils lol. VICE blurs the line between journalism and drama quite often tbh.
