I’ll post about 🇦🇫 a 1000 times. It hurts seeing so many in the diaspora speak out for other conflicts. How often have you marched for others? I’m criticizing that, when you stay silent on Pakistans attacks on Afghan civilians. Is it not mainstream enough, not enough clicks?
Dismayed by fresh reports of #Pakistan airstrikes in #Afghanistan and resulting civilian casualties. My condolences. I urge parties to de-escalate, exercise maximum restraint & respect international law, including the protection of civilians and civilian objects such as hospitals

URGENT: Civilian Casualty Report – Behsud District, Afghanistan
The International Human Rights Foundation (IHRF) is deeply alarmed by verified reports of a devastating airstrike in Behsud District, Afghanistan.
According to confirmed local sources, a Pakistani military strike targeted a civilian home, resulting in the massacre of at least 16 members of a single family. The victims—men, women, and children—range in age from a 1-year-old infant to an 80-year-old elder.
Two children miraculously survived the attack, and at least one other individual was injured. This represents not just a loss of life, but the complete annihilation of a family lineage.
The Victims:
We publish the names of the deceased to honor their memory and to reject any attempts to erase their humanity. They are not numbers; they are human beings.

IHRF Condemns this Attack.
Attacks targeting civilians are a grave violation of International Humanitarian Law. There can be no justification for the killing of an entire household, including sleeping infants.
We call for:
· An immediate, independent, and transparent international investigation into this airstrike.
· Accountability for those who ordered and executed this attack.
· Unimpeded humanitarian access to the affected families in Behsud.
We stand in solidarity with the people of Afghanistan and demand that the rights and lives of civilians be respected.

Remembering the 'Frontier Gandhi' Abdul Ghaffar Khan on his death anniversary.
A towering symbol of nonviolence, courage, and sacrifice, he devoted his life to India’s freedom struggle, peace, and social reform through steadfast Gandhian principles.
Another blast in Kabul today. 7 lives lost in a hotel attack, while much of the world looks away. 20 wounded.
Reduced media coverage has not meant reduced violence.
Under Taliban rule, Afghanistan is still not secure, and civilians continue to pay the price. #kabul#afghanistan
