Before it spreads in the whole country, Afghan GOV should also shut down educational institutions, sporting events, mass gatherings, apply travel restrictions and close borders with Iran and Pakistan.. #Covid_19 storm ..
@afshinrattansi I like your analysis and comments on day to day geopolitics, but you are not writing and commenting on the recent Afghanistan- Pakistan conflict, how come?
Norway strongly regrets casualties at a drug-rehabilitation center in Kabul. Parties must respect proportionality and precaution. Medical facilities and patients should never be bombed. We urge restraint and dialogue to end hostilities and address cross-border security concerns
We are now witnessing an extremely serious situation rapidly unfolding in the Middle East.
I call again on all parties to respect international law, protect civilians and seek diplomatic solutions. https://t.co/YQHjDcIrMz
I welcome the entry into force of the ceasefire in Gaza and the withdrawal of Israeli forces to agreed areas. It is time for hostages and prisoners to be released and for aid to flow into Gaza.
If the agreement holds, this is the beginning of the end of a catastrophic war.
