Co-Director of the Afghanistan Analysts Network. I mainly tweet on Afghanistan, occasionally on wildlife and, when I'm lucky, on Afghan birds and flowers.

Barely a month ago this man was imprisoned for the violent rape of a Sikh woman believing that she was a Muslim. No Douglas Murray articles in the Spectator, no Baroness Fox speech in the Lords. No riots. Two tier? Too right https://t.co/8wABWe3bww

Very much looking forward to watching this

Thinking about the environment is not just about the environment -- it's about agriculture, public health, migration, urban development and regional cooperation. Our new dossier highlights how environmental pressures affect every part of life in #Afghanistan. #WorldEnvironmentDay https://t.co/V5HiCFxroD

[AAN Afghanistan @AANafgh]

Afghanistan's future will be shaped not only by politics and economics, but by water.
Our new dossier brings together AAN reports on drought, floods, urban water shortages, pollution, biodiversity and climate diplomacy — and what they mean for the country's future. #WorldEnvironmentDay https://t.co/V5HiCFxroD

[Kate Clark @KateClark66]

It's World Environment Day and @AANafgh has published a dossier of reports on the Afghan environment: the climate crisis, water shortages, pollution, drought, but also wildlife - good to remember the beauty as well as the crises.

On #WorldEnvironmentDay, we're publishing a new dossier bringing together AAN's reporting on one of Afghanistan's defining challenges: the environment, where water, climate and survival are inseparable. #Afghanistan

"Environmental crisis cannot be viewed as a distinct sectoral issue." In Afghanistan, water and climate are intertwined with food security, livelihoods, health and development.
Our new dossier for #WorldEnvironmentDay, brings together AAN's reporting on this important issue. #Afghanistan https://t.co/V5HiCFxroD

a must-read & save: @AANafgh 's new dossier on what the #ClimateCrisis means for #Afghanistan - on #WorldEnvironmentDay👇

[UN Special Rapporteur Richard Bennett @SR_Afghanistan]

Congratulations to Samira Nawa, a woman of Afghan heritage on her appointment as Denmark’s Minister of Climate, Energy & Utilities showing the importance of women's equal participation in public life & benefits societies gain from inclusive leadership. An inspiration for others!

@steverichards14 Misconduct in public office?

When comfort fades, survival takes precedence. Mujib shares his family's struggles in Afghanistan, redefining "affordable" amidst soaring costs and hard choices. Every meal, every school decision weighs heavy as they navigate this new reality. #Afghanistan https://t.co/Yb3GV3kOIy

[AAN Afghanistan @AANafgh]

Markets in Kabul are still full of goods. But many families must calculate every purchase. Not because products have disappeared. Because affordability has. #Afghanistan

[Chris Doyle @Doylech]

Direct incitement to genocide - the deliberate pre-planned attempt to wipe out a people in whole or in part

[Rohullah @rsurush]

Mujib lost his govt job after the #IslamicEmirate’s return. Prices kept rising. His family now survives on delayed purchases, debt & doing without. This is the hidden cost of economic collapse. #Afghanistan

Another important read by @AANafgh to better understand the situation in #Afghanistan

[AAN Afghanistan @AANafgh]

🧵1/
"Affordable" doesn't mean what it used to.
For one father in Kabul, it no longer means something his family can afford, it means something they can still manage to buy after sacrificing something else. 👇

Clinics have closed. Transport is costly. Female health workers are scarce.
But some services are still holding the line. @KateClark66 & Fabrizio Foschini take a look how @NACAfghanistan continues to provide healthcare and train women healthworkers.

What did Ben Gvir do that was so wrong? I thought it was OK for him to mock blindfolded prisoners who are lying or kneeling in the floor. I’ve seen film of him doing it before.

[Bill Law بيل لو @BillLaw49]

Why not do as Ms Meloni has done and immediately summon the Israeli ambassador @YvetteCooperMP ?
