Who hit the hospital, and how many were killed? Diplomats have a responsibility to speak the truth.

What is an “incident,” exactly? Hundreds of people are dead and injured. Also, why no mention of who carried out such “incident” that raised your concern?

Families and friends searched for loved ones at a rehab center in Afghanistan's Kabul, two days after it was bombed by Pakistan in the deadliest incident in the months-long conflict https://t.co/wZU5ACqx03

Statement by the International Human Rights Foundation (IHRF)

The International Human Rights Foundation strongly condemns the reported bombardment by Pakistan of a rehabilitation hospital in Kabul, Afghanistan treating drug addicts, an attack that has reportedly killed a large number of vulnerable patients seeking medical care and recovery.

Facilities dedicated to treatment, rehabilitation, and humanitarian care must never become targets in any conflict or security operation. Patients in such institutions are among the most vulnerable members of society — individuals who came seeking help, dignity, and a chance to rebuild their lives.

We are deeply disturbed by reports that many of the victims were unarmed civilians undergoing treatment.

The International Human Rights Foundation calls for:

• An independent international investigation into this incident
• Accountability for those responsible
• Immediate measures to ensure the protection of medical and rehabilitation facilities
Attacks on medical institutions violate the most basic principles of international humanitarian law and human rights norms.
The world must not remain silent when places of healing are turned into sites of tragedy.

I was at the Omyd(hope) drug rehab center for the last ~4 hours. This facility accommodated over 1000 drug addicts for rehabilitation. I recorded this video at 6 AM as we found this & many more dead bodies buried under the rubble. These innocent souls were martyred by Pakistan.

In the past, when Afghanistan and Pakistan came to blows, regional mediators stepped in. But now, Iran, Qatar, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE are distracted by the US–Israel attacks on Iran, meaning the Afghanistan–Pakistan conflict could drag on far longer

In Kabul, Pakistani Embassy officials are reportedly selling visas on the black market for between 1,000 and 1,500 US dollars.

ودانت پتل، معاون سخنگوی وزارت خارجه ایالات متحده در یک نشست خبری ناوقت دیروز در واشنگتن گفته است که اگر به نفع امریکا باشد، با طالبان وارد تعامل خواهد شد.

او در این نشست گفته است: «تعامل با طالبان به ما این امکان را می‌دهد که مستقیماً با طالبان صحبت کنیم و این فرصتی است برای ما که فشار روی آزادی فوری و بدون قید‌وشرط شهروندان ایالات متحده از زندان طالبان را ادامه دهیم؛ به‌ویژه آنان که به ناحق بازداشت شده‌اند».

آقای پتل همچنین گفته است که از این فرصت برای صحبت مستقیم در مورد تعهدات طالبان درباره مبارزه با تروریزم و تامین حقوق‌بشر استفاده خواهد شد.

What a father of daughters thinks.

Life for women in Afghanistan is very challenging, because they are reliant on their father and brothers, but I want my daughters to work and earn for themselves, not to beg their brother. With @ImOmidSobhani on girls’ education.

Online education has been proposed as a way to continue educating Afghan teen girls and women who are being kept out of school due to Taliban restrictions, but in a country where Internet and electricity are unreliable, this is not a viable option. ⬇️

“Online #education and other temporary workarounds are just treatment of symptoms” indeed, the solution does not lay in replacing schools with madrassas or online schooling in #Afghanistan. Thank u @ImOmidSobhani @musaaziz & @MasrooR__ 4 highlighting the importance of education.
