Today I learned that the fascist barbarians holding #Afghans hostage, supported by fascists in Western capitals, beat up my mother and sisters. The fight for the republic has began & there won’t be any mercy show to anyone, even d so called Afghans supporting them!

[Sami Sadat @SayedSamiSadat]

These are the faces of former Afghan National Defense and Security Forces personnel who were killed after the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan.

In the past three months alone, we have documented more than 184 former soldiers killed, many subjected to horrific torture. The danger has only grown as former soldiers are deported back to Afghanistan, particularly from Iran and Türkiye.

We refuse to forget them. We will continue to document every crime, preserve every name, and pursue justice for every victim. Those responsible for murder, torture, and other abuses must be held accountable under the law. No regime can secure its future through fear and brutality.

To those who still sympathize with the Taliban, look at these faces and ask yourself: what if this were your father, your mother, your brother, your sister, your son, or your daughter?

These are not statistics. They were Afghans. They were our soldiers. They are our brothers and sisters. We will remember them, we will honor them, and we will never stop pursuing justice.

آیا آن دیدار می‌توانست مسیر دیگری در روابط افغانستان و پاکستان ایجاد نماید؟

پنجشنبه ۱۱/۰۸/۲۰۰۵ (بیست و یک سال قبل )
ارگ : در حالی که دکتر زلمی رسول مشاور امنیت ملی رئیس‌جمهور و وزیر داخله حاضر بودند، حامد کرزی ر��یس‌جمهور قصه ذیل را در ارتبا�� به پاکستان برای ما بیان نمود.
هنوز طالبان در قندهار بودند و من در ارزگان آمده بودم. برادرم برایم از شهر کویته پاکستان زیاد تماس می‌گرفت و پیامش این بود که پاکستانی‌ها می‌خواهند یک‌بار با خودت به هر صورتی که است ملاقات نمایند. برادرم برایم گفت که ما در کشورشان هستیم، یک‌بار حداقل در تلفن با آنها حرف بزنید.
روز بعد یک نفر در تلفن ماهواره‌ای برایم زنگ زد. من آن وقت یک آدم غیرزیرک را موظف در تلفن ساخته بودم. او برایم گفت که یک نفر به نام برگدیر از پاکستان در تلفن است. من همرایش حرف زدم. زیاد تقاضا داشت که همراهشان ببینم. من گفتم که مشکل است، من رسیده نمی‌توانم. گفت: ما حاضریم یک کاری بکنیم. من قبول نکردم. هدف‌شان ممکن این بود که می‌خواستند هلیکوپتر بفرستند. بعداً برایم گفتند که ما حاضریم برایت در سرحد هلیکوپتر روان کنیم و تا سرحد از ��مریکایی‌ها کمک بخواهید. به هر صورت من این کار را نکردم.

تا اینکه طالبان سقوط کردند و من به حیث رئیس اداره موقت اعلان شدم. در این وقت باز برایم تلفن آمد و این بار جنرال مشرف در پای تلفن بود. برایم گفت: برادرم کرزی، ما خواهش داریم که یک‌بار حتماً باید با ما ملاقات نمایی، در هر جایی که شما بخواهید. ما حاضریم البته در سرحدات پاکستان و این کار را باید قبل از رفتن‌تان به کابل انجام بدهیم. تا آن حد خواهش نمود که به عذر و زاری افتاد. من گفتم: خوب است، با همکاران و بزرگان اینجا مشورت می‌کنم و بعداً به شما احوال می‌دهم.

این قصه را با مشران قوم در میان گذاشتم. همچنان موضوع ر�� آقای "گریگ وگل" که در آن وقت نماینده خاص نیروهای آمریکایی با من بود گفتم. همه كساني كه من مشورت كرىم برایم گفتند : «جناب حامد کرزی رئیس‌جمهور افغانستان، این آخرین چال و نیرنگ پاکستانی‌ها است. آنها می‌خواهند آخرین ضربه خویش را به شما وارد نمایند، زیرا رفتن شما قبلاً به ��سلام‌آباد پیش از اینکه زمام را در کشور خویش تسلیم شوید، شما را بی‌اعتبار می‌سازد.» که البته این حرف به تمام معنی واقعیت داشت.

پاکستانی‌ها می‌خواهند افغانستان را مانند دوران حبیب‌الله خان یعنی سال‌های ۱۹۰۱ الی ۱۹۱۹ نیمه‌مختار داشته باشند و سیاست خارجی‌اش را کاملاً در اختیار داشته باشند. آنها می‌خواستند نشان بدهند که پایتخت اسلام‌آباد است نه کابل.

سپس آقای کرزی رخ به طرف همه ما کرده و گفت: «برادران، به یاد داشته باشید که هدف و نیت پاکستان در قبال ما ابداً تغییر نخواهد کرد. آنها در این کشور ما را دوست ندارند و با هیچ‌کس به اندازه ما دشمنی هم ندارند. صرف��ً یک افغانستان مزدور می‌خواهند. در دوران طالبان، روشنفکران پشتون در مقابل وطن خویش بسیار زیاد خیانت کردند، زیرا همه آنها ناخودآگاه در خدمت پاکستان قرار گرفتند. مثلاً در سال ۱۹۹۷ وقتی در سنای آمریکا بین من و سفیر سفیر پاکستان تنش لفظی رخ داد ، از کا��یفرنیا برادرم برایم تلفن کرد و گفت که جامعه پشتون مقیم آمریکا از شما به خاطر اینکه با سفیر پاکستانی مشاجره نموده‌اید خفه و دلگیر هستند. این در حالی است که من برایشان می‌گفتم خیانتی که طالبان به جامعه پشتون نموده‌اند هیچ‌کس دیگر نکرده است.»

The EU can’t wash away its shame for inviting the Taliban to Brussels by throwing a little cash at the people it is deporting back to persecution.

The Taliban are in Brussels, and this is an extraordinarily shameful day for the EU.

From Badakhshan to Herat — Afghanistan is rising against Taliban tyranny.

The Taliban regime has carried out mass detentions of women in Herat, abducting young women overnight and holding them in Taliban facilities. As families and local residents protested these unethical and brutal actions, Taliban forces opened fire on civilians, killing at least two people and injuring around 20 others.

This is a heinous crime against the people of Afghanistan — a direct assault on human dignity, freedom, and the rights of women. The world must not stay silent while innocent Afghans are terrorized for demanding basic human rights.

Afghans across every province, tribe, and generation must stand united against oppression and tyranny. The struggle for a free Afghanistan continues, and history will remember those who stood against injustice.
One day we will hold everyone who partook in these crimes responsible

The Return of Hamza bin Laden

Al-Qaeda released a video yesterday featuring its Emir, Hamza bin Laden, in footage that appears to have been recorded years after 2009, yet not a single major U.S. media outlet has reported on it.

Ask yourself why.

This video was released by al-Qaeda's central media outlet, As-Sahab and shows Hamza alongside Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri. Accompanying the video is a nasheed performed by an al-Qaeda vocalist, reciting a poetry elegy written by Sheikh Abu Hafs al-Mauritani aka Mahfouz Ould al-Walid, the former mufti and Shura Council member of al-Qaeda, mourning Sheikh Osama bin Laden.

You can clearly see Hamza bin Laden at 5:46. And by the way, he appears identical to the best image of Hamza that I obtained within the last couple years, the image I was suppose to show in-person to the National Security Council last February 2025 but my meeting was canceled by Sebastian Gorka. He even told some serving at the NSC that I was on drugs to stop them from seeing my evidence on Hamza.

For years, the government and its think tank allies have told the public that this threat was gone. They have purposely lied to you. The evidence tells a different story.

Consider this a wake-up call. The next generation of the bin Laden sons is coming to attack our homeland. Pay attention to what is being plotted and who is involved before events force the conversation that we have been preparing you for.

[Sami Sadat @SayedSamiSadat]

The Taliban are moving to shut Afghanistan off from the world.

Last week, Taliban Supreme Leader Haibatullah Akhundzada appointed Mullah Abdul Ahad Fazli, a former Helmand field commander, as Minister of Telecommunications and Technology. His first actions reveal a dangerous escalation.

Together with Taliban intelligence, his ministry raided the offices of Moby Media Group. The operation lasted eight hours. Journalists, producers, administrators, and female staff were detained while Taliban forces searched phones, servers, hard drives, and internal data systems.
This morning, the same minister ordered internet providers across Afghanistan to cut household internet access. Last year, Taliban communication blackouts crippled banking, airports, businesses, and even parts of their own administration in Kabul.
Taliban authorities have also instructed the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Higher Education to stop confirming academic records for Afghan students seeking education abroad, while ignoring verification requests from international universities.
The next phase will be the denial of citizenship services for Afghans abroad — cutting millions of Afghans off from their own country.

Why is this happening?

As internal Taliban divisions deepen and public anger grows, Haibatullah believes media, telecommunications, and contact with the outside world threaten his control. His answer is isolation, censorship, and fear.

This is no longer simple repression. It is the deliberate construction of a sealed state.

If Afghanistan is disconnected from the global internet, media, and communications networks, the country will become a black hole at the center of Asia — a prison for its people and a sanctuary for terrorism, extremism, and narcotics production.

The consequences will not stop at Afghanistan’s borders. Terrorist training, global attack planning, meth production, regional instability, and mass migration will intensify dramatically.

Afghans inside and outside the country must unite, organize, and resist the isolation of our nation. Silence and division will only strengthen tyranny.

The countries of the region must understand that a collapsed and disconnected Afghanistan will export extremism, instability, narcotics, and violence across their borders.

Global powers and our former allies must stop treating Afghanistan as a forgotten crisis. The cost of inaction today will become a far greater security threat tomorrow.

This is the moment to act — before an entire nation disappears behind walls of fear, darkness, and terror.

د ملا هیبت‌الله له ادرسه نږدې هره میاشت د «رعیت» لپاره د استنجا او استنشاق د طریقې په اړه فرمان صادرېږي؛ خو کله چې د پاکستان له لوري د افغانستان پر حریم؛ هماغه خاوره چې دوی یې «دارالاسلام» او «دارالاماره» بولي؛ سلګونه بریدونه او تېري کېږي، نه کوم غږ پورته کېږي او نه کومه فتوا صادریږي.

دا معنا داره سکوت/ چوپتیا د افغانستان د خلکو مخې ته یو اساسي پوښتنه ږدي:
څنګه ممکنه د�� چې د «رعیت» د ژوند په وړو او شخصي چارو کې فرمانونه صادر شي، خو د هېواد پر حاکمیت او خاورې د تېري پر وړاندې حتی یو روښانه دریځ هم و نه نیول شي؟

افغانستان مخکې هم د همدې تکفی��ي ادبیاتو او د «دارالکفر/دارالحرب» په نوم په کنډوالو بدل شو؛ نن وېره دا ده چې د هېواد پاتې شوني به دا ځل د «دارالخوارج» په نوم او د همدې خطرناک منطق له مخې بیا قرباني شي.

تریخ تناقض دا دی:
کله چې یې په ګټه وه، هغه یې «امیرالمؤمنین» باله؛
خو نن هماغه کس په اسانه «د خوارجو مشر» او «اهل فتنه» بلل کېږي.

ښايي وخت راغلی وي چې طالبان هم؛ که لا یې په روښانه توګه نه وي درک کړي؛ لږ تم شي او فکر وکړي چې څنګه د دین په نوم ذهنونه مغشوش او حقیقتونه بی بیځا وښودل شول.

خو اساسي حل لاره لا هم روښانه ده:

له «رعیت» څخه تېر شئ او «ملت» ته مخه کړئ.

ځکه هغه هېواد چې خلک یې رعیت وبلل شي، نه به تلپاتې امنیت ولري او نه روښانه راتلونکی؛
خو هغه هېواد چې خلک یې ملت وي، بیا به دومره اسانه د تکفیر د فتواوو او د ورانولو د سیا��ت قرباني نه شي.

Today the Pashtuns of Matta, Swat came out in the thousands to protest against militarisation and terrorism. They came out to demand peace. Pashtuns refuse to be exploited in proxy wars being imposed on our lands. We stand with the people of Swat.

‘Abdul,’ pictured center, broke the Doha deal—one he never intended to honor. His daughter is literally sister-in-law to Hamza bin Laden, yet apparently facts don’t matter when negotiating with terrorists anymore. Trump never followed through on threats to bomb his house, even after the Taliban were involved in the Abbey Gate attack that killed 13 of our bravest, yet we still make cash deliveries to his home as if that tragedy never happened. Meanwhile, Zalmay Khalilzad—the architect of the worst Taliban lobbying in U.S. history—is back negotiating on behalf of the American people. Is this what you voted for? Something is off and we all know it…..

Introducing Housewives of the Taliban

The Taliban are intent on erasing the women who stood with us in Afghanistan—locking them away, stripping them of identity, silencing their voices, and erasing their faces—while at the same time exploiting “useful idiot” women in the West to act as propagandists for them.

If Afghan women are forbidden from having photographs on their national identity documents, then by the same standard, the wives of Taliban members should also be denied photographs on passports, marriage certificates, and every official record.

These women are not innocent bystanders; they are married to terrorists who enforce and profit from this system, traveling freely abroad with their husbands while Afghan women remain imprisoned inside their own homes.

If the Taliban reverses their ban on women’s photographs, then we will stop releasing the photographs of their wives. Until that day, the world will continue to see exactly who stands alongside them.

Today, we are launching a new series, Housewives of the Taliban, to ensure their faces—and their complicity—are never hidden.
