A video shows Syria’s president using a Visa card, one day after the US removed the country from the State Sponsor of Terrorism list.

US sanctions had banned Syrians from accessing the global banking system for more than 15 years.

مردی که پدر بود و از زندگی به جان آمده، در مسیر مهاجرت اجباری و از سر فقر، در دشت‌های سوزان نیمروز در دم مرگ از همه طلب بخشش کرد و مثل یک کودک بی‌پناه برای مادرش با زبان پشتو پیام گذاشت (مادر من می میرم، مراقب کودکانم باش، دلم برایت تنگ شده است.)
واقعا تاچند تاچند انسان آن سرزمین با خواری و خفت بمیرد تا شماری انسان خودخواه آدم شوند؟

Winds of Change are already apparent, elsewhere in South Asia, as recent events in India, Bangladesh, Nepal & Sri Lanka have demonstrated! Pakistan and Pakistanis cannot be immune to the Forces of Change!

Indonesia and Malaysia are challenging an assumption that modernisation naturally leads to secularisation. Despite their economic progress, religiosity is intensifying, not weakening https://t.co/b3CbQryYcc

#Afghanistan has received above-average precipitation over the past 3 weeks, which has largely reduced the rainfall deficit from Nov-Jan. More pecipitation will further improve condition in the coming days. However, early warming & snowmelt could still lead to hydrologic drought.

The last decade saw deepening ties between #India and #Bangladesh in trade, tourism, connectivity, energy trade, investment...these hard-won gains are now at risk. In today's @thetribunechd, I argue that a comprehensive dialogue is needed to reset this critical partnership.

Beyond Dependency: Rethinking Aid, Resilience, and Local Ownership in Afghanistan

By Ehsan ZIA, Kawun KAKAR and Omar SAMAD

Afghanistan’s relationship with foreign aid is long, complex, and cautionary. From imperial subsidies to Cold War rivalries and post-9/11 reconstruction, external assistance has shaped the country’s institutions, politics, and psyche. While aid has delivered short-term relief and supported critical services, it has also entrenched a mindset of dependency—one that undermines resilience, erodes local ownership, and weakens state capacity.

This article examines the evolution of Afghanistan’s aid dependency across three dimensions: state-building, humanitarian and development assistance, and the behavioral impacts of prolonged external support. It offers lessons for practitioners seeking to design more sustainable, locally grounded interventions in fragile contexts.

Afghanistan’s Railway Crossroads Facing Opportunity Amid Geopolitical and Governance Challenges

By Omar SAMAD and Dr. Adib FARHADI
For over a century, Afghanistan has aspired to become a gateway for regional commerce—a vital connector linking Central Asia and China to the Indian Ocean and Gulf waterways. That vision is finally showing signs of life, yet the path forward remains fraught with complexity. The recent push to transform Afghanistan into a major transport corridor comes not through conventional routes but amid geopolitical rivalries, international sanctions, human rights concerns and technical roadblocks.
Several bilateral and multilateral agreements have emerged to support this ambition, including a feasibility study for the Trans-Afghan Railway. n/1
