Today the UK confirms our continued commitment to the people of Afghanistan. The UK will provide £105m a year for the next three years, delivering life-saving aid through trusted partners to support the most vulnerable, especially women and girls.

@mhdksafa I don’t think Elon hates Islam or Muslims in general(look at his friendship with some rich Arab men). His problem is deeper than that: he hates people who are poor & vulnerable. He hates USAID because of its assistance to poor communities in Africa & Asia. He is wealth addict.

If this isn’t alarming, I don’t know what is. Afghanistan is heading toward a system collapse of its human capital. A country without female teachers, doctors or students is not just unequal; it’s unsustainable. This isn’t a distant risk, it’s a catastrophe already in motion.

Afghanistan risks losing more than 25,000 women teachers and health workers by 2030 if restrictions on girls’ education and women’s employment continue, warns @UNICEF.

More than one million girls have already been denied their right to learn.

UNAMA has documented tens of civilians killed or injured yesterday afternoon in strikes on areas of Asadabad, eastern #Afghanistan, including a university.

[Elian Peltier @ElianPeltier]

◾️The Pakistani airstrikes on a Kabul drug rehabilitation center last month were the deadliest attack on civilians in Afghanistan since the Taliban took over in 2021.

◾️The United Nations’ mission in Afghanistan has so far confirmed 269 civilian deaths, 122 injured, and says the death toll is likely higher. Taliban officials say more than 400 people were killed, which international humanitarian organizations operating in Afghanistan say is credible.

◾️Our reporting suggests that Pakistan missed its target. The real target was less than 300 yards away behind a blast wall and housed drone parts. It appears to be intact.

◾️Since early 2023, the Taliban have rounded up thousands of drug users and placed them in facilities at times tucked in military compounds, where they face unmedicated, forced withdrawal in conditions that foreign officials have described as arbitrary detention.

◾️Two days before the strike on the Kabul center, Pakistan hit an empty military building adjacent to a drug rehabilitation center in the southern province of Kandahar. No civilian casualties were reported.

◾️Pakistani military officials have suggested that the patients in Kabul were being trained to become suicide bombers. They have provided no evidence to back that claim.

◾️The strikes abruptly ended the lives of husbands, brothers and sons who struggled with depression, grief or the shame of unemployment, their families said. Many said their relatives had ebbed for years between erratic behaviors, domestic violence and glimmers of hope shattered by relapses.

The latest UN report on Afghanistan shows further shocking decline. No country can thrive while half its people are excluded from education, work & public life. Every Afghan deserves the right to live freely without persecution. We urge the Taliban to respect all Afghans’ rights.

Ignore GB news. Ignore Twitter.

Britain is full of good, kind people who want to build a better kinder world.

Today showed that.

Pakistan strike on drug rehab center in #Afghanistan, killing 143+ & injuring 250+, is possible war crime, requiring impartial probe into who's responsible & steps to ensure failures in intelligence, target verification & decision-making don't reoccur @HRW https://t.co/qaEnIQeTSD
