Its about the Kawala. I have the kawala it is as much as my land as anyone else. So the world might forget Afg in few weeks. We stand together.

An Afghan responds

Facts: modern #Afghanistan was established in 1747, almost 30 years before the US came in to being. 🇦🇫 has remained a nation despite its recent violent past.There has never been a separatist movement in the country's history despite its numerous ethnic groups.

@FlyRwandAir I’ve sent countless inquiries with my ticket no., including recently. I just spent money on @flyEthiopian Shebamiles top-up so I can book with them instead (after no recent response from Rwandair and seeing the non approved for Nigeria status). I’ll need a refund at this point.

[Tristan Purvis @Prof_Tristan]

@hadisirika Is this true? Or fake news on the part of @FlyRwandAir? They were listed among airlines barred from operating in Nigeria as of this morning, and have yet to reach out to clients holding tickets for previously cancelled flights out of Nigeria.

@dawisu Advised to be vigilante in what sense? To go after the lion itself? Or to punish the people responsible for it getting loose?... Be vigilant with your spelling oo, or you might send the wrong message. 😜
