[La France à l'ONU 🇫🇷🇺🇳 @franceonu]

42 États et l’UE se sont joints à la France pour une declaration condamnant avec la plus grande fermeté la discrimination et la répression systémiques des Taliban à l’encontre des femmes et des filles afghanes. Cette politique de ségrégation basée sur le genre doit cesser.

[Mariam Solaimankhil @Mariamistan]

I want every person in the international community who lobbied for the Taliban, whitewashed their ideology, or tried to discredit Afghan women to watch this.

You demanded “evidence” from the women living the nightmare while extending endless benefit of the doubt to their oppressors.

History should record that too. Thank you @CBSNews and @ImtiazTyab for amplifying these voices.

.@SkyYaldaHakim - "Has the intl community let down the Afghan people because you can't figure out how to deal with the Taliban?"

"The intl community, including the UN, have not developed a coherent, cohesive and unified policy."
Richard Bennett, the UN's special rapporteur on human rights in Afghanistan, says there should be engagement with the Taliban on certain issues.

Leon Panetta calls it what it was: betrayal. Afghanistan was not destined to return to the Taliban. It was a political decision to walk away from millions of Afghans who had fought, sacrificed and believed in a different future. And Afghans are still paying the price.

Excellent work, @SkyYaldaHakim - you’re a brilliant journalist. 🧿

[Yalda Hakim @SkyYaldaHakim]

"We betrayed all of those we fought for when we suddenly pulled all our forces out of Afghanistan and left it to the Taliban to again regain control."

Leon Panetta, who was CIA director when US special forces shot and killed Osama Bin Laden, says the US and its allies should have "maintained a presence" in Afghanistan ⬇️

Our country is better than this.

This man is risking his entire military career to speak out for Khalil. That shows how much this issue matters to out women and men in uniform.

63% of the American public agree this shouldn’t be happening.

[Ryan Goodman @rgoodlaw]

Extraordinary, powerful and heart-wrenching.

Active duty Marine Colonel Zach Schmidt, speaking in his personal capacity, about Khalil, an Afghan national whose family helped U.S. forces in Afghanistan.

Khalil was deported by the U.S. on Friday to a conflict zone.

If you follow Afghanistan, terrorism, or regional security, this is a conversation worth joining. @fleischnerj ‘s work is always rigorous, thoughtful, and deeply informed. Don’t miss this one.

[Justine Fleischner @fleischnerj]

Twenty-five years after 9/11, most people assume al-Qaida lost. The core that carried out the attacks has been degraded. Its affiliates have not.

On September 2nd, I will be joining @Dr_SaraHarmouch, Bruce Hoffman, Tom Sanderson, and Colin Smith for a forward-looking conversation on al-Qaida and its affiliates days before the 25th anniversary of 9/11 hosted by @gwupoe.

I'll be drawing on some of my most recent work, which I haven't presented publicly before.

Wednesday, September 2, 2026, 2:00 to 3:00 PM ET. Virtual. Open to everyone. Registration link below.

I hope you'll join us.

There’s something almost poetic about architects of Afghanistan’s failed republic, now comfortably abroad, lecturing Dr. #AishaWahab on how to “be American.”

She didn’t inherit foreign intelligence funds, a militia, a title, or a seat at a foreign-appointed table. She earned it by campaigning and earning votes.

And perhaps that’s what really stings: an Afghan-American woman saying Afghanistan belongs neither to the Taliban nor to yesterday’s warlords.

One country. One national flag.

The men who couldn’t keep a republic alive now want to police how others should do or don't. History has a brutal sense of humor.

"If a girl cannot attend school, is that peace? If a woman cannot participate equally in her country, is that peace?" asks Hon. @Mariamistan, a Member of Parliament of #Afghanistan in exile and a Member of PGA.

Thank you for publishing my oped.

“This is why democracy and women's rights in Afghanistan matter beyond Afghanistan. When the rights of half a nation can be erased overnight, we see how fragile freedom can become.”

@fleischnerj “I keep waiting for the friends I left behind to tell me I failed. They never do.” This carries so much weight.

خبری که کمر یک ملت را شکست. . .

[Justine Fleischner @fleischnerj]

Today marks five years of Taliban rule.

I had spent years working in Afghanistan tracing weapons and illicit supply chains alongside Afghan army, police, and intelligence officers. I had stayed on Afghan bases, travelled on Afghan military aircraft, and trusted Afghan security forces with my life.

When Kabul fell, I discovered the limits of everything I could do.

In the days that followed, I helped friends and former colleagues navigate Taliban checkpoints, coordinate with people inside the airport, complete evacuation paperwork, and find ways out of the country.

Some made it.

Some didn’t.

I finally wrote the story I’ve never told.

Part of my latest interview with @BBC and @bbc_helena on the anniversary of Afghanistan’s collapse to the Taliban.

Democracy was imperfect, but it gave Afghans a place to fight with ideas, debate and votes instead of bullets.

The world made promises to Afghanistan—on democracy, human rights, women and a shared fight against terrorism. Too many of those promises left when their soldiers did.

Afghanistan didn’t just lose a government. We lost the political space we had spent 20 years building.

Thank you @BBC and @bbc_helena
