Tech colonialism is something I struggle with everyday as an Afghan startup founder.
Although we’ve built trust amongst our fellow Afghans and are 100% Afghan-led, Silicon Valley is planning to exploit the Afghan crisis regardless.
Work with us, don’t make money off of us.

As a survivor of a Taliban terror attack, I don't need to be told who the Taliban are. If you want to defend them to me, it means you are OK with me being killed on August 24, 2016 when Taliban attacked my place of work--AUAF. #SanctionPakistan

We understand that some Afghans feel safe right now. A few men on the street & foreign journalists who say "its fine" to the cameras isn't enough. At minimum,ethnic minorities like Hazaras and women,who are half of the population, are not safe or heard. So MOST are not "fine".
Over a dozen women protested in #Kabul yesterday, calling on the #Taliban to allow schoolgirls return to their classes. The women gathered outside ministry of vice and virtue building — which was the former govt’s women affairs ministry — despite the Taliban banning protests.
In the 1960s, Afghan women were far more emancipated than many Western women who today, with crocodile tears, defend the rights of Afghan women solely & exclusively to get mouth-watering consulting contracts with international organizations and the governments of donor countries.
What is a "privileged" Afghan? The luckiest ones are those whose families fled? Deprived of living in your homeland, disconnect from identity & reading headlines about your people suffering isn't privilege. Stop attacks on them & focus on why they are diaspora in the first place
