Families in Afghanistan are facing unimaginable loss after the recent earthquakes.
Farkhunda Muhtaj speaks with our colleague in the field Faramarz Barzin about the devastation, the challenges on the ground, and how UNHCR is helping families rebuild.
A bad week for India's Muslims -- a predictable consequence of the overt Hindu nationalism and Islamophobia of Prime Minister Modi's BJP. Disturbingly little media coverage. https://t.co/D42Qrc5OJH
Taliban burn a school building n Zabul. They left a note stating that schools graduate people like @ashrafghani and @KarzaiH & madrasas graduate people like Mula Mohammad Omar & Mula Hebatullah. #Taliban banned #GirlsEducation & changed 100s educational centers 2 madaras. #AFG
مطیع الله ویسا له پخوا جاسوس و.
له ملي امنیت سلاکار @hmohib سره به د کتنو وار نه و او هر یو، چې به راغی حتما یې کومه توقع درلوده. په دې لړ کې @matiullahwesa هم یو ملاقات وکړ. موږ، چې په معارف کې ددهٔ خدمات او منډې لیدلې وې، داسې راته لګېده، چې حتما به دفتر او څه خرچه غواړي…۱/۴
Alarmed by reports that @matiullahwesa famous educator esp. for #girls, leading civil society member & founder of @PenPath1, has been arrested in Kabul by the Taliban dfA. His safety is paramount & all his legal rights must be respected.

The detention of @PenPath1@matiullahwesa is shocking. He is a man loving his country and transparently working for education. "We must work hard to rebuild Afghanistan. We should not be afraid of challenges and problems, we should make Afghanistan a home of peace”
گرفتاری مطیع الله ویسا @matiullahwesa@PenPath1 یک بخش از کمپاین جدید طالبان علیه کار موسسات غیر حکومتی و فعالین جامعه مدنی است. این کمپاین را یک ریاست جدید تشکیل در تشکیلات ریاست استخبارات طالبان پیش می برد. آقای ویسا تنها کارمند و فعال مدنی در بند نیست بلکه
@PopalRoshana@MajeedQarar It is a very sensitive issue, people have lost family to the Pak war in Afg. You as an educated person and should think twice. Don’t act like nothing ever happened btw these two countries.
@PopalRoshana@MajeedQarar Even asking help from a country who destroyed our country multiple times is treachery to the blood of all killed in past 40 years. Now with the help Taliban they are destroying the foundation of our society, ban of women and firing educated people from universities is idea of Pak
Banning education for half of the population of Afghanistan violates the U.N. Charter and every civilised law and norm. Those who imposed Taliban on Afg are also responsible for it. International community should act against it instead of issuing empty statements.

Captured this heart wrenching picture of Afghan refugee children at Bakhsi Khana. They are imprisoned at landhi jail since last two months waiting for their deport orders.
@USAmbKabul More people would have strongly opposed the Taliban decision if Pakistan haven’t killed more than 1600 community leaders in the south of Afghanistan.
After decades of #US and #European misrule in the #MiddleEast - terrorism, coups, invasions and proxy wars, a legacy of misery, trauma and conflict - the EU washes its hands of it, strokes its chin, and ponders how to bring "stability to the region"? You have got to be joking.
War ends with proper education for all. Poverty is war. Lack of education is war. When the population is disproportionately uneducated, we become heavily dependent on other nations. We want to progress and prosper as an independent nation, not retrograde.
