Drone Memorial

Virtual memorial for civilian drone strike victims

[Drone Memorial @dronememorial]

We remember Sadiq and all the other victims of America's illegal drone wars. Whether it's Biden or Trump, these inhumane US policies will not stop. In the past, even Bernie expressed his support for drone strikes.

This is 21yo Sadiq Rahim Jan from Paktia, Afghanistan. He was killed by a US drone strike in 2012. I wrote about his case in detail in my book and here (https://t.co/OSYhrKYXbk). Still waiting to see his face on one of these walls in Kabul. https://t.co/6ZfPGeteM8

Exactly 17 years ago, the very first drone strike in human history took place in Kandahar when the US and its allies invaded Afghanistan.

[Emran Feroz @Emran_Feroz]

Acc. to reports, dozens of alleged 'IS militants' were killed in different regions of Afghanistan by drone strikes during last days/weeks. Not a single proof have been offered by Kabul's DoD or CENTCOM regarding victims' identities. They just say it and it becomes 'truth'.

A topic which doesn't make it into Tolo News and other Afghan mainstream media. "US drops more bombs in Afghanistan than Iraq and Syria for first time in 4 years" https://t.co/sqiamVQPaQ

American drones continue killing civilians all over the world. https://t.co/Pt512Kjpl3 by @MaryamSaleh & @Shuaibalmosawa

But they keep telling us that drone strikes are "precise". https://t.co/hvLrljY5Kc

This is Pasta Khan, a nomad from Khost, Afghanistan. Several family members of him, incl. his father & his brothers, were killed by a US drone strike in June 2015. His fellow nomads said that he was suffering from PTSD since his relatives were murdered. (picture by @Emran_Feroz )

More than 60 drone strikes took place in Pakistan during the last 4 weeks. https://t.co/boDwszwetS

[Emran Feroz @Emran_Feroz]

This is what escalation looks like: More than 60 US drone strikes in Kurram Agency during the last weeks. https://t.co/mfo5LO2ccc

Another day, another U.S. airstrike that killed innocent civilians in Afghanistan. https://t.co/A7vyPaNtuD

[Emran Feroz @Emran_Feroz]

Another US airstrike killed at least 28 civ's in Logar. It was obvious that Trump's "strategy" is just more killing. https://t.co/g7LNZTD9Yc

Report of @Emran_Feroz @theintercept on how innocent Afghans get terrorized by US drones in Nangarhar, Afghanistan. https://t.co/PymOK5gC8c

[Emran Feroz @Emran_Feroz]

Finally, I found a real-life @dronememorial in Wardak, Afgh. It remembers 5 civ's who has been killed in separate drone strikes in 2013/14.

What a man in Wardak who lost his brother after a drone strike told me: "The children fear the sky. They fear getting killed while playing."

[Emran Feroz @Emran_Feroz]

What a civilian who lives under drones told me today: "We all've beards. We all look the same to them. And if we get killed, nobody cares."

[Emran Feroz @Emran_Feroz]

Just interviewed 22yo Abdul Hadi in Khost, Afghanistan. His father was drone murdered 3y ago, together with 3 other civilians.

[Emran Feroz @Emran_Feroz]

More than 600 airstrikes (at least 239 of them drone strikes) have hit Afghanistan since Trump came to office. https://t.co/p03cqc9lJj

[Drone Memorial @dronememorial]

According to several reports, 7-10 people have been killed by a drone strike in North Waziristan today.

New piece of mine with @The_NewArab on how US airstrikes in Afghanistan remain unreported. https://t.co/eFJVVYtO3t

Toronto: From a demonstration against US war crimes and the drop of the MOAB.

[Emran Feroz @Emran_Feroz]

Today, Afghans protested in front of the US embassy in Vienna against American war crimes and the drop of the MOAB in their homecountry.
