I now understand. The real tragedy of 9/11 is not that hundreds of thousands of Afghans (women included) died in a bloody and failed American occupation that lasted 20 years. That's irrelevant. The real tragedy is dysfunctional and unpopular policies on women's work and education

Afghanistan���s Construction Boom—Post-Trump Edition
Since Donald Trump’s return to power, a surprising economic trend has hit Kabul: a real estate surge. 🏗️
Let me show you what’s happening. 👇
🎥 Today I visited the International Expo Centre in Kabul.
A short video from the business fair—one of many expos where Afghan manufacturers, entrepreneurs & start-ups showcase their products and innovations.
These are not just exhibitions.
They’re part of Afghanistan’s national strategy to move away from aid dependency and build a self-sustaining, industrialised, export-driven economy.
Through these fairs, Afghanistan is reconnecting with its neighbours:
🌍 Central Asia
🌍 South Asia
🌍 The Caspian region
🌍 China
🌍 The Middle East
Trade, logistics & regional cooperation are at the core of this new vision.
From locally-produced consumer goods to emerging tech ventures, the entrepreneurial energy on display is powerful.
These businesses are proof that Afghanistan is building from within—with determination and resilience.
Despite all challenges, the entrepreneurial spirit in Afghanistan is alive—and growing stronger.
These expos are planting the seeds of a new economy.
👀 Watch the video.

@vueling I’ve submitted multiple formal complaints (Ref: 10972209) regarding denied boarding on flight VY8986 with no proper response. You ignore EU passenger rights and my documented expense claim. Please respond seriously before I escalate to NEB & ECC. #EU261#Vueling

.@elonmusk is spreading flat out dangerous Islamophobic lies now. I cannot in good conscience stay on this platform. Over the next few months i will be migrating out of X, taking my content & data. I hope other Muslims and people concerned about this dangerous hate-monger follow suit. Ideas welcome.
Sky News posted the truth about Israeli football hooligans in Amsterdam - and then deleted it.
They then posted disinformation instead.
This underlines how the Western media is lying to you.
Something is going to have to give.
It was a marvelous Friday in the Karokh district of Herat 📍
Hiking here was a unique experience, with mountains of reddish sand, lush gardens, and pristine village life. 🏞️
The diverse and stunning landscapes reflect the beauty of its people ❤️
Despite being known for its vast Registan Desert, Helmand province is also home to some stunningly lush villages, offering a vibrant contrast with their fertile landscapes and green oases. 🌿
#AfghanWomen 🧵
Afghan women’s situation isn’t an easy topic, never has been.
As a social researcher, I’d try to shed some light on some aspects that hardly make it to headlines or get the due attention from Afghan women’s right activists, IC or almost anyone. 👇🏻
