It’s a scam. The American withdrawal from Afghanistan is an indictment on the ngo/development industry. Not only was it embedded in the occupation, in the 20 years there it had barely built the projects it claimed on paper.

Colonial vampires feeding off the global south.

One hair on the heads of Iran’s Red Crescent workers is worth more than 1000 Reza Pahlavis.

[Glumcore @theprimalplot]

The normalisation of violence against Afghans is one of the most disturbing legacies of the post-911 era. Not even the 'anti-war' movement is able to reckon with the racism that rationalises how the imposition of geopolitical will appears in the form of bombing.

At least 400 people were killed and 250 injured in an air strike by Pakistan on a drug users rehabilitation hospital in the Afghanistan capital Kabul, a spokesman of the Afghan Taliban government said https://t.co/vlllKi2E5n

@wdf_pk Are you going to talk about Pakistan launching airstrikes on Afghanistan?

[Moniza Kakar @Moni_Kakar]

In the last 24 hours in Peshawar, hundreds of Afghan refugees have been detained in intensified raids. Families are being separated, children are terrified, and many now face deportation to Afg.

Regardless of policy changes, basic dignity and due process must not be abandoned.

I am dismayed. Active and serious negotiations have yet again been undermined. Neither the interests of the United States nor the cause of global peace are well served by this. And I pray for the innocents who will suffer. I urge the United States not to get sucked in further. This is not your war.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.

[Zaynab | زينب @sheen_chaii]

@antifatwa Yeah just two days after Pakistan launched airstrikes on Afghanistan.. maybe take that into consideration

[Glumcore @theprimalplot]

Wow. We’re back in 2001. Afghan women being unveiled for western penetration. Anyone insisting the chador is Pakistani is being dishonest. It’s been worn there for centuries. These women are doing something else: they want to present Pashtun as an ethnic group as foreign.

No, it's because the US Federal Reserve, IMF and World Bank all cut off funding when the Taliban took over (even though the US negotiated the deal w them) and now there's no physical money, so it's limited to $200 a week. It was limited because there's no money

[Zaynab | زينب @sheen_chaii]

People who for years excused or ignored the night raids, air strikes, drone attacks, and unlawful detentions carried out by foreign and Afghan forces are suddenly incensed that no one is covering potential abuses in rural areas. @alibomaye

In this week's @NewYorker I write about the Afghan women who wanted US troops to leave https://t.co/nQGzqKPFZu

If there's only piece of reporting you read about Afghanistan this week, I think it should be this:

WHEN THE RAIDS CAME - by @andrewquilty: https://t.co/fjx5Vby6aO

He spent 2.5 years reporting it, only to have it come out the day after Kabul fell & get lost in the cycle. But...

[Glumcore @theprimalplot]

Nearly all of western reporting has come from Kabul, offering a distorted account of people's lives in the country. This is an intentional effort to refuse understanding of the country. https://t.co/k6FJJPt2U1

[MichaelJRowley @MichaelJRowley3]

The CIA Specifically referred to the Afghan women as 'the ideal messengers in humanizing the ISAF role'.

[jana @thealakhras]

Whenever a country faces horrific conditions and your first inclination is to sympathize only with women and children, ask yourself what it is about the men of these countries that makes them undeserving of safety and protection.
