The quote below (about the arrival in #Greenland of a few officials from #Europe) is unlikely to thwart the #UnitedStates if indeed it is intent on taking #Greenland.

Surely no better time than #EidAlAdha2023 to release @matiullahwesa. #Afghanistan

The battle goes on to #EndPolio . #Afghanistan & #Pakistan remain as the countries never to have purged wild poliovirus. Important for all, everywhere, that they do so.

[WHO Polio @WHO_Polio]

Wild poliovirus weekly case update from @WHO: No new cases.
In 2023: Pakistan: 1; Afghanistan: 5.
In 2022: Afghanistan: 2; Pakistan: 20; Mozambique: 8.

King Willem-Alexander apologises for the Netherlands' role in slavery today, the 150th anniversary of its abolition. #Amsterdam's role has been described by her mayor as, "Direct, worldwide, large-scale, muti-faceted and protracted." Well said, #FemkeHalsema. #KetiKoti

[Visit Netherlands @Visit_NL]

🎉 🌻 A time to commemorate and celebrate the abolishment of slavery in @Iamsterdam : join us at Keti Koti. Every year on July 1, the abolishment of slavery is commemorated in various places in the Netherlands. A time to reflect and to celebrate the abolition of slavery

[Toby Lanzer @tobylanzer]

Well done, @NRC_Norway.

[Jan Egeland @NRC_Egeland]

I am glad to confirm that we have been able to resume most of our humanitarian operations in Kandahar as well as a number of other regions in Afghanistan.

All our work is for women & men, girls & boys alike, & with equal participation of our female & male humanitarian colleagues

[Toby Lanzer @tobylanzer]

It's been two months since the #Taliban arrested @MatiullahWesa, an advocate for #education.

That's his "crime" and the only appropriate option is to release him without delay.

#Afghanistan

[Toby Lanzer @tobylanzer]

The unimaginable is true #EveryDay in & about #Afghanistan. Imagine a conference where the voice of #women in a country is silenced or put forward by anybody except the #women of the country concerned.

Daniel Levy - You need to come out to the cameras today and explain what is going on behind the scenes at our great club….

This entire situation is utterly unacceptable, we are the laughing stock of the Premier League…

ACT NOW… And give us the vision and plan for the coming seasons…

Wishful thinking.

[Zalmay Khalilzad @realZalmayMK]

Mullah Haybatullah, the leader of the Taliban said in his Eid sermon that if any of his decisions are not Islamic they should not be carried out. Excellent, and here are two: not allowing women/girls to go to high school and universities; and not allowing women to work in UN and other offices. Many Islamic scholars, including those who supported the Talibs such as Abdul Hamid of Zahedan, and countless others across the Islamic world, have said so. Sounds like a green light for women's education and work!

#EidMubarak & a peaceful #EidAlFitr2023 for all. Thinking especially of my friends and in #Afghanistan 🇦🇫 & #Sudan 🇸🇩

[Toby Lanzer @tobylanzer]

Every #woman has the right to work so everyone should share @UNAMAnews' outrage.

Words of protest are very unlikely to get the #Taliban to reverse its ban.

What is @UN collectively going TO DO about the #Taliban's position? There are options.

[UNAMA News @UNAMAnews]

Full update and statement: UN protests order from de facto authorities prohibiting Afghan women from working with the United Nations in #Afghanistan:
https://t.co/VZZTD4ViTs

[Toby Lanzer @tobylanzer]

No doubt: women from #Afghanistan should work for @UN there as 50% of staff & managers. But words such as "unacceptable" or " intolerable" ring empty to the #Taliban, unless @antonioguterres & his team back such statements with real steps that hurt those currently in power.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Banning Afghan women from working with the UN in Afghanistan is an intolerable violation of the most basic human rights.

I call on the Taliban to immediately revoke this decision & reverse all measures restricting women’s & girls’ rights to work, education & freedom of movement.

[Toby Lanzer @tobylanzer]

#Afghanistan: President @KarzaiH calls for the release of @matiullahwesa, detained by #Taliban for promoting girls' education. @UNAMAnews' weak voice on this is baffling. Speak up! Speak out! It might be you next.

[Hamid Karzai @KarzaiH]

په خواشینۍ سره مې خبر ترلاسه کړ چې د تعلیم د ودی او پراختیا فعال او د قلم لار بنسټ @PenPath1 مسوول مطیع‌الله ویسا نیول شوی دی.
د قلم لار بنسټ له ۱۳۸۸ام هـ. ش. کال راهیسې د #افغانستان په بېلابېلو ولایاتو کې د هېواد د بچیانو د تعلیم او زدکړې لپاره ډېرې هلې ځلې کړي او د قدر وړ…

[Toby Lanzer @tobylanzer]

Yes, it's pitiful @jjenas8. @SpursOfficial don't fight for the ball; unable to play simple passes; unwilling to go forward when with an extra man. Just embarrassing. #EVETOT #LevyOut

[Jermaine Jenas @jjenas8]

I can’t watch this team anymore ffs 😡 #spurs

[Toby Lanzer @tobylanzer]

If the #Taliban has arrested @matiullahwesa then the best course of action is to release him unharmed, immediately.

[Matiullah Wesa مطيع الله ويسا @matiullahwesa]

Men, women, elderly, young, everyone from every corner of the country are asking for the Islamic rights to education for their daughters. Penpath female volunteers calls for girls education and their rights to education #PenPathGirlsEduCampaign #PenPathGirlsEduCampaign

[Toby Lanzer @tobylanzer]

Only one country on earth forbids girls from finishing their secondary education.

Please let me know if you understand why.

The @SpursOfficial director doesn't back the manager and the manager doesn't back the players. It's awful. It's time for both to leave.

Conte: “They are used to it here. They don't play for something important. They don't want to play under pressure, under stress.

“Tottenham story is this for 20 years. There is the owner but they never won something. Why?"

[Toby Lanzer @tobylanzer]

Good news: #Sweden again is a strong & generous provider of money for the "pooled fund" that finances national & int'l #NGOs & @UN agencies in #Afghanistan. Will other countries follow suit, soon? The first quarter of 2023 ends this month. @UNOCHA @Sida

[OCHA Afghanistan @OCHAAfg]

Thank you🙏Sweden 🇸🇪

Sweden’s very generous contribution to the #Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund constitutes the first donor support received in 2023. It enables continuation of live-saving assistance, for all people of Afghanistan, and those needing it most.
