اگر خود را رهبر میگویم باید جرعت اخلاقی برای پاسخگویی داشته باشیم و دیگران را سخنگوی خود نسازیم و از تربیون آنها استفاده نکنیم.
لطفآ سخنگوی رهبران سیاسی نشوید.امروز با هم میجنگند و فردا در یک میز برای قدرت و سیاست همدست میشوند و شما حتی به یاد شان نمیمانید.
Mexico accepted its first group of refugees from Afghanistan on Tuesday, including one man and five members of Afghanistan's prize-winning girls' robotics team.

Always felt @rashidkhan_19 was a good spinner but now I wouldn’t hesitate in saying he is the best spinner in the world in this format. Mind you, he’s got some batting skills as well. Great guy.
UPDATE:
1 week of Taliban, 35 million people r suffering-
1. Banks are still closed, 2)food & groceries prices have doubled, 3) there is no news on humanitarian support to IDPs, 4) people are not able to find telephone cards, 5) government offices are shut, 6) low or no internet
Several dozens of protesters march through the Dashti-E-Barchi neighborhood in #Kabul, demanding women representation & progressing women’s rights, since the promises made by the newly formed Taliban Government – announced yesterday – is seemingly more elusive. #Afghanistan
Dozens of Afghans are exercising their freedom of expression, freedom of protest & assembly today. I salute brave women & men in streets of Kabul. This is new Afghanistan. Repression, reprisal & ignorance is not acceptable. This is the most beautiful photo- which says FREEDOM
The US has hijacked the airport. The US military is claiming evacuation of US officials. How many of them? 100, 500? US military in airport is shooting in air to scare people. Airport is most insecure as compared to the rest of Kabul. Let commercial flights take people out NOW.
Airstrikes by US in Taliban control Jalalabad. Now these airstrikes are legitimate & acceptable by Taliban? Now civilians don’t die by these airstrikes? Where are the airstrikes critics now? Speak up!
امرالله صالح بگوید نه شعار بدهد، نه شعر بگوید و نه مردم افغانستان را از این بیش استفاده کند. اگر مرد میبود، غیرت میداشت روز که اشرف غنی بیغرت فرار کرد رهبری را به دست میگرفت میجنگید، مردم و نیرو های امنیتی ما را قربانی نمیکرد. بس کنید این حماقت را، بس کنید استفاده مردم را!!!
Thread- Women’s rights update in Afghanistan
1. Taliban are showing their real color now. They have expedited imposing restrictions on women & girls one after other. Their recent orders clearly shows the same pattern as of 1996 when women & girls were never part of the society.
Seeing UR country falling apart is worse thing ever.There is anxiety,uncertainty,fear,& anger in us in & out #AFG. Family,friends,ppl r suffering. In 90s war,my dad was switching radio/TV btwn news channels to know about situation. Today,I found myself doing so.Hard days & nights
هفت و هشت ثور مبارکی ندارد نه قابل تجلیل است. نه قهرمان به جا گذاشته است و نه مبارزه بوده است. اگر باور نمیکنید به وضعیت هزاران بیوه و یتیم، بیجا شده گان، مهاجرین، داغ های جنگ در در و دیوار های افغانستان بیبینید و کمی بشرمید!
امروز رستورانت افغانی را دیدم. قابلی خواستم. مزه اولین لقمه این قابلی دقیقا مثل رستورانت های کوچک کابل بود. احساس عجیب بود که مزه نان آشنا است ولی وطن نیست. خانم که با شوهرش رستورانت خود را پیش میبرند نان تنوری برایم تحفه داد، پول نگرفت گفت هموطن استی.
Taliban promoters started tweeting 2 days ago “this is first peaceful Ramadan in 20 years in Afghanistan” however in Herat and Kabul over 100 people are killed & injured today & on Friday. There is limited international reporting on this situation due to Ukraine, where is peace?
UPDATES -WEEK 4:
1. Reports of grave human rights violations from Panjshir & Kandahar by Taliban. No accountability on these horrific crimes. Intl' community is silent.
2. Banks withdrawal only 200$ per week. WU & Money Gram have no cash to pay. No reports on provincial crises.
Thread: Status of Afghan migrants, refugees and asylum seekers since 15 August:
1. Iran: Afghans who enter Iran are facing all forms of discrimination, abuse & violence. They are sent back in thousands by the Iran border police. They have faced gun shots & more.
1. Taliban release a video of women protestors detained who speak about why they were protesting. The fear in visible in their face. Their voice are shaking. Some cannot even look at the camera.This is new tactic of Taliban defaming women's rights & women activism in Afghanistan.
Disappointing to see #UnitedStates with all its slogans have not invited a single Afghan women to #Doha. Would be credible if 34 women leaders from 34 provinces were invited, made them sit in front row & show #Taliban that women & girls are NO MORE VICTIMS. #AfghanPeaceProcess
#Breaking: Afghan women protest in Herat- chanting “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid- we are all together”.
They are calling for women’s meaningful inclusion,they emphasize women are highly educated & experienced- we do not want our representation to be limited by Taliban.
THREAD:
17 days UPDATE on women’s rights in Afghanistan:
1. Women has disappeared from political, social & economic spaces
2.Women led NGOs are searched, questioned & have been asked to remain shut
4. Prominent women activists R threatened through calls/msgs/social media
The silence of United Nations Secretary General @antonioguterres on horrific situation of Afghanistan is shameful. When you look at his twitter account, it is about everything except Afghanistan. UN Secretary General has a mandate, responsibility and role, speak up!!
Defender of the Year Award 2022- It was an emotional evening. Grateful for the recognition for my human rights work for my people and Afghanistan.
I am dedicating this recognition to all women of my country in Afghanistan and outside.
I am in tears. I feel it is just another 15 August. Read what she says.
"Why are they playing with our future? It is our right, we are humans, we are from this country. All we want is to continue with our education. Is it a sin to be girl, is it sin to seek education?"
#Thread -Views are personal & not my organization!
1. After Taliban's return,several international journalists,foreign aid workers & INGO representatives started traveling to Afghanistan.They continue bringing an extremely dangerous narrative that Afghanistan is now a safe place.
قبل از استعفا/کنار رفتن از مقام،کاش در باره کارکرد ها،دستاورد ها و ناکامی های تان کمی گزارش میدادید.دو سال قبل از یک بست که کار تان معلوم نبود خبر شدیم در اداره بازرس مقرر شدید، دوسال بعد بدون این که بفهمیم چی خدمت کردید از وظیفه کنار رفتین. حداقل با خود صادق باشید

This is a civilized city!
They're blue-eyed and blond-haired!
This is Europe, not the Third World!
Tonight on @MSNBC, @AymanM and I discussed some of the awful and, frankly, racist coverage of the Ukraine war & Ukrainian refugees compared to the MidEast:
Women are out in streets again protesting against closure of Ministry of Women’s Affairs & ban on girls education above class 6. In last couple of weeks all Taliban have done successfully is to repress women. This is even more serious in provinces where outreach is not possible.
شعار معترضان: خاک پاکم را گرفتی، درس و مشقم را نگیر
گروهی از زنان امروز به محدودیت تعلیم دختران و حذف وزارت امور زنان توسط طالبان، در #کابل اعتراض کردند.
🧵1. Today Germany, Canada, the Netherlands & Australia announced to take Afghanistan to International Court of Justice for gender discrimination & violating fundamental rights of women & girls under CEDAW convention. A welcome step towards accountability & a minor positive news.
Four Years Today since I joined Amnesty International and moved out of Afghanistan. Many learning, many challenges, some disappointments, some good work that I will always be proud of. Lets see how long this will continue 😁.
از کار فیسبوک که صفحات طالبان را بسته است خیلی خوش استم. به گروه که 11 ماه است صدای مردم را خاموش و زندگی را جهنم ساخته اند نباید بیشتر موقع داده شود.با این چنین فشار ها باید جلو مشارکت،تبلیغات و سفر این گروه گرفته شود. طالب هیچ وقت نمایند تمام مردم نیست. یک گروه شوم است و بس!
میگن تیم کرکت افغانستان ”ملی“ نبود- اول این سپورت است و اگر دیگران علاقه ندارند بازی کنند گناه این تیم چیست؟ دوم چی ملی بود در افغانستان که این تیم میبود. شما فکر کنم ارگ، دفتر سرور دانش، امرالله صالح، داکتر عبدالله و دیگران اش یاد تان رفته؟ هر کس در راس، کارمندان اش از همان سمت.
What you lack is understanding on Women situation. Most women were financially supporting their families. They had jobs. Hanger,lack of jobs & salaries have affected them, their families & communities. Educate yourself before representing Taliban, please @DivaPatang
We need to give d Taliban more time to form their gov in order to see what rights r given to women as country not only lacking women’s right but basic human right at d moment. It’s to early to judge. There r bigger issues such as hunger, finance, healthcare @trtworld @YashPaddy
The Taliban may try to silence us with their laws, but they cannot take our voices. We will write, we will read, and we will resist. Our wounds will become poetry, and our pain will be transformed into lasting songs for history.
#LetAfghanGirlsLearn#IQRA
Taliban was and is a militant group. They have brought dozens of gunman across country. They are not organized & people are afraid of them. They lack how to manage a government. Afghanistan of 96 to today is different. This group will make people suffer, it has already started
وقتی حمدالله محب ۳۵ میلیون نفر را با غنی و دیگر دار و دسته اش به یک گروه تروریستی تسلیمکرد و گریخت، بری او یک چند دو و دشنام شاید تعریف معلوم شود. همیشه خواندیم یا شنیدیم که (وجدان اش مرده است)، محب این را نشان داد یعنی چی. واقعا وجدان اش مرده است.

I was introduced to cricket in 1992 as refugee when #Pak team won the world cup-Today my great team @ACBofficials won them- It is like winning world cup for me. What a breath taking match.Proud of our boys- Thank you for giving us happiness. We want more in @cricketworldcup 💃💃!
kidnapping & torture of Afghan Ambassador’s daughter is analyzed from many angle however I expect Pakistan women activists,civil society & media to speak up. We share religion & culture in which women respect & protection is considered highest. Speak up, we expect from you.
Wow- not a campaign nor a politician visit but to welcome activists back. Impressive! Much respect to Ali Wazir and Mohsin Dawar and of course you @a_siab sahib 🙏.
A hero’s welcome to Ali Wazir in Wana ( South Waziristan) after his release from prison where he & Mohsin Dawar ( like other PTM leaders & activists) were kept under false charges and without conviction by court. Categoric verdict by the People’s court. Thank you Waziristan!

محمد اشرف غنی، رییس جمهور پیشین در پیامی عیدی که از صفحه فیسبوکاش پخش شد، بر اجماع ملی، اهمیت آموزش دختران و پسران، همکاریهای منطقهای و راهکار های اقتصادی برای بیرون رفت از مشکلات موجود در افغانستان، تاکید کرد.
#طلوعنیوز
عید همه شما مبارک. به امید این که این عید، خوشی ها را زیاد بسازد، غم و نارامی های مان را کم کند و شروع روز های بهتر باشد.
Eid Mubarak to all of you. May this Eid heals us, gives us peace and be start of better days.
الحمدالله!!!
Back to work and got this☺️. Officially a graduate of Masters of Advance Studies @ETH_en Mediation in Peace Processes. Grateful and blessed for this.
Afghan women are systematically disappeared from everything in Afghanistan. Schools, jobs, media and society. Taliban have taken Afghan women back exactly to 1996. This must be stopped- where is international community?
This leaked document stating salary of an advisor for the amount of US $ 41250 per month is shocking & disgusting when our people die of poverty daily. Will @ARG_AFG and #MinistryofFinance clarify if it is a real document, who this “ADVISOR” is and what magic he does?
Thread-Human Rights Violations in Afghanistan
1. Taliban reprisal, repression & restrictions on women & girls have increased. Yesterday they announced that no women & girls will be allowed to travel alone without a mahram (male accompany). Their earlier restrictions included:
در افغانستان که نیم نفوس اش مرد است، ماسک پوشیدن چند مرد معنی ندارد. اگر قرار میبود مردان افغان برای زنان کاری میکردند، ۹ ماه منتظر این همه فاجعه نمیبودند.
We need more of such interviews. Confront the Taliban for their clear human right violation & hold them into account on record just like this. Thank you @PiersUncensored
"So YOUR daughters get an education because they do what you tell them."
Piers makes the point after the Taliban's spokesman Suhail Shaheen admits his daughters get an education, unlike many females in Afghanistan.

۱. دعوت میشوند که صدای مردم افغانستان باشند ولی بالای افغان استم و نیستم جنجال میکنند. حیف ات افغانستان حیف- رسانه های افغانستان باید تنها آنهای را دعوت کند که به افغانستان،مردم اش،وضعیت فعلی دلسوزی دارد، پیام و راه حل دارند. مه فکر میکردم افغانستان چپه شد اصلاح شدیم ولی نخیر!
Humanity still exist! Watch the video- Elin Ersson did not let the plane take off- She told passengers there is a 54 years old man who is forced to go to #Afghanistan where he can get killed! She made my morning! #RefugeesWelcomefacebook.com/elin.k.ersson/v…
Afghan women are back on streets- women are protesting in Herat calling for their rights to education. Knowing how dangerous Taliban are and still resisting their draconian decrees and actions need bravely and only women and girls in 🇦🇫 can do it.
#EndGenderPersecution
A group of women held a protest outside the Taliban governor’s office in the city of Heart on Thursday, calling for the removal of the new ban on medical education for women.
They also called for ensuring women and girls' right to education.
The rally was held as the Taliban this week banned women and girls from medical education.
6 years ago-This was Eid Day too.I was in #KabulJan,among family & friends.we had home,fair space to work & live.
Former Gov officials,warlords,politicians & international community betrayed us & sold our happiness to a terrorist group-made us homeless.
I wont forget & forgive!
طالب!!! ایمان ات را قوی کن، پشت عطر و بوت و رنگ لباس من نگرد. به مردان به صورت عام در افغانستان متاسف استم، طالب چی تعریف بدی از شما دارد. شما در صدای کوری بوت زنان تحریک میشوید؟ اگر نه، اعتراض کنید!!!
After a year of consultations and working with HRDs we launched the Afghanistan HRDs Protection Strategy today. I am proud to be small part of this work. Time to lobby for implementation,funding and monitor its progress. #BRAVE#شجاع
We welcome Afghanistan Second Vice President Sarwar Danish's participation today at the launch of the
Afghanistan Human Rights Defenders Protection Strategy and the important commitment he made on behalf of Afghan government to implement this strategy.
طالب وداعش وقتی انتحاری میکنند ، از شهادت مردم تجلیل میکنند،ما هم کنیم؟ فرق ما و آنها چیست؟ با تویت های زهرآگین تان در باره مدافعین حقوق بشر زن، نه فرخنده زنده میشود و نه نیازی و نه چیزی تغیر میکند. خود را مدافع حقوق بشر بگویم و از مرگ کسیتجلیل کنیم، جدی؟
گفتند داعش در افغانستان شکست خورد،حالا در هر حمله طالب محکوم میکند،میگوید کار ما نیست،آیا افغانستان دشمن جدید پیدا کرده؟ ملا امام مسجد وزیر اکبر خان از قران وحدیث میگفت بالای او چرا حمله؟در افغانستان چی جریان دارد؟در خانه،شفاخانه، مسجد همه جا حمله میکنند،پس کجا مصون است؟
This is my message this International Women's Day for Afghan Women. We have been part of the society politically, socially, culturally since 1919 and no one can deny it. #SpeakUpforAfghanWomen#IWD2022
"Women's rights in Afghanistan is not a result of 20 years. This is where my mother, her mother and generations have been working on. This is a wrong narrative. This is an excuse by the Taliban to repress women to call a western agenda."
@HuriaSamira#SpeakUpForAfghanWomen
اول- حافظه تاریخی افغان های بسیار ضعیف است. با یک رویداد، رویداد دیگر را فراموش میکنند. شما دهه نود، جنگ های داخلی،تلفات ملکی، تجاوز و وحشت بالای زنان، گور های دسته جمعی، فرار مردم که نتیجه جهاد گفته میشد را نمیتوانید با دو انگشت پنهان کنید و امروز از انها قهرمان بسازید.
Update on women’s rights in Afghanistan today- Knowing they can face guns,bullets & violence women are out again. Their demand is straight forward- “We women are awake, we are disgusted by discrimination and women are the voices of starving people”. They chant #WorkFoodFreedom
1.2014, I protested in Cardiff/UK around NATO Summit for lack of inclusion of Afghan women & women globally in peace & security. Today it resonates the most with women situation in AFG🇦🇫.This is to all Taliban supporters & trolls 😊. #TalktoMeNotAboutMe

1.Dear friends, followers and colleagues,
Thank you so much for reaching out to me through calls, messages and email. I am physically fine but mentally devastated, broken and hurt with what is happening to Afghanistan that I love the most and have worked very hard for.
ریس جمهور @ashrafghani شما به والی و قومندان امنیه بلخ اخطار داده بودید که اگر عبدالروف را از نجات ندهند آنها برطرف خواهند شد. نه عبدالروف پیدا شد و نه این افراد بی کفایت برطرف. شما حتی به یک طفل در افغانستان کاری کرده نمیتوانید؟ شرم آور نیست؟
#عبدالروف_را_خانه_بیاورید
#BREAKING- We have documented, verified, spoken to HRDs, WHRDs, Journalists who have faced intimidation & violence by the Taliban since 15 August 2021. This report by @amnesty@fidh_en@omctorg is an eye opener that Afghans are severe risks on repression and violence.
The Taliban have attempted to portray to the world that they will respect human rights, but contrary to their reassurance, they continue to harass human rights defenders & journalists, and women's rights continue to be violated. Read more in our report. amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2…
ریس صاحب حامد کرزی، چرا با آن عده زنان و دختران که در سرک ها برامدند و حق خود را میخواهند ملاقات نمیکنید؟ چرا در قسمت مشارکت زنان کاری نمیکنید؟ شما از ۲۰۰۱-۲۰۰۹ در قسمت مشارکت برابر زنان مسولیت های داشتین، حال چرا در قسمت نگهداری دستاورد های زنان و نقش شان خاموش استین؟@KarzaiH
حامدکرزی رئیس جمهور پيشین افغانستان روز شنبه با تعدادی از بزرگان، علمای کرام دین و جوانان ولایات مرکزی کشور ملاقات کرد. در این دیدار صحبت کننده گان خواهان صلح و ثبات کامل در کشور شدند و اظهار امیدواری نمودند که کابینهٔ سرپرست هر چی زودتر همه شمول شده تا همه مردم افغانستان …
The silence of @OIC_OCI & Muslim countries like Qatar,Indonesia,Saudi Arabia,UAE on Taliban vice & virtue law that has turned Shariah & Islam to a joke is sickening.These countries have guts to speak in support of Taliban but not against them & their vicious actions.Shame on you!
#Afghanistan
Since 49 days Afghan Women are not allowed to resume their jobs
Since 16 days, girls above grade 6 are not allowed to go to school
Taliban abandoning women & girls freedom,achievements & contributions is what women advocates had predicted/ feared for 10 years
UPDATE- WEEK TWO
1. No Gov Struture,2.Banks still closed,3. Gov offices closed,4. IDPs in crises,5.Dozens of HRDs,women activists & journalists at risk, 5.Women told to stay at home, 6. No Music, 7. House search humiliatingly,7.Ppl beaten up on streets, 8. extrajudicial killings

The testimony of Elaha, a medical student about her forced marriage, rape & torture by a powerful Armed Talib is shocking reality of what dozens of women & girls are facing. @UNAMAnews@SR_Afghanistan@PotzelMarkus must immediately act to save her. She can be harmed further.
خانمی در ویدیو میگوید من از خراسان استم، افغانستان را نمیشناسم و احمد مسعود تمام افغانستان را نمایندگی میکند.اول از همین خانم پرسان شود وقتی از افغانستان برامد، کیس پناهندگی داد و قبولی گرفت پاسپورت افغانستان داشت یا خراسان. دوم احمد مسعود شاید نماینده خودت باشد نه از تمام مردم.
#Breaking- Afghan women protesting in Kabul street again- their slogan Work, Education, Freedom- they say Taliban commit crimes & international community support them. Their bravery is beyond imagination. These women’s voices should be heard.
گروهی از زنان امروز در شهر کابل در منطقهی دشت برچی دست به اعتراض خیابانی زدند.
این معترضان در حالی دست به اعتراض زدند که طالبان محدودیتهای شدید علیه زنان وضع کردند.
Remember Afghanistan has FIVE million people displaced by conflict. They are in urgent need of humanitarian support. This has to get addressed immediately to avoid human disaster. #UniteForAfghanistan
🇦🇫 Afghanistan is home to millions of internally displaced people. They have no access to housing, clean water, healthcare, etc. This crisis cannot be ignored.
The international community must ensure continued humanitarian aid to Afghanistan. #UniteForAfghanistan
