@anwaltsgelaber Naja, dass es faktisch als Apartheidsstaat agiert ist ist von seriöser Seite so ziemlich unwidersprochen. Der Rest war Holocaust-Verharmlosung.

At this point every sympathy I had for the new government is gone. I still prefer them over the previous one, but I’m out of words for the shit they’re putting Afghans through, and I’m in awe of all the new stupidity we hear about each day.

@der_deutscher @stephanpalagan „Wir essen jetzt.“, ist die gesamte Begründung. Wir kennen es aber auch aus unserer Kindheit nicht anders, daher belassen wir es dabei. Uns ist wichtiger, dass unsere Kinder unsere Kultur lernen, als dass wir gleiches mit gleichem vergelten.

Not „mysteriously“. It was the „Jamiatyaan“. We (his family) are convinced of it, although we can’t prove it. We all knew something like this would happen, because he was too proud to have guards around him at all times, and he wouldn’t budge.

@NajibFarhodi1 We were team Hekmatyar then, but it’s fair to admit that at least until ’89 every one of these resistance fighters was a hero, incl. Massoud. One can argue about the details of who colluded with whom, but one can’t argue about many of them giving their life for Afgh. & Islam.

I can foresee these kids’ future, I have seen this many times before, and the mother plays the most important role here. I do advocate for compulsory education up to 10th/12th grade, because a child does not have the mental capacity to understand if and how it benefits her. (3/4)

The soldiers who apprehended Wadi'a last week after he allegedly threw rocks at a settler's car were chastised not for detaining the boy, but for being caught doing so by a rights group's cameras.

What @DrTalAbdulrazaq says is spot-on. And as he added in a comment, AT should stay away from social media for a while and truly understand what Islam is. Not just the praying and believing part, but also what comes along with it: the way you talk and the way you convey (1/2)

The (free) schools run by my mom’s NGO has girls aged 6 - 24 attending, and they also give out lots of stuff to them (clothes, pens, papers, food for the family etc.). They’re in the Taliban stronghold of Nengarhar, and have no trouble with the Taliban at all, just the opposite.

The Palestinian “state” they’re trying to sell us. The light green parts are “fully” autonomous (with daily “Israeli” military incursions, though), and the green ones are partially autonomous. Is this what a healthy and viable state looks like? Image via @tamimat

@younasejazi @paykhar I think it’s important to criticise the Taliban, to hold them accountable, watch their every move and step and not accept them as they are. But if you do that on a public stage, such as U.N. institutions, then you’re basically running to the former invaders and ask them for help.

@JournalismPopal When I grew up in the 80ies the Jihad was against the occupying forces, not other ethnicities. I, as a Pashtun, learned some (decent) Dari, because the alleged „Pashtun-only“ Hezb-i-Islami of Hekmatyar was mostly comprised of non-Pashtuns here in the Diaspora.

And if you (specifically Afghans) are scared your daughter might turn into some kind of "prostitute" if you send her to school then remember that that’d be on you as a parent. Their failures are 110% yours until they’ve fully mentally developed. (4/4)

TOTAL expenses per MONTH: = AFN 220,000 = ~EUR 2,200 Does this sound halfway realistic, or are these numbers totally off? My mom’s NGO is trying to establish this as its third permanent project (the other two are two schools for 390 girls), and she’s looking for funding. (4/4)
