This is what extermination looks like. Ordinary people. Not powerful people. People who went about their lives and were killed for their beliefs. Everyday people who were never a threat to anyone, they were used to direct the rage of a nation to keep tyrants in power.

A war on education. A war on women. Control ruled by fear where the State will hunt you down and imprison you for being a teacher.

Most #NGO aren't humanitarian, they're "misery mercenaries", the money goes and so do they. They aren't there for good, just grants.

More Al Qaeda killed In #Afghanisyan and the Talibs ask for recognition in the same time frame. 🤔

@OlgaNYC1211 Captured in 2008, but point taken. That is odd.

If you believe recognizing the Taliban's IEA will improve conditions, that it will not inspire more terrorist governments around the world, if you think they will separate from Jihad and terrorism -- you're insane.

The only real noises that came out of the IEA in September were "how do we remove sanctions?". It wasn't how do we deal with the collapsing banking system? It wasn't how do we honor the amnesty? It wasn't how do we prepare for winter?

In a museum in #Kabul , the Taliban donated a suicide vest, its remote controller and a phone used to detonate hand-made mines. In the video, a part of the suicide vest shows how it was designed to maximise the damage by using spikes.

The Taliban if they believe girls shouldn’t be educated should stop using: WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth communication systems. This is all dependent from inventions from Austrian-American Actress, Hedi Lamar.

1/ Here’s the honest truth. However bad you think it is in Afghanistan, this is the prelude. The violence you’re seeing with Ansari in Herat is spill from factionalism. The Haqqanis are powerless at this point and already ceded. They are preparing to run.

@saadmohseni that is so irresponsibly phrased and damaging for someone in a position of influence. We have researched and documented targeted killings, ethnic cleansing with evidence and corroboration. If you aren’t you’re not doing journalism right
