These are the faces of two journalists - Nehmatullah, 28, and Taqi, 22 - who were detained, brutally beaten and flogged - one of them for hours - by the Taliban. Both carry severe injuries. The reason? They wanted to do their jobs; they were out in #Kabul reporting. #Afghanistan

On its first evacuation flight, #Germany took just SEVEN people from #Kabul ,the Foreign Ministry has confirmed.The capacity of the A-400M transport aircraft is up to 150 people.The airport was full of people desperate to leave,many of whom had visas for third countries. SHAMEFUL!

#Balkhab .A thread.1/14 First tweet on #Balkhab as there was a lot of info to digest&I wanted to speak to ppl there to make sense of it.Didn’t want to make unverified assumptions,so I did research&digging. In the process,all the info added up&wasn’t contradictory. So bear w/ me.

"I'm hearing sirens, does this mean the Russians are in the city? They just started and I don't know what to do." Woke up to this voice message from my dear friend in Lviv. Her voice shaking in fear. In August she fled #Kabul ; today she says she wants to flee #Ukraine .

Snippets from #Kabul .More than 200 displaced families remain in Shar-e-Naw park,most had fled the northern provinces of Kunduz, Badakhshan, Takhar. They now say they want to go home, but can't afford it. Transportation for a whole family costs around,10k Afghani ($117) they say.

Abdul Akbari, 22 years old and from Paktia; public policy student in his last year, injured in yesterday's attack, recovering in hospital. His words: "We're a generation trying to make #Afghanistan great again."

It's been almost 9 months.Soraya,20,was one of the mothers who survived the attack on the maternity hospital in #Kabul 's Dasht-e-Barchi last year. Her daughter Nazanine, who was injured, is healthy today. The trauma? Soraya carries it with her, but says she had also been lucky.
