Stop pretending that the Taliban are anything other than what they have always been: a brutal, misogynist gang of murderous drug-dealing terrorists who use religion as a cover for a dictatorship of fear.

Happy Independence Day to Pakistan & India (Bharat), twins born at midnight of August 15, 1947 at the end of British Raj. May the two of you finally figure out how to live side by side in peace, and focus on centuries of shared history than decades of partition. 🇵🇰🇮🇳

My take: The military takeover of Kabul 3 years remains one of the darkest chapters in Afghanistan’s contemporary history. A chaotic U.S/NATO withdrawal, a precipitous collapse&resurrection of the Taliban epitomized a monumental failure by all stakeholders. What’s next in 2025 👇🏼

I’m a doctor originally from Afghanistan who is now proudly serving people of all backgrounds in NHS. Despite the fear of violence against my faith & background, I won't be intimated. UK is my home & I will continue to help anyone who needs it. We shouldn't give in to racism.
