“So here we are. Still speaking up, occupying space, trying to be acknowledged and heard. We have built bridges with the #Taliban on different levels but we have not compromised our values.” A year of activism in #Afghanistan. My Op-Ed for Washington Post

There is no justification for bombing #Qatar, a global mediator, attempting to find an end to the genocide in Gaza. Israel's blatant acts of aggression and transgression must be condemned and stopped.

The first major quake struck just after midnight on Monday at a depth of only six miles, killing more than 2,200 people, levelling villages and trapping people under rubble.

During this crisis, let us prioritize humanitarian aid for the people of Afghanistan and refrain from engaging in political discussions. Afghanistan is deeply affected by the recent earthquake, and its aftermath has exacerbated challenges faced by the broader Afghan community.

The Pashto/Dari term for army is “Urdu” the etymology of which goes back to the term Orde in the Turkic languages. Orde is also the basis of the English term Horde. Genghis Khan referred to his chiefly court as Orde.
