I’ve been trying to reach my family since morning. Phones are not working either. It feels like Afghanistan is a black hole now.

The massacre of hundreds of Afghan refugees by Iranian border guards constitutes crimes against humanity. The sheer brutality unleashed against vulnerable Afghans seeking refuge from persecution is highly distressing. The international community continues to fail Afghans.

The Pakistani spy agency and the Taliban are downplaying the Pashtun National Jirga, supported by millions, which, as the true voice of the Pashtuns, demands women’s rights and an end to Talibanization, undermining the Taliban’s claim of representation.

One of the harshest methods of mass punishment by the oppressor are extrajudicial abductions. Besides the missing person, whole families and sometimes even villages are mentally tortured. Families are waiting in agony to hear about the fate of their loved ones. Death would be

The laws of Pakistan are not made by the people. They were made by the British colonial rulers and were meant to serve them, not the people. They were a tool of oppression. Their Pakistani successors have kept those laws in place in order to keep serving the oppressing

Heart-wrenching testimonies from #PashtunNationalCourt11October. It's been 15 years since Mahmood's nephew, Tariq, went missing in Waziristan. “Tariq went to school & never returned. His father has passed away, & his mother is no longer mentally stable.” https://t.co/YVkO58LYjH

PTM leader Manzoor Pashteen proposed to the National Jirga that every district contribute three thousand young men to create a ‘National Army’ of 240,000, posing a significant challenge for Pakistan and potentially reshaping the region’s power dynamics.
