Now 4 weeks since politics in Afghanistan went full-circle to 2001.Contradictions,life lessons abound. NATO is out. War is declared over. Roads are open. Yet guns, gun-bearers remain loud. Frauds,thieves, posers,trolls fled—while many promising plants have also been uprooted.1/9

Thread. KANDAHAR. Offensively labeled the “heartland” of Talibs. Beyond the labels are a people geared up for better times. Color me hopeful. Many Kandaharis give a sense that the tough times are behind them. A little tribute to that spirit, to build on it. See here on: 1/16

AFG needs deescalation.Deescalate rhetoric,violence,use of force. Public life & what is (sadly) left of institutions is at risk. A Gov that relied on & even armed “public uprisings” cannot be a persuasive “anti-militias” actor. Time to consolidate non-Taliban AFG, not fragment.

Research shows men perpetrate 99.9 % of bloodshed in Afghanistan. Men must end their war, urgently. Men must repent. The healing, building a successful Afghanistan there on depends on women and men, combined and competitive beyond these. Many such sleeves rolled up, equally.

سال هاست كه آزادي ها در افغانستان هم ريشه مي گيرند و هم پايمال مي شوند.لذت و زيبايي زندگي در پرورش آزادي ها است. بشمول آزادي مرد ها از بند "مردسالاري" كه روزانه دها زندگي را تباه ميكند.ريشه هاي آزادي ها كه ساقه پيدا كرده اند، آبشان دهيم و جنسيت شان مپرسيم. وطن باغ شان باد.
قرن هاست مردان و جامعه مردسالار تلاش می کنند صدای زنان را خفه سازند. فحش، دشنام و برچسب فساد زدن یکی از آسان‌ترین راه های تهدید و ارعاب زنان تلقی می شود. نسلی از زنان همیشه بوده اند که تسلیم این ارعاب نشده اند و تعداد این زنان در حال افزایش است. ما میدان را خالی نخواهیم کرد.

Afghanistan is fertile ground. Much can grow on it. In the procese we have a choice. We plant, nurture hope. Or we let fear harm on. Fear has representations, roots here. Hopes, big or small, are rather newly sprouting. Outcome is ours to shape. With hope and with vigilance.
As an Afg citizen, every day, I have to choose hope over fear to go on. To leave the house, to continue working, to raise a child, to believe something better is possible for us all. But will the process & d outcome, respond to our biggest hopes or represent our biggest fears?

In this place called Afghanistan, tragedies are commemorated by bigger, bloodier tragedies. This day last year, below was the count. This week in the same Nangrahar, ~all men of a whole village got killed. Inhuman brutality, indefensible failings.
One attack in Nangrahar caused 70 widows and 345 orphans. Inhuman brutality and failings.

Amongst our people—there is greater respect and greater awareness of rights than ever before. Just to specify. On institutionalizing rights and liberties for all, we have a long way to go.
“There’s greater respect for rights than ever before “ says

but underlines that most people in
#Afghanistan
are living “in an humanitarian catastrophe or on the brink of it “

If it is about “representation”, these women(& men) represent the close to ultimate. They live, pioneer and mark life and liberties despite/beyond Afghanistan’s tragic now. Godspeed to anyone cultivating and nurturing life, liberties here—and more power to them to do it for all.
There is always a group of women showcased in Afghanistan doing:
- Kungfu
- Playing an Instrumente
- Motocross
- Yoga
- Robotics
- Orchestera
- Bicycling
- & so on...
They don’t even represent women in the capital Kabul, rural Afghanistan is faded to far.

Pointless postures & bluster does not end bloody cycles. A major city of ours & its people are suffering for 4 consecutive days. We gotta do better. All lives—whether in Pul e Khumri, Pul e Maalan or Pul e Artal—ought to count. Kudos to

for the brave reality checks.

This “exchanged views” level is too luxurious for the times.Outside the palaces,countless Afghans get killed; more roads get blocked; infrastructure and opportunities blown up; fear,failures,violence entrenched...Could these exchange of views switch to actions for peace, please?

Attempt at mending a mother’s broken-heart. Police commander in Zhari, Kandahar condoles family of the suicide bomber who targeted the same young commander. This country’s tragedy and need condensed in one act. Maybe, maybe at last we Afghans are begging to mend, to walk peace.

In Kabul, avail them open ears and rolled up sleeves. Listen, relate and respond. No selfies please. They do not like how we have done or do things out of here. This is as much a march for peace as a march against the wrongs of all that are costing our destitute the most.
“They are marching to say this: that the war has turned into a monster with a life of its own, feeding on the poor at the rate of more than 50 a day. The longer it drags on, the more difficult it becomes to reach a settlement.”

A grieved father’s rightful search for answers. And perhaps some justice. Lives in Afghanistan must begin to matter. For much too long, Afghan parents have had to burry their uprooted, killed offsprings. In this letter,Yama‘s father calls for end to deadly indifference.

Negotiations involving a broad group that represents all of Afghanistan—not just its senior politicians—are the only way to achieve a lasting settlement.

Sensitivity to the sound of rockets is human. Even the firecrackers on Kabul streets should shake us. And get us to stop them. No pride in not shaking while rockets or bombs or firecrackers repeatedly take or disrupt lives in
#AFG
. Indifference, empty-bravado is the problem.1/2
Those, who make fun of VP Saleh’s very normal reaction when rocket attacks happened, would probably wet their pants if they were in his place in the presidential palace today.

Tragic comedy. We had to wait for four years of “reform” of elections institutions to get this? Afghanistan’s NUG deserves a Nobel for Good Governance (if it doesn’t exist, make one).
IEC: "Afghanistan is not in a situation that violating an article of the constitution should be considered."
Not sure to laugh or to cry.
@IECAfghanistan
be our guest and violate them all! What a shame.

needs 2 urgently move on from this mess,nothing will. Watch,read the transcript. Anything. Abundant shouts,platitudes& incoherence.Clapping to compliments when it is least deserved.
As

& many other parts of Afg burn, the Presidential Office is busy with a celebration of Youth Day where gov picked speakers shower it with praise that would make Soviet era leaders blush. Meanwhile, a mere 100kms away, fighting over the control of Ghazni city continues.
