Floods in #Afghanistan : 400 bodies have been found so far, with hundreds still missing. Most of the victims are women and children. In #Baghlan province, several villages have been completely swept away by the flood. The Taliban are incapable of managing and resolving this crisis

People in Baghlan have tragically lost their lives & homes due to floods. Numerous GoFundMe campaigns have been established to gather donations. Please consider contributing to trusted links, as these communities are confronting dire circumstances.

My heart goes out for our people in Baghlan province where severe flood has claimed 100s of lives.

Local inhabitants say they have never witnessed such flood in their province.

I hope UN agencies & NGOs immediately provide life saving assistance to the affected communities.

The EU Chargé d'affaires met with Taliban leadership, wearing not one, not two, but three scarves.

What was achieved from this meeting? The visibility & vocality of int'l diplomatic delegations can signal a lot to the Taliban & women of 🇦🇫. Three years was a long time to learn!

The Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission called the incident genocide against Hazaras and femicide. The Commission urged the UN to establish a commission of inquiry to investigate this and similar incidents, as the Ghani administration failed to do so.

Today marks the 3rd anniversary of the triple bombing at Sayed-ul Shuhada school in Dasht-e-Barch, killing +85 Hazara girls, 100s wounded, 1000s traumatised.

No perpetrator was brought to justice!

The teenage survivors never received therapy & healing.

Dear Friends,
Please join me to support the work of PORSESH POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE. This is the first ever PR's annual community fundraising initiative! With our focus on the most marginalized communities, your contribution will make a difference where it matters most.👇

Like previous Afghan government, Taliban have not taken adequate measures to protect Hazaras and other communities at risk or provide assistance to survivors of attacks, though they are responsible for ensuring the safety of all Afghans.

Second day of protest with bare hands against the terrorist regime chants: “Death to the Taliban”

In my engagements, one excuse often arises: there is no opposition. It's important to recognize that people of #Afg are the opposition, who are left as prey to a terrorist group.

We are proud to announce that Zan Times has won the 2024 Human Rights Press Awards in “Newsroom in Exile” category for thier report on the growing numbers of women committing suicide under the Taliban repression. Congratulations Zahra Nader and the team! hrw.org/news/2024/05/0…

On this #WorldPressFreedomDay , I'm grateful for the unwavering courage of women journalists in Afg, who persist despite the grip of Taliban terror. Also, I celebrate Zahra Nader, Zahra Joya, Fatima Roshanian, and Tamana Aref, whose work I have relied on and learned from.

Exactly 2 years today after taking up my role as UN Special Rapporteur Richard Bennett the video below is posted as a moment to reflect and to recommit to standing up for the human rights of #Afghan s and to standing with the many brave #Afghan human rights defenders.

If you got a chance to watch the first documentary on اطلاعات روز | Etilaatroz , it’s worth watching this one too while accessible online. Thank you Zaki Daryabi for the years of commitment 2 tell d untold stories of collapse.
