The world is too busy with conflicts in Gaza/West Bank, Ukraine and the South China Sea right now to notice this tragedy unfolding in Afghanistan. Almost 2m Afghan refugees are being forced back home (on a few weeks notice)

Today I am at Torkham, on the Afghan border with Pakistan, where 10s of thousands of Afghans have gathered, having been expelled from Pakistan. >2,000 families have crossed here in the past 24 hours. We’re seeing perhaps the largest forced expulsion in the world since the 1950s.

Today, CPJ hosted a panel discussion in Ramallah introducing our report, "Deadly Pattern: 20 journalists died by Israeli military fire in 22 years. No one has been held accountable." In attendance were the families of three journalists killed by the Israel Defense Forces in the last 20 years— #ShireenAbuAkleh, Imad Abu Zahra, and Nazih Darwazeh.

It's out! Months of research and tons of coffee later, "Deadly Pattern," the report I wrote for the Committee for the Protection of Journalists was released to the world. My findings reveal how the #Israeli army whitewashes its killings of journalists. teapawt.org/pressfreedom/status/16…

The Islamic Republic is using a computer system called SIAM, which works behind the scenes of Iranian cellular networks, to track the movements of individuals, break the encryption of phone calls and invisibly quash the protests, internal documents obtained by @theintercept show.

#BREAKING Analysts say far white Shite Christianist anti-math militants could take over disease-ravaged, violence-racked US within months as resistance from regime of aging, unpopular, ineffectual ruler, Joe Biden, crumbles, with many calling on African nations to intervene.

U.S. is rejecting over 90% of Afghans seeking to enter the country on humanitarian grounds

The U.S. last year resettled tens of thousands of Afghans following the Taliban takeover. But it left behind many at-risk Afghans, including family members of U.S. military translators.

As an Afghan refugee in Iran, I was deprived of my right to education the first time the Taliban were around. But I graduated with a master's degree in Communication and Culture & a diploma in Asian Studies in 2020, and now doing my Ph.D. (Due to covid, convocation was today.)
