The catalogue of Talibanic vices and virtues is long, as we know and as we can see. The first and last imperative in this catalogue deals with women. What a poor imagination and what a poor culture and what a poor country!

Ironic it may sound, it is as if the Taliban emirate is a kind of ivory tower whose only Achilles heel is woman. Nothing, neither reason nor common sense, can penetrate into this ivory tower yet it falls apart the moment a woman’s voice enters it.

In The Brothers Karamazov, Dimitri asks Starov, « What must I do to win salvation? » and Starov replies, « Above all else, never lie to yourself. »

دیدن و درک رنج دیگری یگانه موتور محرک همدلی در میان انسان ها است. در میان ما این موتور خاموش است.

The PTM activist Gilaman Wazir, who was attacked, has died. A loss for the Pashtun rights movement in Pakistan. Where there is oppression there is resistance.

كوچي گري پدیده سیاسی است. سیاسی است چون کوچی تنها رمه ندارد؛ اسلحه و فرمان هم دارد و از حمایت سیاسی حکومت نیز برخوردار است. در این نوشته، بسم الله علیزاده در مورد پدیده ای حرف می زند که هم محصول تاریخ است و هم امتداد تاریخ: تاریخ منازعه کوچی و هزاره.

Kosha offers a concise yet insightful analysis of American Days in Afghanistan during the previous 20 years. Even though I may not totally agree with his viewpoint and phrasing, I believe this is a really honest testimony that greatly contributes to our understanding of the…

1. Nothing written about Afghanistan after the 15th of August 2021 is as brutally honest as this long article by @asad_tarkan. I always craved to write a testimony like this, but if I’m honest, my lens is not as thick and precise as Asad’s.

After the fall of Kabul, I was desperately seeking for words to describe what had happened and to reconstruct what had disappeared. American Days in Afghanistan is the story of what I saw and understood during the years I lived and worked in Afghanistan. thegeopolitics.com/american-days-…

بسم الله علی زاده در این یادداشت بر مشکلی انگشت گذاشته است که صرفاً به آقای گلزاری خلاصه نمی شود. یک جمع آدم های با حسن نیت اما فاقد روش شناسی چیزهایی به نام متن تاریخی سر هم می بافند که چیزی را در مورد پیچیدگی گذشته و سردرگمی اکنون هزاره ها توضیح نمی دهد.

The everyday difficulty of journalism in or for Afghanistan is that it is unable to sustain itself. Despite this existential threat, The ER continues to exist. This is good news for us and for everyone who wants Afghanistan to become a country where everyone has a real voice.
