The story of Afghans in Iran is not one of hospitality, but a long record of intimidation and deep disrespect for their identity and dignity. For more than four decades, the Iranian regime has mercilessly stripped Afghans of their basic human rights. They have been denied education, pushed into addiction, sent to fight on battlefields — whether in Iran’s wars in Iraq or more recently in Syria — and consistently forced into hard labor with virtually no rights or protections. Now, in the midst of Afghanistan’s severe crisis under Taliban rule and a collapsing economy, Iran has chosen to expel hundreds of thousands of Afghan refugees. This shows just how little regard the Iranian state has for any sense of cultural kinship or shared neighborhood with the Afghan people. What is perhaps most disturbing is the silence of so-called Afghan leaders in the diaspora. These were the very people who rushed to issue statements of solidarity with Iran mere hours after its 12-day war with Israel began, yet they have shown no sympathy for the thousands now being driven out of Iran. Unless we learn to raise our voices and stand up for our own people, no one else will do it for us.
@baharmhr You accomplished three things for Afghaniyat here: - Call us Afghan - Vilify a neighboring country to present Afghans as perpetual blameless victims - Try to unite people around a failed nation state As a bonus you threw the resistance under the bus.
@baharmhr @SediqSediqqi چیرته ده دي هغه فارس کبیر، دایران خواخوږي، فاطمیون، او اهل تشیع چې ځان پر ایران قربانوي. ستاسو عزت اوی صرف افغان خاوره کې ده ، بل ځای نشته
@baharmhr Afghans will always be slaves and are happy to be. Hamas & Palestinians, & more globally Arabs are all pro Taliban, but you have these نوکرها caring about Gaza. Iran mistreat refugees and support Taliban, and these نوکرها struck again, crying when Israel was kicking that ass.
