I beg to differ. My parents didn’t escape from Afghanistan over 40 years ago because they enjoyed drinking tea with the Taliban.

Your write up is exactly like what we were discussing at home. It's just they want to appease as of now so that they can settle the rule. No one fly off is what they want to achieve.

Yeah like who's going to believe that they're for women education.

It's now a humanitarian crisis

They’ve done this before. Made promises of peace and the moment international pressures eased, they went back on their word.

I’ve lost sleep these countless nights thinking about Afghanistan. In fact, seeing certain people celebrate the fall of Afghanistan on twitter had reduced me to tears. I have family there. How can anyone be so heartless to celebrate something like this? A hateful woman even tweeted “Need to sleep but I’m afraid I’ll miss the news of Kabul falling. Taliban pause your offensive against the capital Kabul until I wake up” Trash-minded people who are celebrating are doing so in the comfort of their own homes. I’d like to drag them into the den of Talibans and see how much they enjoy living in a country under their regime.

For anyone that wants a brief summary of what’s going on - please watch this 6 minute video. This guy sums it up perfectly.

Now the information I’ll be giving does not mean this is what I believe. I’m simply relaying what has been said to me. We’ve contacted family in Afghanistan to see how everyone is coping. There’s a lot of mixed information coming through. I don’t even know what to believe anymore. I had relatives and family friends report that Taliban had come knocking on their doors, giving everyone their mobile numbers and telling them that they are not here to fight. They want everyone to stay indoors until things are settled. They do not want bloodshed, they just want Afghanistan to be ruled by Afghans and not with foreign interference. They urged people to not believe what is being said in the media and acknowledged that their approach in the past had been wrong. They are telling residents to contact them if anyone harasses them blah blah.

Taliban spokesman spoke to Yalda Hakim (Afghan Journalist) on BBC and this was a rough summary of what was being said:

The spokesman said that they will be an inclusive government and even welcome America to help (construction/development etc), education for women will be allowed, all women are to wear hijab (not burqa), the government will be following Islamic law with a court system, and finally they don’t want people leaving out of fear, they recognise the need of intellectuals to help further build the country.

I don’t trust anything being said. This can be similar to any speech politicians feed people before getting elected. This can all be bullshit just to calm and appease residents, stopping them from fleeing the country. There is an ulterior motive. I just want the bloodshed and war to end. Afghanistan has not tasted peace or freedom for over 40 years. When will it be enough? How much more blood of innocents is needed before the world just leaves Afghanistan the fuck alone.

The Talibans have learned the art of diplomacy and negotiations. Wow.

They seem more dangerous now - other countries can't interfere because it will lead to bloodshed. They might put up a 'progressive' appearance but we may never know what really happens unless we have experienced it.

All those 20 years have gone to waste. 😭

To all the Indians and Pakistanis here - sooner or later - the effect will spill over to our country in varied ways. It concerns us too.

I saw this video couple of weeks back - this is an easy explanation:

So much that they want you to come join their tea party. Please do attend.

There are limits to joking around Arsalan. Yours was done in poor taste. Have some compassion and think before you speak.

My family is originally from Kandahar. The helplessness and pain is real. I feel like my mum has aged overnight from the distress this has been causing.

Shireen Mazari, the Defence Minister of Pakistan has made a tweet comparing the victory of Taliban to the US defeats in Vietnam and Saigon.

Like, how off the rockers a country's whole ADMINISTRATION could be, that the Defence Minister could post something as inane and nonsensical as this.

That book is a gem. I cried my eyes out for Miriam.
