La @BBCNews sta di nuovo ricevendo molte critiche nel Regno Unito, stavolta per un'inchiesta che ha denunciato come diverse calciatrici afgane arrivate nel paese in fuga dai talebani non sarebbero in realtà giocatrici di calcio.

Nel novembre 2021, 35 calciatrici afgane e le loro famiglie (130 persone in tutto) sono state accolte nel Regno Unito, dopo essere scappate dal loro paese in Pakistan, da cui poi hanno ottenuto rifugio in UK.

Ma secondo la testata britannica, 13 di esse non sarebbero in realtà state giocatrici del Herat Youth Team, come dichiarato nella domanda per il visto d'ingresso in UK. La domanda legittima è: fa differenza se fossero o no giocatrici di calcio?

Bier-Affäre in Afghanistan - Untersuchungsausschuss klärt auf! Ein #Thread. (…)
Von vielen vergessen & trotzdem wichtig. Heute tagt im Bundestag seit Stunden wieder der #Untersuchungsausschuss zu #Afghanistan. Ich will Euch zwei Geschichten daraus erzählen. Eine lustige - und eine traurige. Erst die lustige. (…)
In #Afghanistan hatten die deutschen Soldaten zeitweise sehr, sehr, sehr viel Bier, Wein, Alkohol. 23.000 Liter. Dabei galt - formell - zunächst die Zwei-Dosen-Regelung: Zwei Dosen pro Soldat pro Tag. Jedenfalls theoretisch. Dann wurde das einem General zu viel. (…)

The humanitarian situation in Afghanistan has worsened drastically. Especially in the harsh winter, shortcomings in social protection, food insecurity, and economic instability are bringing Afghanistan in a difficult position. /2
The international community has reacted with harsh criticism to the ban of women from universities and local and international organizations. The latter prompted some INGOs to suspend their humanitarian work. /3
