[THREAD] 2 years ago today, @POTUS announced that the U.S. would withdraw its military from #Afghanistan.
He did so fully knowing that at-risk Afghans were stuck in the visa backlog. When the withdrawal was complete, the majority of #AfghanAllies had been left behind.

Last week, the WH released a report acknowledging that evacuations should have begun sooner.
That report confirms what #Afghans and advocates predicted and have long known -- that the U.S. did too little too late to get at-risk Afghans to safety.

For years, processing delays kept #SIV applicants from resettling in the United States. A U.S. court ruled in 2019 that the delays were unreasonable.

Background: After 20 years in #Afghanistan, the U.S. ended our military presence in August 2021. The Taliban quickly took over the country & rapidly eroded gains made by the Western-backed #Afghan government in the past twenty years. 82,000 #Afghans were evacuated into the U.S.
Today, we’ll hear from veterans @PeterLucier from @teamamrelief, @FQhoang from @AlliedAirlift21, Aidan Gunderson, Sgt Tyler Vargas-Andrews, and @RooftopLeader from @TForcePineapple, as well as immigration expert @cmackler from @immigrantarc.
@pamconstable1 From your @washingtonpost article:
“The Taliban wants to segregate women. So it’s training female doctors.”
“This makes me feel like we have done something useful, that all my years of fighting were worth it,” said a Taliban security guard..

Taliban are NOT training women to become doctors:

1. I was sitting with a friend in bank. He is the deputy director of the branch. An old lady (Bas Bibi, a 63 year old women) entered his office and offered a card to my friend to check whether her retirement rights are added to her account. My friend checked it and said, “there

THREAD: My new @WPReview column draws on @HSecurityLab’s new survey data from #Afghanistan to show that paying 9/11 families reparations from the frozen Afghan national reserves is not just unjust, it’s bad for national security. 1/ worldpoliticsreview.com/articles/30618… 1/
The background: after the Taliban takeover, the US froze the Afghan national reserves, throwing the Afghan economy into collapse. As @washingtonpost reporter @sgreports explains, near-famine conditions have resulted through much of the country. 2/ washingtonpost.com/world/interact…
Meanwhile, as @nytimes’ @charlie_savage explained in December, some lawyers for 9/11 families who had been suing the Taliban for reparations, sought to have those reparations paid out of the Afghan reserves. 3/ nytimes.com/2021/12/02/us/…
The first package from the “Child and Family Relief Fund” delivered. Heartbreaking to know that recipient has a Masters Degree in International Relations & was a PHD Candidate (ruined dream). He served for years in ANDSF & has worked in Director level. Imagine ordinary #Afghans
In total six packages were delivered to vulnerable families in Kabul. It’s family received Food Package and a child relief package. The family had a baby girl only 4 months old. She is sick and the family could either afford her medicine or their food. Tough choice, right?

Toplet bombs are still the main reason why the Light forces can not intervene directly in the situation on the surface of the planet.
The Light forces are now clearing the quantum and subquantum anomaly on the higher mental plane with maximum possible speed and as soon as that is done, they will start clearing the subquantum anomaly on the physical plane, which is the riskiest part of the whole operation.
The most critical timeframe is between now and April 24th.
Accidentally or not so accidentally the cutoff date of April 24th coincides with the end of Kala Sarpa Dosha, a very challenging period in Vedic Jyotish astrology, which ends on April 22:

A father of ten children (all females) is about to sell his daughter to save the family from starvation and provide medicine to his other daughter. DM me if you want to help this family. I am not talking about one food package, his need is more.

2. He is a baker and used to bake biscuits and cakes before the fall of the government. His employer (shop) had to let him go because the business wasn’t going well. Now, he can’t find work to support his family. Can we provide him tools to survive?
3. A generous donation can enable him bake & sell and feed his family. Plz DM me for details and if you would like to speak with the family, I can arrange that as well. If you wish to donate, all details about food provision and other arrangements will be provided.
The #Taliban Interior Ministry in a letter, instructed Afghanistan border police, to #prevent_the_evacuation of Afghan citizens by foreign countries.
The ministry's letter states that border control officials are obliged to prevent evacuation operations by the US& NATO countries.

When #Taliban's spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid was asked about #evacuation & specifically the above mentioned letter, he said that "we have banned the evacuation process until make sure that what fate awaits #Afghans who are already evacuated. Over 5,000 evacuated Afghans are ...
...still kept in wretched conditions in temporary camps in Doha. Also, many Afghans in Turkey are living in dire situation with unclear future. We can't put more Afghans at risk&won't allow others misuse them. #Protecting Afghans is the responsibility of the government (#IEA) ...

Following the withdrawal from #Afghanistan, 10s of thousands of at-risk #Afghans were evacuated to the U.S. through humanitarian parole. Those individuals must now pursue a more permanent status: either asylum or #SIV status, though both are currently extremely backlogged.
This is an interesting case what Dr Ambedkar writes relating the Indian Muslims of 1920s with #thirdbattleofpanipat & their call for #fourthBattleOfPanipat
Read:
'In 1926 there arose a controversy as to who really won the third battle of Panipat, fought in 1761.

It was contended for the Muslims that it was a great victory for them because #AhmadShahAbdali had 1 lakh of soldiers while the Marathas had 4-6 lakhs. The Hindus replied that it was a victory to them—a victory to [the] vanquished—because it stemmed the tide of Muslim invasions.
The Muslims were not prepared to admit defeat at the hands of Hindus, and claimed that they will always prove superior to the Hindus. To prove the eternal superiority of Muslims over Hindus, it was proposed by one Maulana Akbar Shah Khan

3. Allow virtual visa interviews

Tomorrow, our team is meeting all day to create better infrastructure, tools, and processes for our 115+ member organizations. We'll also be discussing methods to best keep folks around the world informed. Everything we do will center around #Afghans seeking help.
Apart from the submarines, here are a few other areas where Australia, under Morrison, has not gone through with their obligations to be ethical and lawful:
We abandoned our ‘staunch Afghan allies’ in their hour of need and wouldn’t even offer them protection visas…

By my not holding ‘war crimes trials’, when the evidence suggests we should, while being a signature to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, we broke our agreement to that body, and the civilians we murdered in Afghanistan
By not honouring our commitments to the various environmental agreements such as ‘Kyoto’ and ‘Paris’ we have failed in our duty to be a leader of ‘climate policy and innovation’ rather than just a reluctant (greedy) follower.

So, it was "awful" of us to push education for women in #Afghanistan. We should have sought the elimination of the Taliban & the terrorists, and the establishment of a society the #Afghans would support. The results couldn't have been worse for women than Young's approach.
In the end, this comes back to the different approaches I mentioned in the first tweet of my response: 'Ought' implies 'can' on my part, something else on Young's part.
Over 6,000 U.S. service people died in the Afghan debacle, and perhaps as many as 150,000 #Afghanis. Trillions of dollars have been wasted. Perhaps I misread her, but Young doesn't seem to give a shit. The U.S. tried, and failure and its costs are irrelevant. So is the prospect

#Britain has stopped evacuating #Afghans and is now moving to wind down its military presence in Kabul.
The #ISKP attack yesterday was the most lethal attack on #US troops in Afghanistan in a decade, and in 2011 the US was engaged in offensive operations - something that could be called "a war" - which it has not been since 2014.
The casualty figures for the US security presence low, and the benefit - providing key capacities that sustained the Afghan state, which bore the brunt of the fight to keep the jihadists at bay - was very significant. All lost now, for no reason.
