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. (…)

1/ On the evening of Feb 8, at least several hundred people gathered at #Kabul International Airport after rumours circulated of flights to Turkey being arranged for Afghans to support the earthquake relief effort, with all visa requirements being waived.

2/ On Feb 19, the Taliban’s GDI released a video showing the ‘confession’ of two #Afghan satirists, Imran Ahmadzai and Sadullah Didan, who were accused of spreading the rumours of the flights to #Turkey, as well as anti-regime propaganda.
3/ AW found three posts by Ahmadzai on Feb 8, when the rush to the airport was underway, and he pretended to be among the crowds. All the posts generated a reasonable level of engagement but not at a level likely to have been a major catalyst to the rumours of flights to #Turkey.
A #Pakistani_delegation lead by the country's Defense Minister& include ISI chief, arrived in #Kabul and met with the Taliban's Deputy PM, Mullah Baradar.
"The two sides discussed the development of bilateral relations, trade, regional connectivity&economic cooperation," TB said.

This great op-Ed reminded me of the story of the #ISK director of recruitment being caught in a night raid. He used to work in a directorate of agriculture in Nangrahar during republic days and had hosted me at his office a few time. I got to know that he had been detained 1/
A few months later I saw him walking around in my #Kabul office. Awkward about how to bring it up, over tea I hinted at the rumour of him being picked up in links with ISK and he told me the story. Muslimyar (Head of Senate) had sent someone to him to lease them gov arid land 2/
When he refused to break the law and give out the land, the person told him that he would regret it. The same night, a helicopter descended outside his house and the zero units put a bag over his head and flew him to Kabul 3/
