One small step in the right direction. While few of us in the Afghan-NGO community expect reimbursement to actually happen, this bill will help keep the discussion about #Afganistan alive a little while longer

Hear from myself and others of the Afghan and Veteran communities about the true extent of the US Government abandonment of Afghanistan on August 15th at Georgetown. 1208 Foundation will also stream it live. visions-of-afghanistan.eventbrite.com Sami Sadat BILAL SARWARY Mariam Solaimankhil

If you want to see a couple of Green Berets pick a fight with the US Government, this is worth the watch. youtube.com/@1208Foundation

We're pleased to report that "More than Brothers", a documentary by Andrea von Siebenthal that features the work of 1208, has been selected for two more film festivals! MTB will be at both the Big Sky and DC Independent Film Festivals in February; we hope to see you there!

It was an honor to represent the 1208 Foundation in front of Congress. With all that is going on in the world, we cannot forget the obligation our country still owes to our Afghan Allies. Sami Sadat BILAL SARWARY Mariam Solaimankhil H. Parwani Jalil Shahkar

The welfare of the #NMRG will always be the core mission of the 1208 Foundation. We are profoundly disappointed in the decisions made by National Geographic and Disney, which in our opinion, lead to the death of one whom we pledged to safeguard and forced dozens more further underground.

I'm looking forward to discussing humanitarian innovation in Afghanistan, as a panelist for a webinar hosted by Johns Hopkins. To many, "Innovation" and "Afghanistan" might not seem to fit in the same sentence. Tune in to see why we disagree. Details: eventbrite.com/e/the-future-o…

There is a sick sort of irony to be asking for donations to support people placed in jeopardy by a multinational valued at over $180 billion... Please consider donating to assist the NMRG affected by Retrograde. gofund.me/be3b25c5

Evan Wright I'd also like to add that Matt Heineman was not in Afghanistan for the scene that got our guy killed. It's more than a little ironic that someone who put such an emphasis on "the faces" never looked into the eyes of the people he exploited. Manuel Roig-Franzia Hope Hodge Seck

Why? That's a standard matter of users infringing on a copyright; happens all the time. TikTok could not have stopped the Taliban from downloading Retrograde and then distributing the footage/images to their intelligence service.

NEWS: The Edward R. Murrow Award - one of most prestigious journalism honors - stripped from NatGeo/Matthew Heineman documentary in latest fallout from The Washington Post investigation washingtonpost.com/style/media/20…

There were no known instances of a Murrow Award being revoked in the 50+ year history of the RTDNA- until now. Will this spur Disney, National Geographic or Matthew Heineman to finally render assistance to the widow and the remaining eight affected families? Manuel Roig-Franzia Hope Hodge Seck

Shawn VanDiver Just stop. You have never seen combat, you have never touched Afghan ground, you do not speak for us. All you are doing is hurting our cause with your undisciplined approach. There is a better way of doing this.

It has been over three weeks since Abdul Rahman Waziri was gunned down over a parking spot, and there are still no charges, or even acknowledgement from Houston DA Sean Teare nbcnews.com/news/us-news/w…

A man who served the US for five years in Afghanistan is dead, while witnesses are running scared because Sean Teare won't file charges against the shooter.

Turns out it wasn't just us at the 1208 Foundation who were raising the alarms about National Geographic and Disney exposing vulnerable Afghans in the Retrograde documentary Matthew Heineman and his film crew knew the entire time. wapo.st/4nVqqlI
