I feel for the people of #Ukraine who are now stuck in between a tyrant and the flaky promise of support from "pro-democracy" partners that are so unreliable, they recently handed over the #Afghan state to an extreme autocracy.

Even the sun came out to greet the 20 female medical students that arrived in Scotland from Afghanistan, thanks to the efforts of LindaNorgroveFoundation and Scottish universities. Through their forthcoming achievements, the girls will prove the Taliban ban on education very wrong.

Harris has taken a strong stance on women's rights. If she is elected President, she could take that message global, writes Zarlasht Halaimzai time.com/7013395/kamala…

Later this week Vice President JD Vance Kamala Harris will speak at #DNC. Will she globalize her advocacy for women's rights to include women from Afghanistan? I hope so! Here are some suggestions from me for TIME time.com/7013395/kamala…

An important piece by Zarlasht Halaimzai on what Kamala Harris could do with the platform of the presidency and what we have been told is a commitment to advocating for women and fighting for gender equity — a global battle that must include Afghan women. time.com/7013395/kamala…

"Despite serious risks to their safety, women are protesting in the streets under the slogan Bread, Work, Freedom, organising underground schools and allying with women’s rights champions like Malala Yousafzai to raise global awareness." Zarlasht Halaimzai for TIME time.com/7013395/kamala…

Strong case to put Afghan women and girls at the top of America's interests in Afghanistan: "Ultimately, Afghanistan is more stable and its people more successful when women are not repressed—when they can be educated and work. A President Harris offers the chance of a reset."

In today's #MustRead, Zarlasht Halaimzai argues that a future President Harris could break with previous US policy failures and reset the US-Afghan relationship in a way that genuinely prioritizes Afghan women. Read more TIME ⬇️ time.com/7013395/kamala…

Denying all media requests to comment on Syria. Today is for Syrians. Let them speak for themselves. It’s time for the rest of us to shut up and listen.

Zarlasht Halaimzai (@zarlashth) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Please don’t. Let Syrians deal with their own affairs. Send doctors, engineers, therapists and any resources that you can. Send your well wishes. And then stop. Seriously. STOP THERE.

Dear mainstream "journalists", A third of #Syria is already governed by a secular, multi-ethnic, democratic confederation. You may want to consider mentioning it in your coverage of the country. Sincerely, -ECR PS: #GoogleRojava

Hey Jon Stewart as a long time fan, can I suggest that you confront your anti-Muslim bias. Your segment on Syria was deeply problematic and its a trend for you when it comes to ME or Afghanistan. Incidentally I am from Afghanistan and it hurts to watch you talk about us.
