Tolo News: 19 US Republican senators on Wednesday were preparing to introduce a bill titled the “Taliban Sanctions Act” to impose sanctions on the Islamic Emirate for “human rights abuses” in Afghanistan. The bill would block and prohibit all transactions of property held by the Islamic Emirate, as well as invalidate all visas or other documentation permitting entry to the US. The Islamic Emirate “allowed Afghanistan to once again become a safe-haven for terrorists,” said Sen. Jim Risch. Click here to read more (external link).

US warns war crime allegations could prevent work with Australia’s SAS

1st June, 2023 · admin · Leave a comment

Ariana: The United States has warned that allegations of war crimes against Australian soldiers in Afghanistan could prevent U.S. forces from working with Australia’s Special Air Service Regiment, Australia’s defense force chief said on Wednesday. Gen. Angus Campbell told a Senate committee that he received a letter from the U.S. defense attache in Canberra in March 2021 suggesting the elite SAS may have been “tainted” by the allegations of war crimes in Afghanistan raised in an Australian war crime investigation report that was made public in 2000, Associated Press reported.

Afghan Authorities Warn University Lecturers to Refrain Criticizing the Ruling Regime

31st May, 2023 · admin · Leave a comment

Khaama: Afghanistan’s Ministry of Higher Education in a letter has warned university lecturers to avoid criticizing the Taliban regime in their research work, sources reported. In the letter, it is stressed that university lecturers should have a good command of both national languages (Farsi and Pashto) and utilize national terminologies rather than using terms that are alien to Afghan people and culture. Banning the use of the term “Danishgah” which has a Farsi root, which translates university in English has repeatedly sparked widespread reactions in universities and media in Afghanistan. While describing the term “Danishgah” as foreign, the officials have banned using the term. The former government officials and the Taliban did not have sensitivity towards non-Persian words such as Urdu and English. Previously, the Taliban authorities repeatedly removed Farsi words from official plaques of universities in different parts of the country. Click here to read more (external link).

Afghan Drug Trade; Cartels, Trafficking Route, and Government Complicity

31st May, 2023 · admin · Leave a comment

Khaama: Several related economic activities are involved in Afghanistan drug trafficking. Cartels maintain a symbiotic relationship with the Taliban by giving farmers advances to plant ephedra and opium while providing the financial assistance necessary to keep the jihadist proto-state alive. These cartels use Pakistani sources to facilitate the acquisition of chemicals required to produce drugs. In addition, diverse nationalities are used as hostages until their cartels can afford to pay for the delivery of the drugs, and terrorist groups offer security services in exchange for payment, said Hamid Pakteen, reported by Afghan Diaspora Network. The rise of heroin production can be traced back to 1979 when the Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate of Pakistan supported jihadist groups to generate funds from drug trafficking.
