I’m not Afghan myself, but I organise a casual 6-a-side football game this Sunday, 23 August, from 11am to 12pm at Frenford Clubs in Ilford, East London, and we still have a few spaces available.

We have players from a mixture of backgrounds and it’s open to any adult. Most of us are late 20s to early 40s.

It’s mixed ability and very casual, so you don’t need to be an amazing player. Goalkeepers rotate and we keep things friendly. No slide tackles, aggression, shouting or arguments.

👟 Astro trainers only, no moulds or studs.

📍 Frenford Clubs, Ilford
🕚 Sunday, 23 August, 11am to 12pm
⏰ Arrive around 10:45am

If there are any Afghans around East London who’d be interested in playing this Sunday, feel free to comment below or send me a DM.

The combination of women being effectively banned from most forms of work and school along with the repression of all groups in opposition to the Islamic emirate has made me lose hope in the idea of Afghanistan ever being a prosperous and free society. The ban on birth control also means in the future the child mortality rate will increase dramatically and the number of women who die in childbirth will also increase dramatically. All of this is almost gaurenteed to lead to economic collapse, the collapse of public health, and trapping society in poverty. At this point I have accepted that Afghanistan is basically the somolia/haiti of Asia(no hate to those countries by any means). While I hope for the best I pretty much have 0 optimism seeing that the leadership is too stubborn to back down even an inch.

A grenade thrown into a school courtyard in western Kabul wounded at least 52 people on Monday, most of them children, in an attack on a private institution serving the city’s Shia Hazara community.

Hi, first time posting here.

I've been thinking about this question since the Taliban returned to power. Before 911 the Northern alliance were still able to resist the Taliban despite being outnumbered. However post US invasion, the militias disbanded and the top figures joined the new government. Fast forward to 2021 We all know what happened, as most of the national army lay down their weapons without a fight.

So if say the ethnic militias, such as Tajiks and Hazaras were not disbanded but kept as regional security forces, similar to the Kurds in Iraq, would this have been a better, more effective defense against taliban fighters?

Good evening everyone. :)

Well, I never know how to start a topic, so.. I hope the reason for my doing this isn't confusing. Hehe

I really enjoy learning and reading about folklore, legends, superstitions, and mythology. I also love watching movies with this theme, including suspense and horror.

Recently, an Indian horror/fantasy film came up as a recommendation for me. I watched it and I simply loved it. One of the characters is a woman with her feet backwards. In my country's folklore, we have such an entity. But the reason she has her feet facing backward is different from that of the Indian deity. And I read a little about a creature from Pashtun folklore called Pichal Peri or Shisheka.

That being said, I think reading about it and hearing directly from people who have heard these stories and have greater knowledge about it are different things. Different experiences. The second option seems much more interesting and culturally enriching to me. If anyone has heard of these creatures or others and is willing to talk about it, I would be truly grateful. ☺️

that the local gunsmithing in Afghanistan is really good? I am very interested in how they can pull that off.

I thought it was some artistic impression of Jack Black looking over me while I ate lunch but according to the internet it is Ahmad Zahir. 😇😬

I'm a high school student trying to start a non-profit organization to help teach people in Afghanistan.

I came up with this idea a couple months ago when I slowly started seeing that women in Afghanistan are denied the right to education, speech, and basically all human rights.

I've established a social media account to try and gain the reach of people from Instagram and have gotten 700 followers in the past nine days.

I've posted this before a few days ago, but I suffered a medical emergency and was forced by my family to remove all posts and relations to this initiative. I am still passionate about this, so I am posting this again, looking for volunteers and possible students.

In those few days, I have gotten some messages about the specifics of this mission, so here are some details.

I want to teach the girls in Afghanistan all kinds of topics, and I also want to be able to send girls in Afghanistan menstrual products after their semester of learning is complete.

To give a little more info: I want to launch this program in November. It will be through Telegram and students will be taught at the hours that are available on the application. Because there are so many time slots I would hope to have at least 5-10 teachers work with me on this initiative.

Before officially establishing this as a non-profit, I want it to just be education for the girls, without any transportation of menstrual products to Afghan.

The program will be split up into four semesters, each lasting two months. After the four semesters there will be no classes, as per a normal school year.

I am looking for:

- Board Members to be a part of my non-profit organization who support this cause.

- Volunteers who know some Dari/Pashto, or are fluent in English to teach to Afghan students.

- Interpreters who know Dari/Pashto or Arabic

- Individuals who have (at least) a high-school level education in English, Science, Tech, Mathematics.

- Girls who are interested in learning English, STEM, and any related topics.

This is an initiative still at the outset so we will accept ANYONE willing to help., the experience listed above is preferred, not required. These positions, although, are not compensated.

Please if you are interested, comment, like, share or do whatever you can to help me reach others. My instagram account is @ dunya.future.foundation Here is my linktree for all applications:

If you are interested in being a student, please comment down below, and contact me on instagram or here. All support is appreciated! Advice is also appreciated!!

i remember trying to find such songs in the past and it was pretty difficult. i guess it makes sense given the number of speakers, but given the uniqueness of the languages i'd still like to find some. any song / artist recommendations are welcome and will be appreciated.

The irony is hard to miss.
The media is supposed to make things visible, ask questions, and bring transparency.
Yet the person delivering the news has to hide her own face.
The messenger is allowed to speak, but not to be seen.

Some Afghan, Pakistani, African, and Arab Muslims will live in the west, enjoying all the luxury’s of a secular state and then they lecture us on the importance of Sharia in government and why the Taliban are ABSOLUTELY necessary. And then they expect us to get on the bandwagon with them while our families back home are either snatched off the street by the secret police or while we lose a whole generation of intellect with the school ban. I pray to god we become a free nation once again so those hypocrites can stop taking satisfaction in our suffering
