The @ChathamHouse awarded their annual prize 2026 to the women of Afghanistan. While this recognition from a prestigious organization like the chatum house is a testament to the courage and persistence strength womne in my country have demonstrated and we appreciate @ChathamHouse for that. However, like I said during award ceremony, we must move beyond statements and sympathy, in 21st century, before the world eyes, 20 million plus women are being erased from any public, social, political life by a group that was empowered and helped by some western so called diplomats and their repressive actions continue to be either normalized or even white washed. Like I said in the ceremony, “Taliban will be defeated this time by women, but shame on the those diplomats who don’t see our suffering and instead are delighted for a photo opportunity with them”

Indeed, women in Afghanistan have been systematically erased from public life. UN experts have warned that this may amount to crimes against humanity, including gender apartheid. We appreciate France’s firm support to us in many front throughout our history including their support of Afghanistan case with ICC and the independent mechanism. No nation committed to human rights and equality should normalize this reality or engage unconditionally with those denying fundamental rights to half the population. We reiterated this position in our meeting with H.E. @jnbarrot today. Our rights should not be bargained. @PorteParoleMEAE

Stop advocating for war and for Afghanistan being used as proxy forever. #ethics

With all due respect @drzakiranaik you are wrong, and the information you are sharing here is false. Under the Taliban, girls are allowed to continue their education only up to Grade 6. Beyond that, they are prohibited from attending secondary school or university. Formal education for girls beyond Grade 6 has been banned since the Taliban returned to power. It is true that the Taliban allow girls to attend madrassas (religious schools), but these institutions follow a Taliban imposed curriculum which is not equal with ordinary religious schools. You can refer to several statements from other Islamic institutions, including the @OIC_OCI on this issue. I had expected you to uphold and amplify the principle of nondiscriminatory education, that is in the Islamic teaching of “ Iqra” اقرا. To justify the denial of fundamental human and Islamic rights to millions of women and girls in Afghanistan is a betrayal of the very principles of Islam you claim to understand. No wonder that you have been expelled from so many countries. You have built a dynasty of power and wealth, using islamic teachings,yet you use your platform to mislead your audience about the painful reality in my country. I would suggest that you stay out of affairs related to my country period! اگر خیرت نمیرسد، شر نرسان!

The “Vanished”, a documentary by our very own @AlexCrawfordSky was screened in @UKParliament , bringing attention to the devastating realities of life in Afghanistan. While no documentary can capture the scale and depth of the suffering endured by my people, The Vanished sheds light on the many interconnected crises they face — from the severe shortage of female healthcare workers and Primary health services , limited access to food and other basic needs to widespread malnutrition. The documentary covers the harsh realities of life for women under Taliban rule, a glimpse into the daily struggles, systemic restrictions, and hardships that define their lives. A reminder to all of us that behind every statistic is a human story that deserves to be seen, heard, and never forgotten. It is a must watch documentary 👇🏻 news.sky.com/share/13601995 share.google/4jwZfsXYQ6ZxY1M…

I love to see a multilingual Secretary General taking the position

حالا دیر شده برای این سخت گیری، اب از سر پریده!

Ambassador @Lana_Nusseibeh diplomatic experience, her selfless character to navigate complex landscape, while keeping her commitment to upholding her values and principles are remarkable. I have seen this first hand. In a statement addressed to the P5 members, 25 civil society organizations and women leaders from Afghanistan expressed their support for her candidacy. They have highlighted that such a milestone would send a powerful message to the Taliban: “Their restrictive policies towards women do not represent any religion.”

به امید موفقیت های مزید تان زرقا جان @ZarqaYaftali

مبارک مریم جان عزیز @maryam_rahmati

بخارا مهد فرهنگ و چراغ ودانش و ایمان سمرقند، اسمان شعر و آیینه ای دوران ز حافظ نغمه‌ها مانده، ز سعدی پند و گفتاری ز مولانا چراغی روشن است اندر شب تاری در آنجا واژه‌ها چون گل، به باغ جان شکوفایند هنوز از قصه‌های پارسی، دل‌ها شکیبایند نه مرز و نه زمان، نتواند این پیوند را بشکند نه طوفان حوادث، ریشه این عشق را برکند. I am glad you enjoyed this persin civilization @SecRubio

جنگ فرزندان بسیاری را از ما گرفت و مادران زیادی را داغدار ساخت. امروز، قربانی‌های که در راه آزادی و دفاع از عزت و کرامت انسانی زنان میهن‌مان تقدیم می‌شوند یاد اور ارمان مقدس است. من به‌عنوان یک مادر، درد مادری را که فرزندش را در این راه از دست داده، با تمام وجود احساس می‌کنم. در تماس با خانواده‌های شهدا، روحیه بلند و استقامت آنان برای ادامه مبارزه، برای ما الهام‌بخش است. اما این خانواده‌های داغدار، بیش از همدردی، به حمایت دوامدار ما نیاز دارند. اگر آنان جگرگوشه‌های‌شان را از دست داده‌اند، آیا ما نمی‌توانیم با اندک کمکی، مرهمی بر دردشان باشیم؟ بیایید خانواده‌های شهدا را تنها نگذاریم!

I have lost faith in some diplomats who prioritise protecting their careers over principles, even to the point of normalising the abnormal. @heatherbarr1 We pay the price for betrayal by so called friends and allies. If we want change, we must unit and challenge the status quo ourselves We carry the burden of global policy makers mistakes and affected by unjust decisions . We cannot afford to wait for others to act. I however want to know what is the outcome of these back to back engagement in changing women and girls life in Afghanistan? On the contrary things have gone worst. @AliceMLabour @wendychambLD @SarahChampionMP

This has happened despite some @bbcworldservice who operate in Afghanistan local language constant sugar coating the situation and airing back to back interviews of Taliban officials. It is a lessons learned to other media outlets on not to compromise the principles of truth and accuracy with access and any other affiliation. @bbcpersian @bbcpashto

برای کهکشان جان موفقیت مزید در امر همکاری برای شهروندان مانکه در این حوزه انتخاباتی زندگی دارند ارزو‌میکنم. @koofi_kahkashan

Happy National Day to all Spaniar and all my friends and colleagues. @SpainUNGeneva @SpainMFA @EmbSpainUK

I know how hard you work, and I admire your dedication. May your hard work and commitment continue to empower and make a positive difference in the lives of more and more women and girls. @ZarqaYaftali

Those who negotiated with the Taliban on behalf of the United States who ill informed US leadership and played around their interests , must be held accountable for failing to include explicit mention on human rights and women’s rights in the February 2020 Doha Agreement that continue to have devastating consequences on Afghanistan. By failing to make the protection of women’s fundamental rights an explicit condition of the agreement, obligations and accountability mechanisms are lacking that resulted in emboldening the Taliban to impose their increasingly oppressive restrictions on our women and girls. During the public dialogues, including the meeting in Moscow in February 2019, Taliban representatives stated their views on women’s education and employment. They stated that women could pursue PhDs and hold government positions, except the position of head of state. You can hear their own words on women’s rights in the video clip below. Given these statements, why did the negotiator who failed Afghanistan and US to protect their gains was not able to secure enforceable guarantees for women’s rights in the Doha Agreement? Why were the fundamental rights of half the Afghan population not made a central condition of the deal? Peace agreements should never come at the expense of women’s dignity, freedom, and fundamental human rights.

Thank you @SwissMFA for firm stance in protecting justice , international order and law!

“People involved in human rights, in international law never get recognized” and here you a well deserved recognition Navi and great choice @NobelPrize
