Their grim existence for nearly a year changed on August 3, when they arrived in India as part of a group of 28 Afghan Sikhs who were flown in from Kabul with the help of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), the Indian World Forum and the central government. Recounting her ordeal of living under the Taliban rule, Kaur said, Being a minority, there was a constant fear of being targeted. The Sikh and Hindu families in Kabul have been spending sleepless nights. The places of worship are not safe. The Gurdwara Karta-E-Parwan was attacked by terrorists on June 18. We used to think 10 times before stepping out of our houses. For our children, going out was out of the question. If we had to step out, we covered our faces, she said. She claimed that most of the minorities in Afghanistan have no access to education as sending children to schools means risking their lives. If a child goes to an educational institute, they will be harassed there. Those who want to study mostly come to India, Kaur said. Taranjit Singh, another Afghan Sikh who arrived in India on August 3, has a three-year-old son suffering from a heart ailment. He said due to minimum access to hospitals, his son could not get proper treatment in Kabul. We are hoping to get him treated here in India, Singh told PTI. Activist Kavita Krishnan said the Centre should have a policy of offering citizenship to such refugees in India and providing them work. Our country is more than capable of just offering citizenship to these refugees. Not just the Afghan Sikhs and Hindus but all refugees should be offered this help by the government. The Centre does not arrange facilities for refugees. Even when they were compelled to do so for the Tamil refugees, their camps were extremely ill-equipped. If the Centre treated the refugees with respect and compassion, it could easily provide work for them, Krishnan told PTI. She alleged that refugees are only talking points and propaganda for the Centre. The Centre should understand that the refugees, with whatever work they do here, are contributing to the GDP of this country, Krishnan said.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"28.6139","longitude":"77.209","name":"New Delhi, Delhi, India","city":"Delhi"},"keywords":"India,Kabul,Taliban,Afghanistan,Afghan,Krishnan,Manpreet Kaur,Afghan Sikhs,the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee,SGPC,the Indian World Forum,Hindu,Kaur,Taranjit Singh,Singh","originalPublishedOn":"2022-08-07T10:22:49+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"YnRNnAkFLguK","slug":"english/joe-biden-signs-anti-fraud-pandemic-bills-while-still-in-isolation","slugV2":"usa/joe-biden-signs-anti-fraud-pandemic-bills-while-still-in-isolation-719256/","title":"Joe Biden signs anti-fraud pandemic bills while still in isolation","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_XPQa0Nd75.jpg","coverCaption":"US President Joe Biden.

Multiple countries have already sent humanitarian aid to Afghanistan after the deadly earthquake, which also destroyed more than 10,000 homes. ,Aware of its constraints, the cash-strapped Taliban have called for foreign assistance and on Saturday appealed to Washington to unfreeze billions of dollars in Afghanistan’s currency reserves, Associated Press reported. Nearly $7.5 million of emergency humanitarian aid was sanctioned by China days after the deadly earthquake. Other countries that have joined efforts for humanitarian assistance include Iran, Pakistan, South Korea, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and India.

The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, in its annual report issued Monday, says religious minorities have “faced harassment, detention and even death due to their faith or beliefs since the Taliban reimposed its harsh interpretation of Sunni Islam on Afghanistan. It also cited attacks on religious minorities by an Islamic State affiliate that is an enemy of the Taliban. Also read: Won't tolerate 'invasion': Taliban to Pakistan after alleged airstrikes,Afghanistan is among 15 nations that the commission says should be on the State Department’s list of “countries of particular concern.” The commission, in its report summary, defined these as governments as the “worst of the worst” in tolerating or engaging in systematic, ongoing and egregious violations of religious freedom.”,The commission, created in 1998 under the International Religious Freedom Act, makes non-binding policy recommendations to the administration and Congress. The State Department has adopted some but not all of its recommendations in the past. In the new report, the commission recommends maintaining 10 countries currently on the State Department list, including China, Eritrea, Iran, Myanmar, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. It also recommends adding four more in addition to Afghanistan — India, Nigeria, Syria and Vietnam. The commission criticized the Biden administration for removing Nigeria from the list last year. Also read: Taliban bans TikTok, PUBG for 'leading youths in Afghan astray': Report,The report said that in Afghanistan, many minority Jewish, Hindu and Sikh residents have fled the country after the Taliban returned to power. It said many members of other religious minorities, such as Ahmadiyya Muslims, Baha'is and Christian converts are worshipping in secret for fear of persecution. Many religious minorities fled Afghanistan out of fear for what could happen under the Taliban, rather than in response to specific actions or edicts issued by the Taliban. Some Sikhs still live and worship in Kabul, and the report notes that Taliban representatives visited a Sikh gurdwara or house of worship to assure them of their safety. But the report said many Sikhs and Hindus have fled to India “due to the lack of safety and security.”,The commission also cited a Human Rights Watch report of the Taliban attacking and seizing property of ethnic Hazaras belonging to the Shiite Muslim minority, plus an Amnesty International report of a Taliban massacre of Hazara men in 2021. Also read: Russia's Vladimir Putin, Pakistan PM express desire to strengthen cooperation: Report,Several deadly attacks on Hazaras have been attributed to Islamic State in Khorasan Province or IS-K, which is hostile to the Taliban and proven to be an intractable security challenge. The cover of the commission's report includes a photo of a deadly attack by IS-K on a Shiite mosque last year in Kunduz province. ,The report echoes CIA World Factbook data from 2009, which said non-Muslim Afghans comprised a tiny fraction of the population. It said 99.7% of Afghans are Muslim, most of them Sunni Muslims, with about 10% to 15% Shiite Muslims. ,“The Taliban, while they promised they would form an inclusive government, promising they would be a different kind of government, their actions have proven otherwise,” commission Chair Nadine Maenza said in an interview. She said that even members of the Sunni majority who don't share the Taliban interpretation of Islamic law are being required to conform to strict dress codes and other measures.

The State Department first designated Russia as a country of particular concern last year. “We fear that violence will continue to increase because of Russia’s blatant violation of religious freedom in Russia and in this conflict that exists in Ukraine,” said commission member Khizr Khan at an online news conference Monday. ,This year's report marks the first time since 2001, when the Taliban last ruled in Kabul, that the commission recommended designating Afghanistan as a country of particular concern, the report said. The State Department last year already listed the Taliban on a similar list of non-state violators of religious freedom based on its actions before returning to power in August. ,The commission recommended sanctioning individual Taliban officials deemed responsible for severe violations of religious freedom and urged that those facing persecution receiving priority in refugee resettlement.

A firefight ensued with the militants firing toward the army post in Pakistan's rugged North Waziristan region, and several were killed, the statement said. There was no immediate way to independently confirm details of the attack. ,It comes as Afghanistan is reeling from a series of explosions in recent days, including the bombing of a mosque in northern Kunduz province on Friday that killed 33 people, including several students of an adjacent religious school or madrassa.

Even as their harsh religiously motivated edicts, which seemed reminiscent of their late 1990s rule, drew harsh criticism, their seemingly heavy-handed approach to security brought early expectations of improved safety.

The strategy is identical to that used with Afghans following the fall of Kabul. According to a person familiar with the negotiations, since Biden declared last month that he would welcome up to 100,000 Ukrainians, authorities have been debating how to prioritise applicants, including how to accommodate refugees facing potential persecution.

Since the declaration, administration officials have been discussing the policy process, including which method persons fleeing Ukraine could use to travel to the United States. Nonetheless, Biden's advisers believe that the majority of the more than 4 million people who have fled Ukraine would choose to stay in the region rather than migrate to the US. According to an individual, the 100,000 figure Biden announced when visiting Brussels in March does not necessarily reflect the number of refugees US officials estimate would eventually seek entry into the US.

The termination of the talks was the first clear indication that recent Taliban initiatives on human rights and inclusivity could have a direct influence on the international community's readiness to assist the group, some of whose leaders are sanctioned by the United States. Also read: Female ministers from 16 nations urge Taliban to reopen schools for Afghan girls,Their decision was a deeply disappointing and inexplicable reversal of commitments to the Afghan people, first and foremost, and also to the international community, Reuters was told by a representative for the United States State Department. We have cancelled some of our engagements, including planned meetings in Doha, and made clear that we see this decision as a potential turning point in our engagement. According to three Reuters sources familiar with the situation, the discussions between US and Taliban administration officials were scheduled to take place on the margins of a conference in Qatar's capital on Saturday and Sunday. The Reuters sources also said representatives from the United Nations and the World Bank were scheduled to attend several of the meetings. Also read: Taliban barred females from high schools just hours after they reopened,A spokeswoman for the Afghan foreign ministry confirmed that a Taliban group, including the acting foreign minister, was planning to visit Doha. The discussions were intended to address topics such as the independence of the Afghan central bank and the issuance of Afghani currency bank notes. According to the three individuals, a humanitarian exchange facility to free up funds and hundreds of millions of dollars now held in a World Bank Trust Fund meant for Afghanistan's education sector were also discussed. They did not want to be identified since they were not authorised to communicate with the media. The Qatari jet that was meant to collect Muttaqi's delegation in Kabul has not turned up, According to a diplomatic source, the reference is to Acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi. A request for response from the Qatari government's communications office was not immediately responded to. The move demonstrates the challenges the Taliban administration confronts in gaining access to foreign funds and opening up the banking sector. Inflation has been fueled by hard cash shortages, exacerbating the economic situation. Also read: Photojournalist Danish Siddiqui's parents start legal move against Taliban for his death,The Taliban have also been unable to access billions of dollars in foreign reserves held by governments around the world, including the United States, because they are not completely recognised. Aside from the crippled banking system, the steep decline in development aid, which formerly totaled to billions of dollars and assisted the Afghan government in functioning, has exacerbated food shortages and poverty. According to the United Nations, over 23 million people are suffering from acute hunger, and 95 percent of the population is not eating enough food. Washington and its allies have demanded that the Taliban, who formerly forbade girls from attending school and most women from working, improve their human rights record. The Taliban, who launched an insurgency that overthrew the Western-backed government in August, have also been accused of suppressing free expression, forcefully breaking up protests, and exacting lethal retaliation on their erstwhile adversaries. The group claims it would respect everyone's rights within the framework of Islamic law and has promised to investigate specific charges of mistreatment. Also read: Taliban intends to open high schools for girls from March 22,The Taliban reversed their prior decision to open high schools for girls on Wednesday, stating they would remain closed until a strategy to reopen them was developed. Many students were left in tears as a result of the backtracking, which sparked small rallies by girls in Kabul. It was also condemned by humanitarian organisations and other governments. They are definitely shooting themselves in the foot, Graeme Smith, a senior expert with International Crisis Group, commented on the choice to educate girls. A significant donor summit for humanitarian relief is slated to take place this month, co-hosted by the United Kingdom, in an effort to help gather the $4.4 billion in money that the UN says is required to fulfil the country's immediate needs. Diplomats and relief organisations are concerned that the Ukraine conflict, along with the Taliban's decision on females' education, will make it more difficult to raise the funds. The decision is understandable, Human Rights Watch's John Sifton commented on the US move. The U.S. and other donors need to communicate to the Taliban that their actions are unacceptable. At the same time, the cancellation of this important meeting is tragic ... The Afghan economy has collapsed, and millions are facing acute malnutrition. People are dying of starvation every day.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"38.9072","longitude":"-77.0369","name":"Washington D.C., DC, USA","city":"Washington"},"keywords":"Taliban,Afghan,US,Doha,Afghanistan,the United States,the United Nations,Qatari,Kabul,the United States State Department,Qatar,the World Bank,Afghani,World Bank Trust Fund,Muttaqi","originalPublishedOn":"2022-03-26T01:40:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"Z8rr2qbF2vgm","slug":"english/horrific-deja-vu-in-ukraine-for-those-who-fled-other-wars-1","slugV2":"world/horrific-deja-vu-in-ukraine-for-those-who-fled-other-wars-663692/","title":"Horrific deja vu in Ukraine for those who fled other wars","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi__WWDHITDT.jpg","coverCaption":"Refugees who have arrived from Ukraine are given warm drinks and something to eat at a counter after their arrival at Berlin's main train station, Germany (Photo Credit: AP)","reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-03-04T14:15:00+05:30","highlightSummary":"\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMore than 1 million people have fled Ukraine: UN\u0026nbsp;\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eRefugees from other nations settled in Ukraine are having to flee again\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eUkraine's refugee crisis is said to be the swiftest this century\u0026nbsp;\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e","highlightSummaryFlag":1,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":1,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":2,"content":"{\\\"time\\\":1646382679293,\\\"strCount\\\":7897,\\\"blocks\\\":[{\\\"type\\\":\\\"paragraph\\\",\\\"data\\\":{\\\"text\\\":\\\"When Russia launched its \u003ca href=\\\\\\\"https://opoyi.com/usa/ukraines-zaporizhzhia-europes-biggest-nuclear-powerplant-on-fire-watch-510677/\\\\\\\"\u003ewar on Ukraine\u003c/a\u003e, a Syrian student in the city of \u003ca href=\\\\\\\"https://opoyi.com/topics/kharkiv/\\\\\\\"\u003eKharkiv\u003c/a\u003e joined the \u003ca href=\\\\\\\"https://opoyi.com/india/indian-student-shot-at-while-trying-to-escape-ukraines-kyiv-union-minister-vk-singh-467103/\\\\\\\"\u003eexodus of people\u003c/a\u003e fleeing the onslaught.

The report was declassified Tuesday. The report by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction John Sopko, submitted to the Department of Defense in January 2021, underscores that American authorities had been alerted that Afghanistan’s air force did not have the capabilities to survive after a U.S. withdrawal. In particular, the report points to U.S. failure to train Afghan support staff, leaving the air force unable to maintain its aircraft without American contractors. Also read: One year of Biden-Harris: Key facts and figures of the presidency,U.S. air support to government forces was key in the 20-year-war against Taliban insurgents. Its removal — along with the inability of the Afghan air force to fill the void — was one factor that contributed to the Taliban’s sweeping victory as the Americans withdrew. The inspector general’s office told The Associated Press on Monday that it is rare for SIGAR reports to be classified but when they are, a declassified version is issued by the Pentagon in under two months. The office said it did not know why it took the Defense Department more than a year before declassifying this particular report, or why it did so now, five months after the Taliban took power.

It has released successive reports that documented corruption, Afghan and U.S. leadership failings and weaknesses within the Afghan army, offering recommendations on where to improve. Since the 2001 U.S-led invasion that ousted the Taliban and during the long war that ensued, Washington spent more than $145 billion on reconstruction in Afghanistan and nearly $1 trillion on its military engagement. Billions went to building up the Afghan military forces.

It is unclear where the practice originated or how old it is, and it is impossible to know how widespread it might be. A somewhat similar tradition exists in Albania, another deeply patriarchal society, although it is limited to adults. Under Albania’s “sworn virgin” tradition, a woman would take an oath of celibacy and declare herself a man, after which she could inherit property, work and sit on a village council — all of which would have been out of bounds for a woman.

Since 2010, the country has been carrying out regular inoculation campaigns in which workers go door to door, giving the vaccine to children. Most of the workers are women, since they can get better access to mothers and children. G20 leaders to discuss Afghanistan funding as UN warns of economic collapse,The four-day campaign will start Monday and take place countrywide, Ebad said. The estimated target population is Afghanistan’s 10 million children under age 5, including the more than 3.3 million who could not be reached since 2018. “Vaccination of (children) less than five years of age in the country during the national immunization days is a gigantic task. It is not possible for the ministry of public health alone to complete this task successfully, so we need the support of all lined departments,” said Nek Wali Shah Momin, a health ministry official in the polio eradication department. No sign of Afghan baby handed to US soldiers at Kabul Airport: Report,The Taliban’s reported endorsement of the campaign appeared aimed at showing the international community they are willing to cooperate with international agencies. The longtime militant insurgent force has been trying to win the world’s recognition of its new government and re-open the door for international aid to rescue the crumbling economy. The World Health Organization and the U.N. children’s agency UNICEF in a joint statement last month said they welcomed the decision by the Taliban leadership supporting the resumption of house-to-house polio vaccinations across the country. Large sections of the country have been out of reach for vaccinations in recent years. In parts of the south, particularly, the ban by the Taliban was in effect. In other areas, door-to-door campaigns were impossible because of fighting between the government and insurgents, or because of fears of kidnappings or roadside bombs. In some places, hard-line clerics spoke out against vaccinations, calling them un-Islamic or claiming they were part of a Western plot.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"34.5553","longitude":"69.2075","name":"Kabul, Afghanistan","city":"Kabul"},"keywords":"Afghanistan Polio, Pakistan Polio, Taliban, vaccination, children ","originalPublishedOn":"2021-11-07T19:45:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"rPTPhCj2faob","slug":"no-sign-of-afghan-baby-handed-to-us-soldiers-at-kabul-airport-report","slugV2":"usa/no-sign-of-afghan-baby-handed-to-us-soldiers-at-kabul-airport-report-524139/","title":"No sign of Afghan baby handed to US soldiers at Kabul Airport: Report","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_HTfOiEc4m0.jpg","coverCaption":"Evacuees wait to board US flight from Kabul airport (Photo Credit: AP) (Representational image)","reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2021-11-06T09:49:46+05:30","highlightSummary":"\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMirza Ali and Suraya lost their infant at the Kabul Airport\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eThe incident occured on August 19 following Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eThe family has been taken to the United States as refugees\u0026nbsp;\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e","highlightSummaryFlag":1,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":1,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":2,"content":"{\\\"time\\\":1636172379102,\\\"strCount\\\":2611,\\\"blocks\\\":[{\\\"type\\\":\\\"paragraph\\\",\\\"data\\\":{\\\"text\\\":\\\"Amid chaos in \u003ca href=\\\\\\\"https://opoyi.com/topics/afghanistan/\\\\\\\"\u003eAfghanistan\u003c/a\u003e following the\\\\ntakeover of \u003ca href=\\\\\\\"https://opoyi.com/topics/taliban/\\\\\\\"\u003eTaliban\u003c/a\u003e, Mirza Ali Ahmadi and his wife Suraya were amongst the thousands who were looking to flee the country with five of their children.

Amiri chose a different path. Three days after the Taliban overran the capital, she was back in the office to help meet the growing need in the crumbling health sector. International aid that once funded hospitals and health worker wages had stopped abruptly. Hospitals across the country were being hit hard by an economic crisis brought on by international sanctions against the Taliban. Taliban chief Haibatullah Akhundzada makes public appearance amid death rumours,She requested that her Taliban superiors merge her department with another to improve quality control. They approved it. When a Talib guard attempted to inspect her bag at the ministry gate one morning, she refused and asked that a separate room be erected for female checks. They complied. A graduate of Kabul Medical University 31 years ago, she has worked for the Health Ministry since 2004. Five health ministers have come and gone during her tenure. “Why should the Taliban be any different?” she asked. The only change they introduced was for women to don Islamic dress. Amiri, a devout Muslim, was already in the habit of wearing a headscarf. Health is not political, Amiri insists. The guidelines her office formulates are sent to thousands of public hospitals, clinics and facilities across the country. “Life goes on,” she says. But for Juyunda, life will never be the same. First group of LGBT+ Afghans gets evacuated by UK since Taliban’s takeover,It took her weeks to recover from the shock of the takeover. Her family of 11 had greatly benefited after the U.S. invasion. She and her four sisters were able to attend school in Ghor province. Her parents held well-paid government jobs. She was on her way to becoming an economist brimming with ideas to improve her country. From social media she came to know of a women’s protest organized outside the Pakistan embassy in Kabul in September. Shortly after she arrived, a Taliban unit showed up and the group had to disperse. She stood there holding a sign “Education is a right” and repeated to herself, “I am strong, they are weak.”,She witnessed protesters being beaten with rifles and cables. This is war, she thought. Numbers were exchanged, and soon a network of dozens of like-minded activists was formed. The Taliban have said they have no issue with the right to protest, but that the activists must seek their permission to demonstrate. Subsequent sit-ins have not been able to draw large numbers. But Juyunda said to seek permission from the Taliban would be an implicit acceptance of their rule. “We will never do that,” she said. The lives of both women were shaped by Afghanistan’s turbulent history. Amiri was a gynaecologist in the conservative Wardak province, a Taliban stronghold as far back as the 1990s when the group was first in power. Taliban sends envoy to Islamabad to supervise Afghan embassy,To survive, she said, she made her world a little smaller. “During that time, I went to the hospital, I treated patients, delivered babies and did surgeries, and then I went straight home. That was my life,” she said. In 2021, she reverted to the same tactic. After 3:30 p.m. she leaves the office and goes straight to her Kabul home to spend the evening with her children and grandchildren. Juyunda’s childhood was marked by the violence of the Taliban insurgency in the years after the U.S. invasion. She saw entire buildings go up in flames after rocket strikes and bombings. At night she would sleep with a glass full of water. “I thought, if a bomb ever hit our home, I could use it to put out the flames,” she recalled, smiling at the thought of her childhood naivete. The bombs have stopped, but Juyunda’s war for the rights of women continues. Amiri, meanwhile, is hopeful. “Let’s see what happens,” she said.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"34.5553","longitude":"69.2075","name":"Kabul, Afghanistan","city":"Kabul"},"keywords":"Karima Mayar Amiri, Taliban, Health Ministry, Rishmin Juyunda, Taliban policies women, Afghanistan, Taliban takeover","originalPublishedOn":"2021-11-05T19:30:00+05:30"}}]},"widgets":[]},"topicList":[{"id":"qy4QrD4HTvqo","slug":"afghanistan","name":"Afghanistan","isSection":0},{"id":"zkqYMqXTnopN","slug":"taliban","name":"Taliban","isSection":0},{"id":"iEhRQcab92b8","slug":"world","name":"World","isSection":1},{"id":"Lgr3hTOPJ0yv","slug":"unitedstates","name":"UnitedStates","isSection":0},{"id":"tLOXw4T5mTfp","slug":"joebiden","name":"JoeBiden","isSection":0},{"id":"0JelBm6rMusZ","slug":"us","name":"US","isSection":0},{"id":"mlUiDZx1A0Kl","slug":"kabulairport","name":"kabulairport","isSection":0},{"id":"NYS6J2BBfSdS","slug":"international","name":"International","isSection":0},{"id":"gC7RgkE2zois","slug":"ashrafghani","name":"AshrafGhani","isSection":0},{"id":"QzdhnKXHT05r","slug":"asia","name":"Asia","isSection":0},{"id":"FOmhLXoLKRYc","slug":"evacuation","name":"Evacuation","isSection":0},{"id":"Bq4MmUPrXF8p","slug":"india","name":"India","isSection":1},{"id":"l2RF3BnXEMLE","slug":"terrorism","name":"Terrorism","isSection":0},{"id":"ODQ1kqHlUPEu","slug":"politics","name":"Politics","isSection":0},{"id":"eeQkE4gldgBZ","slug":"war","name":"War","isSection":0},{"id":"TtrHLXvjg4wB","slug":"news","name":"news","isSection":0},{"id":"dcucwt1INYxJ","slug":"pentagon","name":"Pentagon","isSection":0},{"id":"sfmRl1uAcAtp","slug":"conflict","name":"Conflict","isSection":0},{"id":"wizuXkuQ3rL8","slug":"pakistan","name":"Pakistan","isSection":0},{"id":"Yv4jRIHCPROY","slug":"afghanrefugee","name":"AfghanRefugee","isSection":0},{"id":"3WFoPkYpAzdF","slug":"unitednations","name":"UnitedNations","isSection":0},{"id":"PHtAakEev7Bs","slug":"bombattack","name":"BombAttack","isSection":0},{"id":"f329zkvYyXfz","slug":"usmilitary","name":"USMilitary","isSection":0},{"id":"hmzqkpDB7jEj","slug":"indianews","name":"IndiaNews","isSection":0},{"id":"ZT6urOP4Pu5S","slug":"unitedkingdom","name":"UnitedKingdom","isSection":0},{"id":"afVrenXyE3oH","slug":"refugee","name":"Refugee","isSection":0},{"id":"D8eqiqcxFZ1c","slug":"whitehouse","name":"WhiteHouse","isSection":0},{"id":"SPBaPrR23eZS","slug":"usa","name":"USA","isSection":2},{"id":"FwaC3DCo0Yqo","slug":"isis","name":"ISIS","isSection":0},{"id":"rBpj9Yi57Sni","slug":"uk","name":"UK","isSection":0},{"id":"YNm01dK5Zxd7","slug":"alqaeda","name":"AlQaeda","isSection":0},{"id":"WjDr7Jisvlg3","slug":"borisjohnson","name":"BorisJohnson","isSection":0},{"id":"G5LkGAgQSQsX","slug":"islamicstate","name":"IslamicState","isSection":0},{"id":"MeG1aLxsV0YW","slug":"military","name":"Military","isSection":0},{"id":"aEuWQuvQMiN4","slug":"armedforces","name":"ArmedForces","isSection":0},{"id":"LW65OGGvIB5L","slug":"departmentofdefense","name":"DepartmentofDefense","isSection":0},{"id":"21iNDXopf879","slug":"antonyblinken","name":"AntonyBlinken","isSection":0},{"id":"4bDQN9by3oKR","slug":"johnkirby","name":"JohnKirby","isSection":0},{"id":"ewtNRvc519ve","slug":"humanrights","name":"HumanRights","isSection":0},{"id":"NxNYOgJ2rxAq","slug":"iran","name":"Iran","isSection":0},{"id":"uYIkF0D6JaNS","slug":"militant","name":"Militant","isSection":0},{"id":"SCa8YTAwt6sC","slug":"sports","name":"Sports","isSection":1},{"id":"45Jqb8MdFeMa","slug":"qatar","name":"Qatar","isSection":0},{"id":"FEGpzaf4glDn","slug":"afghani","name":"Afghani","isSection":0},{"id":"Dq03BAdFix29","slug":"ukraine","name":"Ukraine","isSection":0},{"id":"ZdjTIzNom80K","slug":"russia","name":"Russia","isSection":0},{"id":"IDS3Gtya3gaP","slug":"socialmedia","name":"SocialMedia","isSection":0},{"id":"zky9dYVYRvVy","slug":"jenpsaki","name":"JenPsaki","isSection":0},{"id":"1Q4eL8NEkdPs","slug":"jakesullivan","name":"JakeSullivan","isSection":0},{"id":"TsYntXC3zKPM","slug":"blast","name":"Blast","isSection":0}],"slug":"kabul","lang":"en","sectionArray":[1,2],"messages":{"Disclaimer":{"DISCLAIMER":"Disclaimer","OPINION_DISCLAIMER":"The views expressed in this article are the personal opinions of the author.
