    طالبان را نباید از این زیادتر امتیاز داد. در گذشته رهایی زندانیان طالب برای برقراری آتش بس و کاهش خشونت بی نتیجه بوده است. چه تضمینی وجود دارد که رهایی زندانیان طالب منجر به کاهش خشونت می شود؟

    دقیق، سالهاست شاهد این بازی بزکشی هستیم. مردم بیچاره قتل عام می‌شوند اما سیاستمداران مصروف بازی خود هستند. دردناک است.

    این روز های افغانستان شباهت زیاد به بازی بزکشی دارد. گالری هنرسالار 🤍🕊🫂

    We looked into it. At least 20,000 Afghan troops have been killed in the last two years, said a spokesman for the State Ministry of Martyrs and Disabled Affairs. This is the number registered for familial benefits so the number could be higher.

    How many Afghan soldiers are dying every day? That’s still a tragedy.

    The Human Rights Council is flawed and needs reform, but walking away won’t fix it. The best way to improve the Council, so it can achieve its potential, is through robust and principled U.S. leadership. Under Biden, we are reengaging and ready to lead.
