Shamema came to @MSF hospital in #Khost on 13 January thinking she is expecting twins. But her labour became full of surprises. Eventually, she delivered four lovely babies, all of whom are now safe and sound in our neonatal ward for observation. Say hello!🙂

last time women in afg protested against taliban they were detained for several days with no access to family or lawyer. were only released after they were forced to confess on camera that they were backed by the west. @AmiriWahida was one of them. bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-62…

I have served the faculty of mathematics and its students for over 10 years but despite rich experience and a doctorate I don’t wish to continue working somewhere where there is an organized discrimination against innocent and talented girls of this country by those in power. 2/2

we’re back to 90s with the Taliban
- Afghan women’s lives have become a living hell
- al qaeda leader was reportedly protected by TB (like Osama)
- Afghanistan = pariah state
- people starving
- minorities attacked
billions wasted, thousands of lives lost - for what?
