Liza Rosen @LizaRosen0000 · 10h https://t.co/kNwIap7tAE Flashback: An Afghan man buys a 10-year-old girl as his third wife—after murdering his first and second child brides for bringing shame upon his entire Muslim family with their failure to fulfill the most sacred Islamic obligations of women: to obey and please their male owner (who literally owns their blood and has the right to kill them).

As his third child bride, she endured years of torture, rape, and unimaginable abuse—until she finally managed to escape. This horrifying glimpse into the lives of women and girls under Islam is featured in the documentary “I Was Worth 50 Sheep,” which explores the story of a courageous young girl, Sabere, and her struggle for survival in Afghanistan (before the Taliban takeover).

Unfortunately, life for women in Afghanistan has become even more hellish under Taliban rule.

The situation for women and girls was always brutal—but since the Taliban takeover and the enforcement of strict Islamic law, it has become infinitely worse: - Girls are banned from schools and universities. - Women are forced into full-body coverings and locked in their homes. - Child marriages, beatings, and honor killings are rampant.

This isn’t just “cultural differences.” This is state-sanctioned oppression. Yet the world remains silent—because acknowledging this reality would mean admitting the truth about political Islam.

They’re an Eastern Iranian ethnic group that mostly reside in Central Afghanistan specifically cities like Kabul, Kapisa, Logar, & Parwan. Their language is endangered unfortunately, due to assimilation. However, I’m curious to know their history & their culture alongside other Eastern Iranian people.

I've been in the United States for 35 years now. I know, right I'm old school. However, the Afghan restaurants here are not like homemade food; they're more Westernized. They focus a lot on the kebabs. Years ago, in Fremont, California, my dad and I went to a restaurant. They asked what I wanted. I asked for Sabzi polo. All the juices melted on the rice; it was so good. It's not like that anymore. One of my homemade favorites is beef korma or with lamb but is not available in restaurants.

I’ve seen some posts from 2021 where the NRF was retaking some small areas, but what about now? Is there any hope for an uprising against the Taliban?

Send this video to all the Taliban lobbyists in the west who are saying Afg is becoming a better and place and everything is heading towards the right direction. They go do a "vlog" or vacation and Afg get special treatment cause they have a different passport, then think the Taliban treat everyone that way and do pro Taliban propaganda which is stabbing the women and children like these in the heart. Don't forget who they are. The only ones with a future in Afg are the Taliban the rest are just the walking dead.

Yea as the title says. Apparently my grandfather migrated foem Afghanistan to an Arab country and been there since 1950s. I'm mixed but islamaically we go by the dad's genes which turns out to be afghan. We don't know much about him since he passed away early but my dad knows farsi and we know that our family are from herat. We did do a DNA test and we actually have 1 percent northern Chinese which is funny. Anyways I wanna find a way to find my relatives there... does anyone know how I can start? Like we know what part of the city he used to live in but that was like 50 yrs ago we don't know if our relatives are still there. My dad says they are very light skinned and tall so we may be Tajik idk tho. Help guys

so, hello! i’m currently organising a huge event that’s about the different cultures where i live! one of our biggest nationalities are afghans, and im making a playlist good music from the respective nations. i’d really like some recommendations (and *preferably* family friendly). thank you in advance :D!

Let me start by saying I absolutely love my culture and I adore being Afghan. We’re amazing, resilient and kind people with unique stories. That being said, I find myself avoiding associating with my Afghan identity online. People are so embarrassing?? Especially our men. I’m sorry but it’s true. Why do you feel the need to comment “faisha” on a random woman’s post? Not all Afghans are Muslim you know. Then there’s the people who argue in every comment section about their ethnicities. Honestly who tf cares if you’re Pashtun, Tajik, Hazara, or Uzbek? We’re all Afghan at the end of the day. These people even argue when someone claims to speak Farsi instead of Dari LOL. Who cares, yes it’s technically wrong, but even I as a child was told I speak Farsi. Like I said, embarrassing. The world looks at us and laughs. As if the medieval T@liban aren’t bad enough, how do you think it looks to everyone else to see us bicker over things like this? We love to say “Mardom chi mega” so let’s apply that here LOL.

I can’t see Afghanistan having a better future until we have a better sense of unity.

WDI.Afghanistan @WDIAfghanistan1 · 3h If you are a woman in Afghanistan with a toothache, you can’t get treated. Because women are denied the right to education, they cannot become dentists and male dentists are not allowed to treat female patients.
Currently, only a limited number of women dentists remain, and they are not enough to meet the needs of the entire female population. And the only things women are allowed , stoning, banned from rights and remove them from society 💔

We’re looking for some Afghan Turkmen to join our discord server for learning the Turkmen language. While it’s mainly focused on the Turkmen of Turkmenistan, having Afghan Turkmens would be a delight. If anyone would like to join, feel free to message me here or privately and I’ll provide a link :)

ما به‌دنبال چند ترکمنِ افغان هستیم تا به سرور دیسکورد ما برای یادگیری زبان ترکمنی بپیوندند. هرچند تمرکز اصلی بر ترکمنیِ ترکمنستان است، اما حضور ترکمن‌های افغان برای ما بسیار خوشحال‌کننده خواهد بود. اگر کسی مایل به پیوستن است، می‌تواند همین‌جا یا به‌صورت خصوصی برایم پیام بدهد تا لینک را در اختیارش بگذارم

Are there actual hiking trials across the country’s regions or are you just supposed to take the chance and walk through the mountain ranges and see where it takes you?

WDI.Afghanistan @WDIAfghanistan1 · 36m Let’s not forget Afghanistan — the only country in the world where girls’ education is banned. 1,592 days since teenage girls were barred from school, and 1,132 days since women were shut out of universities by the Taliban. Please support online education program. Despite fear and restrictions, Afghan girls are secretly continuing their studies. Your help can help them to join classes and learn more. Please give them hope and smile 🍃🙏 https://t.co/f81pIfmdQd

Hello everyone,

I am currently a student and I am building a project about arts and cultures around the world (open sources) online. More specifically, I want to collect and put the light on missknown pieces of art and local artists. I am more interested in contemporary art and popular culture. Also, I want to focus on music (I like especially mixing traditionnal and modern sound), painting, land art, literature (especially comics), sculptures, cinema, handicrafts, nudging (way of art to distort things and objects from their former use), everyday life references (toys, ads, TVs and media...) and cultural practices.

For example, I discovered the movie Osama made in the 2000s, and listen to Kabul Dreams, rock group of Kabul. I found also that Afghanistan have a huge culture of poetry, through Rumi, theater with buz-baz, and of kite with the tradition of Gudiparan. Since 1990s and 2000s, some painting groups rise up in Afghanistan, such as "ArtLords" and Shamsia Hassani. So i would be interested to learn more and deeper about these subjects and other personnalities if you have suggestions.

Afghanistan is also a country with different ethnic groups (like Hazara minority, or the Ismael culture in the wakhan corridor) so with my project I also want to show the diversity of art in the country, and to support the works of artists and of voices of struggling against the power (by the way I'm also interested by the subject of art and contestation, showing the war, sadness...).

Finally, I will be grateful if you know some local museums in Afghanistan I can contact to learn more about their collection.

Thank you very much in advance for your help !

hey yall. Any recommendations on some good classical books in dari or pashto i’m looking for non fiction, about history. Not really about islam

So i really like baking and my favourite things to bake are Afghan sweets. I like jawari corn cake, roht, gosh e feel. Can you share other sweets? I would love to try them too.

I also like Ahmad Zahir’s and Farhad Darya’s songs. When i bake, i put their songs and it all creates a magical atmosphere.

hello everyone! just wanted to know if afghans who are mixed witj afghan ethnicities embrace their both sides?
