I feel very bad for Afghan women under Taliban regime.

They keep introducing draconian laws everyday targeting women and girls.

Spineless Ashraf ghani fled away, I don't know how he will be feeling now, a president that couldn't stand and fight for his people.

Everything crumbled the moment US pulled out

Afghanistan had about 300,000 soldiers compared to 85,000 Taliban fighters then, and yet they all surrendered to Taliban without any resistance.

Only 2500 US soldiers kept the Taliban fighters at bay for so long.

This is why I like president zelensky of Ukraine, his inspirational leadership is commendable, he refused to leave Kyiv when he was advised to do so.

You have no idea what you're talking about. You're saying alot but ended up saying nothing.

So the 300,000 afghan fighter's couldn't subdue the 85k Taliban fighter's but just 2500 U.S troops could? Lmaoo

Ashraf Ghani had no choice but to flee.

Afghanistan never became a strong state under the Americans. That is why a country needs to have strong institutions.

Afghanistan has 4 major ethnic groups and they are Pashtuns, Uzbeks and Tajiks and Hazara. The Pashtuns make up 42% of the population. There is also a large Pashtun population in Pakistan. The Taliban are largely Pashtun's. Taliban means student in Pashtun. It is the colonialist that caused the division of the Pashtuns. This will be very important in this article.

America found it very hard to defeat the Taliban for basically 3 reasons.

1. They were defiant and ready to die for their cause.

2. Several raids against them lead to severe casualties against the population which galvanised embittered relations, friends and others to join the Taliban.

3. This is the most important: The Taliban are split into 2- you have those in Afghanistan and then those in Pakistan.

Defeat of the Taliban proved hard because there was an endless flow of new fighters from Pakistan through their extremely porous borders. The flow also included weapons. Many times, they do a hit and run in Afghanistan and go right back into Pakistan. The inflow.

I have always felt that a wall diving the 2 countries was necessary. This would have greatly reduced the ability of the Taliban to cause mayhem in Afghanistan.

Kid you not, the Taliban knew they could never defeat the Americans. They were simply too powerful. If you think what I said is delusional, just think of how the Taliban celebrated the downing of an American helicopter. It was a cause for celebration. This rarely happened and that was why it was celebrated. When you think that America had hundreds of these and fighter jets as well, the best the Taliban could do was to make the Americans as miserable as possible. When Trump felt enough was enough, he pulled US troops out. What Donald Trump really did was a cut and run. He did not give a damn about the Afghanis.

The Americans should never have left. An alternative should have been to use US mercenaries or military contractors instead of US troops. The American presence would have prevented the increasingly iron-fisted rule the Afghans are labouring under today.

jimetagambo:

I actually saw videos of the people of Kabul welcoming Taliban fighters with kisses and hugs and celebration on streets. The meaningful Afghans have left the country. The only ones left are those sympathetic to the Taliban.

They should enjoy the monsters they welcomed back.

It is like a person with HIV taking retroviral drugs. The virus is still there..........waiting

The simple reality is that Time was on the side of the Taliban
In the end the US were defeated and they fled. That is the realistic summary that bears repeating. The US and its allies did not defeat the Taliban. The Taliban defeated them and they were forced into ANOTHER humiliating evacuation just like in Saigon decades earlier.
Your Idea of a wall is hilarious. At what height above sea levels ? In mountains? And who would build it? The Taliban would come around to take selfies whilst the wall is being built? Lol

I unequivocally asked you; what was your reason behind pointing out other historical instances where women has been mistreated and oppressed?! You beat around the bush some more! It’s written for all to see; you made those comments in a bid to downplay the current happenings in Afghanistan.

I dare you to give me a reason other than that.

From every indication, the intention was to disintegrate and subjugate Russia. Now that they've seen the results of thier miscalculations, they're aimless and they're basically using the RUS-UKR crisis as a distraction to divert attention away from domestic failures.
Nazi Ukraine has lost territory that is comparable to the size of some countries

BidenDTrounced:


My interests is a developed and prosperous Africa where ordinary Africans have the resources to travel and explore the world without having to dehumanize themselves.



The reason I'm relaxing on the RUS - UKR conflict is because the war is over, my aspirations came to fruition much more rapidly than I expected.
The West has receded and declined, we're now in a multipolar world where Yuan is an acceptable alternative to the dollar, sanctions are impotent, the West has been unable to isolate Russia (the West still has embassies in Russia sef...they could communicate with Russia via Nigeria or cnn), the West has been unable to prevent trade between Russia and the relevant stakeholders (China and India).. plus, Nazi Ukraine has lost territory that is comparable to the size of some countries and the West is unable to achieve any of it's intended goals/ambition (the West is incapacitated).

In addition to this, President Peter Obi, President of Biafra, some parts of Nigeria and commander in chief of obidients worldwide has submitted an application for Africa (yes, he also doubles as the president of Africa) to join NATO. Our enormous natural resources is too dear to allow it to fall into Russian hands.

As a matter of "leaks", resources rich Africa was next on the Russian agenda. But thanks to the sacrifices of Jewlensky and the benevolent West, Russia is unable to invade Nigeria. Tinubu has traveled to Ukraine to thank the Nazi militant for fighting for our freedom.

Lavrov urged the audience "to stay optimistic."

"We hope that the desire to join forces will prevail, that it will be understood that splitting the global community into one billion and seven billion is wrong, that putting yourself above others is also wrong," the top Russian diplomat said.

This is called Trauma Bonding.
We have been exposed and accustomed to mistreatment, corruption, misrule, maladministration etc. so when our government faithfully executes NORMAL EXPECTATIONS, it seems like a magnanimous, selfless and philanthropic act, we thank them for it and it endears them to us.
This is a legacy of Western colonialism.

Origins of Corruption In Africa

Although, the West has been able to create a 'garden' (Borrell, EU official) for itself at the expense and continuous exploitation of those it has condemned and confined to the 'jungle' (Borrell)

Corruption is more rampant in the West but it's much more subtle and covert (I wrote about this in 2020 based on my observations, exposure and personal experience...then I saw the authors/writers in the aforementioned links use the same words I used..it was affirming and vitalizing)
Westerners are also exposed to to "mistreatment, corruption, misrule, maladministration" BUT in the sense that developing countries are thier specimens (they're well indoctrinated in that 'knowledge' by Western mechanisms).
The" garden vs the jungle" division creates an aura of superiority (and they're emboldened by the inferiority complex of thier subjects/the colonized)....
These circumstances leads to the conditioning by means of distractions and manipulations (which I've already touched on in this discourse) that the worst scenario in the West
is better than the best of developing countries.
In conclusion, just like inhabitants of developing countries, majority of westerners are also 'trauma bonded' in the context of this writing and we're the samples/specimen for thier exposure to to "mistreatment, corruption, misrule, maladministration."

Why Tinubu floored Atiku, Obi, by President Buhari

Overconfidence and poor tactical moves led to the failure of the
opposition to defeat the ruling party in the February 25 presidential election, President Muhammadu Buhari said yesterday.
Besides, the President explained that the All Progressives Congress (APC) got its act together by employing cautious confidence and hard work to retain power, won by President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

He defeated Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP).

The President criticised the PDP and LP for relying on external backers.

Speaking to APC governors during a visit to his residence at Aso Villa, he said: “They were already telling their foreign backers that they would defeat the APC.”

He added: [Our Party blended confidence with caution. We worked hard and won. Now, their overconfidence is creating more problems for the opposition than anyone else.

“They are finding it hard to convince those who supported them from outside why they are unable to beat us.”

Speaking further on the election, the President added: “An important reason I congratulate Asiwaju (Tinubu) on winning is that the opposition got support and false hope from outside and went on to create the impression that they will win, that they will defeat us. How more wrong could anyone be?” he asked.

He thanked Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai for the infrastructure he has provided to make life easy for him in retirement.

He explained that Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje had equally done the same thing, but he did not elaborate on it.

Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), Kebbi State Governor Atiku Bagudu, said the visit was to say “Happy Sallah” to the President and to thank him for the leadership he had given to the party and the nation.

He congratulated the President on the party’s victory in the Presidential election, saying: “Your party won the Presidency, a majority in the Senate and for being the leading party in the House of Representatives. These successes would not have happened without your support.

“History will remember you kindly. Around the world, the election is being celebrated because of the turbulence in the region and in the developing world, all courtesy of your leadership.

‘We won by sheer hard work, the same thing you have always encouraged us to do. We thank you immensely for everything.”

"Majority of Ukrainians do not support the West/Zelensky's vendetta against Russians (Russians generally, including Russian speaking Ukrainians and the Russian culture). Majority of Ukrainians had preferred that the country should be divided with one going to Russia and the other as the new Ukraine (NK SK scenario) with security guarantees from the US, France and the UK. Security guarantees that ensures that if Russia invades the new Ukraine, then France, US, the new Ukraine and the UK will jointly invade Russia (are those countries scared? They have a lot of mouth). Also, they recently promised to nuke NK (a nuclear country) so they shouldn't be scared. I find Russia to be more credible. I don't even need to listen to Russia..I just need to look at the behaviour of the West. They appear to be confirming Russia's claims with thier actions."

Saudi Arabia evacuated Russians from Sudan

Saudi Arabia evacuated several dozen Russian nationals from Sudan aboard military ships, Ruslan Usmanov, Spokesman of the Russian Consulate General in Jeddah told TASS Sunday.

"Russian nationals do not evacuate on their own. They are being evacuated by Saudi military ships. They took this issue upon themselves. They evacuate from Port Sudan and take them to the Port of Jeddah, to the naval base. We meet them here," the diplomat said. "So far, about 40 Russian have arrived. Most of them have already departed: some back to Russia, and some to other countries - depending on their destination."

Usmanov specified that Russian citizens travel to Russia through transit countries, such as Egypt, Qatar and the UAE.

According to the spokesman, Saudi Arabia also evacuates American and European citizens. Saudi authorities provide lists of evacuated people to the consulate general several hours in advance.

"Saudi Arabia also pays for their two-day stay in hotel, with catering," Usmanov. "After that, Russian citizens depart to Russia. If necessary, we escort them to the airport, resolve some issues, but, usually, everything goes smoothly. There have been no problems so far."

The situation in Sudan escalated amid disagreements between the army chief, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who also heads the ruling Sovereignty Council, and the head of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (known as Hemedti), who is al-Burhan’s deputy on the council.

The main points of contention between the two military organizations pertain to the timeline and methods for unifying the armed forces of Sudan, as well as who should be appointed as commander-in-chief of the army: a career military officer, which is al-Burhan’s preferred option, or an elected civilian president, as Dagalo insists.

On April 15, armed clashes between the rival military factions erupted near a military base in Merowe and in the capital, Khartoum.
