00:00 - Alireza Ahmadi, a dear journalist friend and his younger brother, were among the dead victims of yesterday’s #KabulAirport attack. He worked for different local media outlets for over a decade as a writer, photographer and reporter, giving voice for his people. RIP brother
- The Taliban captured the fifth army corps headquarters just in four days. Only a commando corps and an army division in Kabul are still under govt’s control. It means the Taliban might have seized around 70% of Afghan military equipments — all donated by US.
- The death toll of last night's suicide attack on a wedding party in #Kabul jumped to 63. Over 180 were also wounded.
- My heart breaks into pieces for my people who have lined up outside the banks to cash their savings and waiting at the gates foreign embassies to secure visas to leave. #Afghanistanisburning #Afganistan #Kabul
- Taliban have seized nearly 100% of the military equipment which were donated to AF forces by the US. So now the Taliban army has access to advanced equipment & technology that other countries can only wish for but few actually have them. Blackhawks, humvees, MSVFs,M4, M16 &....
- Everyone talks about the collapse of Ghani's govt. But few people speak about the collapse on an entire generation, men&women, who worked hard for a better future, and hoped to live&die in Afg. Now they have to a make a choice: lose their freedoms or leave the country they love.
- I have never seen #Kabul as distressful and sad as now. I can see fear on the face of every person walking in the streets. Young urbanite men and women are all worried what may happen next.
- Mohammad Raheb, a public policy student, was among dead victims of today’s attack at #Kabul University. He was a motivational speaker. In a short video circulating on social media he asks everyone not to “forget smiling” even if the life is “painful” and “sad.”
- Replying to @MSharif1990Najma Saadeqi, a former anchor of a local TV station, was also killed in #KabulAirport attack, AF Journalists Center says.
