onthedarkside 1,355 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Off topic and bickering posts have been removed. If anyone needs a reminder, go back and re-read the OP thread here as to the topic: Quote Khademi was among dozens of migrants and asylum seekers who had pitched pop-up tents on a central square in the city in an organised protest intended to attract attention to their precarious living conditions. Police in riot gear moved in to disperse the protest on Monday night. Officers tussled with protesters as they tried to drag them out of the tents. Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post kurtmartens 299 Posted December 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2020 On 11/30/2020 at 9:10 AM, simple1 said: It is ridiculous to compare UK to Afghanistan. Afghanistan has had a cruel civil war for years, invaded twice in our lifetimes, with a massively corrupt unstable government. Afghanis are fighting for their country, but losing their lives in the hundreds every month with no reasonable outlook they will defeat the Taliban and IS. (one assumes due to endemic corruption). US is pulling out, which it has declared it will do for a number of years, contrary to big mouth trump previously declaring he would never publicly declare intentions or negotiate with the enemy during war. I don't know the percentage, but many Afghan asylum seekers / refugees are Shiite. There are an estimated 1.5 million Afghan refugees in Pakistan and roughly four million Afghanis in Iran, composing those registered to live, approx one million refugees and an estimated one million 'illegals'. Accordingly it's a relatively small number trying to reach the West. It would be logical those trying to gain refugee status in the West are seeking to assist their families who have been refugees for years, some more than twenty years with no hope. Last time the Taliban were losing territory hundreds of thousands of Afghans re-entered Afghanistan from Pakistan and Iran, obviously that's not going to happen again anytime soon, especially with IS added to the mix. Afghans are fighting for their country? That is a bunch of <deleted>! I have worked there for 12 years in development and they are not fighting for their country they are trying to leave en masse. Most of them have no interest in fighting for their country other than to line their pockets with as much money as they can and if they can afford to move to Dubai legally and do so or illegally bribe their way to Europe via Iran and Turkey. The West has wasted billions of dollars in development aid in Afghanistan and from first hand experience ... Kabul looks exactly the same as it did 12 years ago when I first started working there. Dubai on the other hand has plenty of Afghan former government officials with houses that I couldn't afford on a consultants 6 figure salary and yet a Afghan government official making $600 a month can? (Now say all this. I do have a few good, kind Afghan friends who managed to legally move to the US and have become citizens and are productive are hardworking.) But, I am sorry to say they are fighting for their country ... thats a bunch of <deleted> in my experience. Maybe you have a difference experience from working there? 3 Link to post Share on other sites

The hundreds of Afghan security forces dying a month are not fighting for their country / protecting civilians whatever? The rest of your post is well known, endemic corruption, drug smuggling and so on among those with any power, with <deleted> all achieved to address the corruption and other corrosive issues by Western governments as an outcome of nearly twenty years intervention; now with the strong possibility of Taliban taking control. Given the Afghanistan Papers we now have somewhat of an insight to the BS which was occurring; it wasn't a one way street... The degree of misrepresentation by military and civilian leaders of that effort in claiming success, and the specific details of those misrepresentations, should drive accountability as well as lessons for the future. But even extensive oversight mechanisms cannot guarantee the reversal of failing policy, if no one in a position of responsibility is willing to bite the bullet. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/12/what-the-afghanistan-papers-revealed/603721/ I assume you soon assessed the situation in Afghanistan, you must have had a reason to stay, so out of curiosity what difference did you make from investing twelve years of your life in Afghanistan?
