The #Canadian #Army in #Afghanistan is available free, online, as .pdf in 3 parts. By Sean M. Maloney.

The Canadian Army in Afghanistan is the first narrative to lay out what happened and why. This complex story depicts the evolution of the forces in-theatre and how they carried out their missions in pursuit of national and coalition objectives from the dark days of the 9-11 attacks to the suppression of the insurgency in Kandahar Province in 2011.

"The Russian invasion of Ukraine was an unprovoked invasion, a full-scale invasion, of another country," he added. "So, of course, Ukraine has the right to self-defence against an unprovoked attack and to uphold territorial integrity."

The officials urged Afghan nationals to ignore the "fraudulent'' communication saying these diplomats, led by former ambassador Farid Mamundzay, were based abroad and had no locus standi in the internal affairs of the Afghanistan embassy.

Afghanistan embassy announces permanent closure of the diplomatic mission in New Delhi due to persistent challenges from the Indian government; the decision follows the earlier cessation of operations on September 30. All diplomats from Afghan Republic have left India, marking the conclusion of 22 years of diplomatic presence. The embassy hopes Indian government stance will favorably change to let mission operate normally. Embassy acknowledges potential characterization of move as internal conflict but asserts it is result of broader policy and interest changes. Embassy extends gratitude to Afghan citizens for their understanding and support throughout the tenure.

The scandal about #hubertseipel unveiled how the #German non-reaction to the #invasion of #Ukraine in #2014 and the annexation of #Crimea as well as the hesitant and haphazard reaction to the full invasion in #2022 is in part caused by biased or outright pro #Kremlin #journalists narratives.
Media and population accepted and repeated those willingly because 1. They linked well at the time prevalent Anti-Americanism resulting from #Irak, #Afghanistan and even #Vietnam wars
2. They allowed the notorious confrontation, decision & rapid action avoiding society & politics to have an excuse for their inaction.

However the decisive factor shouldn't be if some "expert" is paid by russia or not. It should be the validity of their arguments and positions.
Many more have been invited to talkshows who weren't/aren't paid but stated similarly twisted facts and made pro Russian #propaganda.
Many academics warned about them for years but were never asked. #Media should start inviting them instead.

Pakistan has started deporting undocumented Afghans after the passing of a Nov. 1 deadline asking an estimated 1.7 million of them to leave voluntarily. Many of the refugees went to Pakistan to escape the return of Taliban rule in Afghanistan in 2021, and now vulnerable people among them like women’s rights activists face a potential “death sentence.” Read more details from CBS News.

"In some regions, we have seen faults rupture piecemeal over the course of decades - we call these rupture cascades - where it seems clear that the first rupture influenced the second one, the second one led to the third, and so on.
Sequences like this are very unusual. We are aware of only a few."

Hi @EricFielding
Does the northward and eastward shift of the earthquake epicenters in Afghanistan imply anything particular?

Good afternoon. It's 3PM, Sunday, 15th October. The headlines: The UN reports nearly 1 million people displaced in #Gaza, as #Israel plans an attack by land, air and sea. Civilians have been warned to head south with a three-hour window given for evacuation. Israeli troops are positioning on the Gaza barrier while civilians near the Lebanon border are also ordered to evacuate. A strong earthquake has hit #Afghanistan. #BBC #News

Etwas untergegangen, aber sehr ungewöhnlich: die Serie schwerer #Erdbeben in #Afghanistan. Drei Starkbeben hintereinander in einem Gebiet, in dem es bisher keine größeren Beben gab.

Dahinter stecken Intraplattenbeben. Die können weit entfernt von Erdbebengebieten ohne jede Vorwarnung auftreten.
Das kann auch in Deutschland passieren. Zum Beispiel gibt es Hinweise auf Beben der Stärke 6 in Hamburg.

Erneut gab es ein starkes Erdbeben in Afghanistan, in der Provinz um die nordöstliche Stadt Herat. Seismische Risiken sind in der gesamten Region groß - doch es mangelt an Forschung, um die Bevölkerung rechtzeitig zu warnen und durch Maßnahmen zu schützen.

"Amina tells us via a WhatsApp voice message that she used to feel as though the world had forgotten about girls in Afghanistan. "I was wondering if there are people out there that care about me," she says. "I hope one day I will be able to go back to school, but until then Dars can help me to feel connected with my classroom.""

Entlang der Neuen Seidenstraße kommt es immer wieder zu verheerenden Erdbeben. Um die Bevölkerungen in Zukunft besser zu schützen, braucht es nicht nur ein Umdenken im Bauwesen, sondern auch mehr Risikoforschung.

@DoctorsWithoutBorders writes on another channel:

“On Saturday, a 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck western Afghanistan. To date, the Ministry of Public Health and Herat Regional Hospital reported 2,445 deaths and 2,440 injuries in Herat Province.”

Another tragedy, which has been completely lost in the recent news of other disasters.
