At least 10 people were killed in Afghanistan’s Baghlan province when a gunman opened fire on Sufis participating in a weekly ritual at a local shrine, the country’s interior ministry said on Friday.

Former President Hamid Karzai has reportedly been allowed by the Taliban to travel to Germany for eye treatment. Sources confirm he left 2 days ago for medical care. This marks a rare instance of the Taliban permitting a high-profile figure to travel abroad since their return to power. #Afghanistan

This provides many nations a chance to stand against Israeli #Genocide without directly confronting the political backlash. Backing the ICC’s decision allows them to oppose the atrocities collectively, avoiding the risk of being labeled antisemitic for speaking out alone.

After X, BlueSky becomes the latest platform to be blocked by Pakistan’s military-led government. What’s next—cutting off access to oxygen?

The Federal Apex Committee has approved a military operation in #Balochistan under the National Action Plan. But when has a military operation in Balochistan ever produced meaningful results? History shows these actions only escalate problems rather than resolving them. Will they ever learn?

Scrolling through X lately feels more like flipping through ads than reading tweets. Using X for ‘content’ but getting nothing but ‘ads’ instead. Guess that’s why BlueSky will thrive – no ads, just real conversations.

Been hanging out on Bluesky for a bit and, honestly, X might need to start looking over its shoulder. This place is like Twitter but with less chaos and more chill! 🦋

The US sanctions on Israel’s Amana settler organization are far too late to undo the years of suffering Palestinians have endured. Relentless violence, land theft, and destruction have been ignored for too long—this token gesture barely scratches the surface of justice.

Ali Wazir has been unlawfully detained and re-arrested despite being acquitted. His relentless persecution reveals the state’s brutal intolerance for dissent. He is being punished solely for speaking against oppression. #ReleaseAliWazir #JusticeForAliWazir

The Taliban’s reign is a brutal reminder of how oppression, fear, and injustice destroy the fabric of society. Their policies strip away basic freedoms, perpetuate violence, and are systematically destroying Afg’s rich culture. Afghanistan deserves a future free from such tyranny. #FreeAfghanistan

With X already banned, Pak’s military backed govt now plans to block VPNs, tightening the grip on freedom of expression. These escalating curbs reflect their fear of public dissent. Suppressing voices is never sustainable, history proves it nvr has been & never ‘ll be. The truth always finds a way.

#BlueSky is steadily shaping up to be the future, gradually taking over where Twitter (X) once stood. With major outlets like The Guardian and numerous celebrities already onboard, the shift is happening. The future belongs here—let’s keep growing together! @bsky.app

Greetings, Blue Sky community, As a #Pashtun who follows both #Afghanistan and #Pakistan, I’m here to share perspectives and connect with others who appreciate thoughtful discussions. Looking forward to insightful exchanges.
