Depuis quatre ans que les #talibans contrôlent l’#Afghanistan, les femmes ont connu un véritable retour en arrière. Claquemurées, privées d’enseignement secondaire et exclues de la majorité des lieux de travail et de socialisation, elles tentent d’arracher quelques instants de liberté.

What do you think, how many people were killed in the name of #counterterrorism?
Deaths caused by governments in the name of counterterrorism vastly exceed deaths caused by militant groups who use terror tactics.
This report reviews the latest research to examine the causal pathways that have led to an estimated 3.6-3.8 million indirect deaths in post-9/11 war zones, including #Afghanistan, #Pakistan, #Iraq, #Syria, and #Yemen.

The total death toll in these war zones could be at least 4.5-4.7 million and counting, though the precise mortality figure remains unknown. Some people were killed in the fighting, but far more, especially children, have been killed by the reverberating effects of war, such as the spread of disease.
The #report examines the devastating toll of war on human health, whoever the combatant, whatever the compounding factor, in the most violent conflicts in which the U.S. government has been engaged in the name of counterterrorism since September 11, 2001.

When I was a #SEAL deployed to #Afghanistan, we did not treat suspected #IED manufacturers this poorly.

Zia worked as an #interpreter & cultural adviser at Camp Mike Spann in Mazar-e Sharif, #Afghanistan, from about 2005 until 2009, Petersen, his attorney, told The Post.
Because of his work, Zia “suffered & continues to suffer threats to the life & property of himself & his family members by enemy forces & criminal elements,” says a recommendation letter from a supervisor who oversaw Zia’s interpreter work.

Matt Zeller, an #Army veteran whose #Afghan interpreter saved his life in a 2008 firefight, co-founded the nonprofit No One Left Behind to help resettle #Afghans. He said he fears the #immigration crackdown will unwind that effort.
“The #Trump administration knows what’s going to happen to these folks. They’re not stupid. They understand that the #Taliban is going to kill them when they get back to #Afghanistan,” Zeller said. “They just don’t care.”
