Harrowing story of the kidnapping of an Afghanistan girl by a US Marine a common story still happening.
"Lawyers representing the government, the Afghan family and the child would note many defects in these proceedings; the attorney representing the child described the flaws as “glaring.” There is no Virginia law that allows a judge to adopt out a foreign child without her home country’s consent. A child must be put up for adoption by a parent or agency, and this child had never been. The court waived the requirement that the child be present when social services visited the adoptive parents’ home, that someone investigate her history, that whoever had custody be told this was happening."
"In the summer of 2021, the American military withdrew from Afghanistan and the Taliban took over. Mast contacted the couple directly, enlisting the help of a translator named Ahmad Osmani, an Afghan Christian who’d moved to the U.S. Osmani considered it his Christian duty to help the Masts, testifying that he believed it would be “a great picture to see a terrorist’s daughter become a believer and glorify God’s name.”
"It has been four years since the Afghan couple has seen her.
In July, she turned 6."

Abschiebungen nach Afghanistan: Doch ein Deal mit den Taliban?
Abschiebungen nach Afghanistan gegen ein wenig Anerkennung? Die Bundesregierung sagt, es gebe keinen Deal mit den Taliban - doch ARD-Recherchen ergeben nun ein anderes Bild.

I would not be surprised if the terrorists had connections to #Afghanistan 🇦🇫 as the government has yet to bring the entire territory fully under their control.
But I would be surprised if #India 🇮🇳 was somehow directly involved as the latter has a military, special forces & nukes. Also, such actions would easily trigger another war, which neither side wants.

per capire:lo studio legale USA per cui lavora l'avvocato che mi rappresenta contro #FBI per avere doc su #Gelli, ha vinto causa per il Washington Post. Sono riusciti a ottenere file su guerra in #Afghanistan,mentre era in corso,ma non file su #Gelli di 40 anni fa. Non colpisce?
i documenti #FBI su #LicioGelli,per cui ho presentato ricorso #FOIA contro #FBI, risalgono a 40 anni fa
se l' #FBI invoca ancora il segreto, è evidente che quei segreti su #LicioGelli, morto 11 anni fa, ancora sono un problema per il governo americano

"Safe House" von Afghanen aus Bundesaufnahmeprogramm durchsucht
Sicherheitskräfte der Taliban haben ein "Safe House" in Kabul durchsucht - und 79 Afghaner über Stunden verhört. Sie sind Teil des Bundesaufnahmeprogramms der deutschen Regierung. Es ist ungewiss, was nun mit ihnen geschieht. Von Peter Hornung.
