Barat Ali Batoor

Targeted killings of Hazaras in Quetta haven’t stopped. This morning, gunmen killed two Hazara vegetable vendors and injured three others. The Government of Pakistan must ensure the safety of the Hazara community, who have faced terrorism since 1999.

The Taliban terrorists have waged jihad against Farsi, calling it an Iranian language, and have been removing terms like دانشگاه. Their mysterious, notorious leader has issued a fatwa against it.

Australia needs to shut US bases, scrap AUKUS, remove all Australian personnel from the US military and finally have an independent foreign and defence policy.

Australia is not approved to ship oil through the straits of Hormuz, unlike China, South Africa, Italy, India, Pakistan, & France. We are excluded because the ALP supports the war mongering criminal israel & USA's war. Remember this the next time you vote. @AlboMP @SenatorWong

Spain has shown courage and principle by stopping the US from using military bases in its country in the illegal Iran war. With US military spy planes already rotating through an Australian air base near Perth, Labor refuses to do the same as Spain.

A US nuclear submarine just sank an Iranian frigate off the coast of Sri Lanka, leaving the survivors to drown. I asked Wong if any of the 50 or more Australians stationed on US nuclear submarines in the Pacific were on this submarine. The Government refused to answer.

Israel & Saudi Arabia pushed the U.S. to attack Iran. Netanyahu killed 72,000 people in Gaza, mostly women & children. Saudi Arabia is a brutal dictatorship that allows no opposition. These are the leaders who want to bring “freedom” to Iran? Does anyone really believe that?

"What's the legal justification under international law for this action by America & Israel?" Wong: "The legal basis for this is for the US & Israel to explain" "We're not party to the intelligence the US & Israelis are referencing" Aus foreign policy in a nutshell

2021 Australian of the Year, Grace Tame, has delivered speech to protesters protesting against Israel president visit "A so-called democracy that punishes peaceful protesters like us but welcomes a war criminal with open arms"

3/3 The international community must not remain silent in the face of such systemic oppression. Silence only enables further abuses. Read our full analysis and urgent call to action at the link below. bolaq.org/2026/01/taliba…

2/3 Most alarmingly, it opens the door to the legitimization of slavery and institutionalized discrimination, measures that place vulnerable communities, especially Hazaras, at serious risk and violate the most fundamental principles of international human rights and law.

1/3 The Taliban’s newly enacted “law” hands unlimited power to unaccountable courts, legalizes arbitrary detention and harsh punishments, strips women of their basic right to seek justice, and suppresses all dissent under the guise of legality.

افغانستان کی جمہوریت میں ایک پشتون نےاسٹیج پر خود کو ننگا کر کے احتجاج کیا کہ جمہوریت نے پشتونوں کے حقوق، عزت اور پہچان چھین کر غیر پشتونوں کو دے دی۔ پگڑی پھینک کر کہتا ہے: یہ پشتونوں کی پگڑی ہے جو اُزبک کمیونٹی کے رشید دوستم کو دے دی گئی۔ قمیص اتار کر کہتا ہے: یہ ہزارہ کمیونٹی کے محقق کو دے دی گئی۔ اور شلوار اتار کر کہتا ہے: یہ تاجک قوم کے ڈاکٹر عبداللہ عبداللہ کو دے دی گئی۔ اب طالبان آ گئے ہیں تو دوبارہ کپڑے مل گئے۔۔۔ اس لیے وہی پشتون جو باہر ممالک میں بیٹھے ہیں — چاہے صحافی ہوں، سیاستدان یا ایکٹیوسٹ — طالبان کی حمایت کرتے ہیں۔ اور جب کوئی کہتا ہے کہ طالبان ہونا ایک ذہنیت ہے،، تو وہ آپ کو غدار کہتے ہیں۔ میں جانتی ہوں کہ یہ حقیقت تلخ ہے۔ ان کی سب سے بڑی منافقت یہ ہے کہ افغانستان میں غیر پشتونوں کو حقوق دینا اپنی تذلیل سمجھتے ہیں، اور پاکستان میں جہاں بلوچ اور پشتونوں کو اقتدار سے لے کر اعلیٰ عہدوں اور وزارتوں تک سب کچھ ملا ہوا ہے — وہاں یہ آزادی کے نعرے لگاتے ہیں اصل مسئلہ ذہنی غلامی ہے۔ کچھ پشتون اب ایک کلٹ بن چکے ہیں، اور کلٹ ہمیشہ دیمک کی طرح اپنے ہی معاشرے کو چاٹ جاتا ہے۔
