It’s my honor that I was able to help secure the release of Dennis Coyle, an American citizen and accomplished academic held by the Taliban for more than a year. He is on his way back to America and his very relieved family. Dennis expressed his gratitude to Qatar, for visiting him in prison and UAE, for its part in implementing the release and providing logistical support today. I join Secretary Rubio in thanking Qatar and the UAE for their essential roles in helping Dennis regain his freedom. The Taliban decision to release him is a positive step, giving hope that the remaining cases can also be resolved asap. Continued work and effort are needed, but today was a good day. #USA #Afghanistan @POTUS @SecRubio #Qatar #UAE #SaudiArabia #Turkiye #SaudiArabia geo.tv/latest/657002-…

@realZalmayMK Eid Mubarak dear Ambassador Khalilzad. May we see peace and prosperity In Afghanistan and in the neighborhood

امروز اولین روز عید فطر در افغانستان است. به همه افغان‌ها از صمیم قلب تبریک می‌گویم، عیدتان مبارک. خداوند عبادت‌ها و دعاهای شما را برای خودتان، خانواده و دوستان‌تان و برای افغانستان قبول کند. یک بار دیگر عیدتان مبارک و بهترین آرزوها. #Afghanistan x.com/i/status/20344…

A mother, her eyes filled with tears, searches desperately for her son who was inside the rehabilitation facility, but he is nowhere to be found. She sits frozen, words failing her. In her silence, the depth of her pain is unmistakable

The international campaign aimed at convincing the Taliban to relax their stringent controls on women’s lives has so far proven a resounding failure. But when it comes to women’s ability to work in Afghanistan, there is a chink of light. crisisgroup.org/asia-pacific/a…

Hundreds feared dead in strike on Kabul hospital ft.trib.al/rd3pvl0

It would be better to call for an investigation and humanitarian assistance given that 400 civilians were just KILLED and hundreds more injured in these airstrikes.

Today I’m making the announcement I look forward to all year: @solaafghanistan's new admissions season is about to begin. 2026 admissions will open one week from today on Monday, March 23. Our application will be available on our website starting on the 23rd, and students will be able to complete their application in English, Dari, or Pashto. More information about admissions will be coming this week, including a list of Frequently Asked Questions for students and parents. Everything will be shared across SOLA’s social media and on our website. Last year, as you know, our admissions season shattered all records. In 2025 we received more than 5,300 applications from Afghan girls worldwide. We could admit only 53 girls. These girls are traveling to Rwanda on a rolling basis with chaperones from the UN’s International Organization for Migration, and I could not be prouder of this enduring partnership between SOLA and @UNmigration. SOLA can only accept applications from Afghan girls who are under the age of 18. We simply can’t bring every girl to SOLA who wants to come – but what we can do is bring SOLA to you. That’s why we’ve created our @solaxonline online program. SOLAx turns two years old this month: we have more than 31,000 students studying with us, and it’s completely free. We provide a full 7th and 8th grade curriculum, and we offer STEM courses on the 9th grade level with 10th, 11th, and 12th grades coming soon. I encourage every student who is age 18 and over to visit our SOLAx website, look at what we do, and join us. We built SOLAx for you. March 23 is a day of deep meaning. March 23 marks four years since girls in Afghanistan had the doors of schools closed in their faces. Every Afghan remembers that day, and with SOLA in Rwanda and online with SOLAx, we continue our mission to educate Afghan girls, the generation of women leaders who’ll bring peace to Afghanistan. We don’t look away. We never will.

After the Taliban seized power, women’s rights in #Afghanistan were sharply curtailed. For some women, small-scale entrepreneurship is one of the last ways to piece together a living. My latest @CrisisGroup with💫 illustrations from @melissacornet_ crisisgroup.org/cmt/asia-pacif…

Remarks regarding recent decision by the US to designate Afghanistan as "state sponsor of wrongful detentions"

Try not to be imbecilic.

Today, I am designating Afghanistan as a State Sponsor of Wrongful Detention. The Taliban continue to use terrorist tactics to seek policy concessions, but it won’t work under this administration. The Taliban must release Dennis Coyle, Mahmood Habibi, and all Americans unjustly detained in Afghanistan.

harvard can't figure out why ice cream eaters are healthier. it's because ice cream is the only food nobody eats out of obligation or guilt. the food diary is an accidental personality test and "eats ice cream on purpose, reports it honestly" is just measuring internal locus of control

@EmmaMAshford You’re pretty smart in English too

I sound a lot smarter in French, apparently.

The most worrisome flash point in South Asia today lies not between the nuclear-armed rivals India and Pakistan but to the west, along the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. I explain why in this new essay for ⁦⁦@ForeignAffairs⁩. foreignaffairs.com/afghanistan/af…
