With a humanitarian visa offered by Brazil to nearly 8,000 Afghans so far, an unofficial new route to Canada has opened. Dangers range from cops to crocodiles. In my first long-form feature @TorontoStar, I tell the story of Afghans who walked the Panamanian jungle, nearly 100 kilometres through the infamous Darién Gap. He nearly drowned in the Caribbean. His remarkable 12-country odyssey is the new road to Canada for many Afghans. thestar.com/news/canada/20…

This tweet from Tasnim (you know, the IRGC’s news agency) literally just exposed who’s actually running things in Iran. The way they talk about Araghchi is just their intern at this point.

If taking down of US fighter jet is true, how come iran suddenly has the technology to shoot it down when they couldn’t do it at the start of the war? who gave them: russia? china? hard to believe they developed that kind of sophisticated air defense system on their own.

Afghan diaspora has been toxic lately. Full of blame games. Everyone sounds like they’re making valid points but if you actually read between the lines, it’s all ethnocentric takes. They just won’t say it out loud.

متوجه میشی که چند وقت میشه افغان ها در تویتر چقدر عالی انگلیسی (با ادبیات بالا) می نویسند.

Here’s my op-ed, published in today’s Financial Times: War between Afghanistan and Pakistan has much wider consequences Gift link as.ft.com/r/81123941-59d…

Pakistan carried out airstrikes in Afghanistan that hit a drug rehab clinic and other locations, killing civilians, according to the Taliban government wsj.com/world/middle-e…

Sad how the deaths of innocent Afghan civilians whether by the Taliban, ISIS, or US troops never really made headlines. Not during the US-backed government, and not now with the Pakistan bombings either. We’re just numbers… and eventually forgotten. That’s just our reality.

@omar_quraishi Major international news outlets, including Reuters, Aljazeera, Toronto Star, and Skynews @SkyYaldaHakim have reported that a rehabilitation centre treating drug addicts was hit. Saying in an attempt to get you see the truth, but I doubt you want to see it.

@euamiri And you’re not seeing the full picture by taking whatever the Afghan Taliban are putting out at face value

I’m not sure if you’re seeing the full picture here. Given Pakistan’s full control over the air and their intel, hitting a drug rehab center seems inexplicable. Taliban's military HQs are well-known locations. Devastating to see over 200 innocent civilians were reportedly killed.

In defense of Dubai. A very personal essay about the city on the cover of today’s @WSJ Review. wsj.com/world/middle-e…

Iran has declared 40 days public mourning.

BREAKING -- Tasnim News confirmed the death of Khamenei.

Fars News, citing its sources, reports that Khamenei’s daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, and grandchild were killed in a US–Israeli attack.

Iran’s attacks on Arab nations during the first day of war with the US & Israel show its desperation for survival. With the exception of Oman, Tehran has no friends left in the region, having sent missiles and drones into eight different middle eastern countries.

Reports of several explosions across Kabul moments ago. An airstrike has reportedly hit the Taliban’s Ministry of Defense educational academy in Darul Aman. The compound is on fire, and residents say Pakistani fighter jets could be heard in Kabul’s skies.

Analysis: Iran is on the brink, again. This time might be different . My latest for ⁦@nationalpost⁩ nationalpost.com/news/world/isr…

Es muy difícil para mí escribir este post… Tras más de siete años juntos, Juanki y yo hemos decidido poner fin a nuestra etapa juntos como entrenador y jugador. Gracias por haber hecho de sueños de niño, realidades. Empezamos este camino cuando apenas era un chaval, y durante todo este tiempo me has acompañado en un viaje increíble, dentro y fuera de la pista. Y he disfrutado muchísimo de cada paso contigo. Hemos conseguido llegar a la cima, y siento que, si nuestros caminos deportivos tenían que separarse, debía ser desde ahí arriba. Desde el lugar por el que siempre trabajamos y al que siempre aspiramos llegar. Son tantos los recuerdos que me vienen a la cabeza que quedarme solo con uno no sería justo. Me has hecho crecer como deportista, pero sobre todo como persona. Y algo que valoro muchísimo: he disfrutado del proceso. Me quedo con eso, con el camino recorrido juntos. Ahora llegan tiempos de cambio para los dos, nuevas aventuras y nuevos proyectos. Pero tengo la certeza de que los afrontaremos de la manera correcta, dando lo mejor de nosotros, como siempre hemos hecho. Siempre sumando. Te deseo lo mejor de corazón en todo lo que venga. Me quedo con la tranquilidad de saber que no nos hemos dejado nada por dar, que lo hemos puesto todo a disposición del otro. Gracias por todo, Juanki! ❤️
