[ToloNews] The Afghanistan National Journalists’ Union on Wednesday reported that due to the financial crisis, around 150 print media outlets across Afghanistan have stopped printing newspapers and magazines since the fall of the former government. Many of these outlets continue publishing news online, while some have shut down completely.
Ahmad Shoaib Fana, chief executive of the national journalists union, said: "Print media has stopped in the country. If the situation goes on like this, we will face a social crisis."
Ali Haqmal, a journalist working for 8 Sobh newspaper, reports that the outlet is now publishing online. He said: "We made efforts to do whatever people expect. We focus on reporting online, and we still try to get the information to the people."
Ashaq Ali Ehsas, deputy chief of 8 Sobh newspaper, said: "Each day 15,000 papers were being published and distributed in Kabul and some provinces. The process was disrupted due to problems over the printing and distributing of newspapers after the fall of the government."
Arman Mili Newspaper is another famous newspaper which has stopped operating. Sayed Shoaib Parsa, the founder of the newspaper, said: "We had 22 employees here. All lost their jobs. We are waiting for the situation to normalize so we can restart publishing."
Watchdog organizations recently said the Afghan media outlets are running out of funds and face a lack of information under the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... .
[KhaamaPress] Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan sacked Muhammad Osman Baburi and appointed Muhammad Ashraf Ghairat as vice-chancellor of Afghanistan’s biggest university based in Kabul-Kabul University.
The appointment has reacted wide reaction in social media as a young bachelor degree holder replaced an intellectual and experienced Ph.D. holder as head of the best and the very first university in Afghanistan.
Muhammad Ashraf Ghairat was officially announced as the interim vice-chancellor of the Kabul University on Wednesday, September 22.
Ghairat is said to have been employed in the ministry of education in the previous government and was head of the assessment body of universities of IEA in the southwestern part of Afghanistan.
People including some Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... members have criticized the move and said that there were more eligible people than him among them.
Critics have also made last year’s tweet of Ghairat in which he justifies the killing of journalists and motivates the Taliban members to assassinate journalists.
The Kabul University in a statement said that he is only the acting vice-chancellor and the position can be reshuffled any time.
[Townhall] During a Senate hearing on Tuesday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas gave alarming figures about the 60,000 Afghan evacuees who are already in the United States.
Appearing to confirm previous reporting that a "majority" of Special Immigrant Visa holders were left behind in Afghanistan—Mayorkas said only about 3 percent, or roughly 1,800, of those who have come so far are SIVs. Furthermore, 7 percent are U.S. citizens while 6 percent are lawful permanent residents.
"The balance of that population are individuals whose applications have not yet been processed for approval who may qualify as SIVs and have not yet applied, who qualify, or would qualify, I should say, as P1 or P2 refugees who have been employed by the United States government in Afghanistan and are otherwise vulnerable Afghan nationals, such as journalists, human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... advocates, etc.," he said.
Mayorkas also said during the hearing that almost none of the Afghans looking to resettle in the U.S. are being denied.
"So since the first of August, how many Afghan refugees have been denied acceptance into the United States?" Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) asked.
"I don’t have that number at my fingertips. I know it is very de minimis," the DHS secretary responded. "We have not found many people with derogatory information relative to those who qualify for admission to the United States by reason of their status."
[ToloNews] Women-owned businesses, especially restaurants and cafes, have remained closed for the past month since the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... entered Kabul city.
Niki Tabasom spent one million Afs to open a café in Kabul three years ago. She said that her café’s staff was all women who lost their jobs when the previous government collapsed. She was collecting about 20,000 Afs daily from her café.
Niki Tabasom told TOLOnews: "The café has been closed since the Taliban came to Kabul. My colleagues and I lost our jobs."
In order to feed their families, women are seeking ways to work and earn money, Tabasom said.
"Women are the breadwinners for some families, so these families are facing economic and financial problems," she added.
The café’s employees said that each of them is leading a family. Opportunities for work must be found for women.
Qadira said: "They should consider our demands. When they don’t pay attention, how will the Taliban start governance?"
Sabrina Sultani said: "I was earning my livelihood by working at the café for two years. I helped my family."
Afghan businesswomen lost millions of Afs as the Taliban took Afghanistan in mid-August.
Noor-ul-Haq Omari, head of the Union of Kabul Workers, said: "Investments led by women have unfortunately stopped. They lost their jobs and funds. In some cases, the women have sold their company’s expensive things at a very low price."
Dozens of Afghan businesswomen had begun to invest in various fields across the country over the past few years, and now this has stopped.
[KhaamaPress] As per the CNN report, the former female Afghan prosecutors have been self-detained for the fear of reprisal from those who were once jailed after their judgments and have now been released. Female prosecutors usually dealt with the cases of women’s rights violation, women’s torture, rapes, murder, and family harassment.
Thousands of prisoners have been freed throughout Afghanistan by the Taliban after they took over the country.
Along with other female employees in Afghanistan, female prosecutors have also been at their homes and have been told not to go to their jobs.

He's f---ed up the strong, cooperative relationship that Trump established Lopez Obrador.
He's f---ed up the AFG bugout - worst f-p fiasco in half a century.
He's f---ed up NATO.
He's f---ed up our relationship with Israel.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Carlos the Jackal, the leftist Death Eater who carried out attacks across the globe in the 1970s and 1980s, opened a bid in a French court on Wednesday to reduce the life sentence he had been given for a deadly grenade attack on a Gay Paree shop in 1974.
The self-declared "professional revolutionary", whose real name is Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, has been behind bars in La Belle France since he was captured and spirited out of Sudan by French special forces in 1994.
He was found guilty in 2017 over a grenade attack in 1974 on a shop on Gay Paree’s Champs Elysees, the Drugstore Publicis, that killed two people and injured 36.

...I had honestly thought he'd died a few years ago.
And I gotta relate this bit from a late 90s novel whose name escapes me: Terrorists decide to carry out a hostage grab to free Carlos, and it all goes horribly wrong - all the hostages dead, most of the terrs.
Carlos knows none of this, assuming he's on his way out the gate in a few, deciding what tropical paradise he'd like to be flown to, etc. Right on cue, the prison administrator shows up with two hulking guards, and Carlos figures this is it, time to get going. But instead, the administrator just smiles and says, "The President of the French Republic sends his deepest condolences."
"Why?", Carlos asks.
"For the heart attack you're going to have tonight. Au revoir."

They should release him tomorrow, by parachute, over Antarctica, in his undies.
F those Joooo-hating Hamas-loving beyotches
[Jpost] The legislation was introduced a day after the funding was removed from a broader spending bill.
The leader of the US House of Representatives Appropriations Committee introduced legislation on Wednesday to provide $1 billion to Israel to replenish its "Iron Dome" missile-defense system, a day after the funding was removed from a broader spending bill.
Some of the most liberal House Democrats had objected to the provision and said they would vote against the broad spending bill. This threatened its passage because Republicans were lined up against the plan to fund the federal government through December 3 and raise the nation's borrowing limit.
The removal led Republicans to label Democrats as anti-Israel, despite a long tradition in the US Congress of strong support from both parties for the Jewish state, to which Washington sends billions of dollars in aid every year.
The United States has already provided more than $1.6 billion for Israel to develop and build the Iron Dome system, according to a Congressional Research Service report last year.
[NYPOST] Republican politicians are slamming Democrats after House leadership moved to defund Israel’s Iron Dome on Tuesday — calling out the move as Democrats "[capitulating] to the antisemitic influence of their radical members."Spearheaded by the "Squad" of far-left politicians, which includes Reps. Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal, though she doesn't talk about it much anymore... (D-NY), Ilhan Omar ...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She was apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side... (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), the House moved to cut $1 billion in funding for Israel’s missile defense system from a short-term government funding bill.
Republicans in the House and Senate immediately blasted the decision, suggesting the defunding was a betrayal of Israel.
"President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem machine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family, the guy who bungled Afghanistan...... proclaimed to our allies that ’America is back,’ but since then he has abandoned Americans & allies in Afghanistan, weakened our relationship with La Belle France, and now his Party has let down Israel — our closest ally in the Middle East." Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Iowa) tweeted.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy ...the GOP house majority whip. He replaces Eric Cantor, who got whupped because his politix are like Kevin McCarthy's... (R-Calif.) echoed his sentiments, promising Republicans would stand with the Middle Eastern country.
"While Dems capitulate to the antisemitic influence of their radical members, Republicans will always stand with Israel," McCarthy wrote.

[ToloNews] The Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... have asked to address world leaders at the United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... in New York this week and nominated their Doha-based front man Suhail Shaheen as Afghanistan's U.N. ambassador, according to a letter seen by Rooters on Tuesday.
Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi made the request in a letter to U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres ...Portuguese politician and diplomat, ninth Secretary-General of the United Nations. Previously, he was the UN High Commissioner for Refugees between 2005 and 2015. He was the Prime Minister of Portugal from 1995 to 2002 and was the Secretary-General of the Socialist Party from 1992 to 2002. He served as President of the Socialist International from 1999 to 2005. In both a 2012 and 2014 poll, the Portuguese public ranked him as the best Prime Minister of the previous 30 years... on Monday. Muttaqi asked to speak during the annual high-level meeting of the General Assembly, which finishes on Monday.
Guterres' spokesperson, Farhan Haq, confirmed Muttaqi's letter. The move sets up a showdown with Ghulam Isaczai, the U.N. ambassador in New York representing Afghanistan's government ousted last month by the Taliban.
Haq said the rival requests for Afghanistan's U.N. seat had been sent to a nine-member credentials committee, whose members include the United States, China and Russia. The committee is unlikely to meet on the issue before Monday, so it is doubtful that the Taliban foreign minister will address the world body.
Eventual U.N. acceptance of the ambassador of the Taliban would be an important step in Taliban's bid for international recognition, which could help unlock badly needed funds for the cash-strapped Afghan economy.
Guterres has said that the Taliban's desire for international recognition is the only leverage other countries have to press for inclusive government and respect for rights, particularly for women, in Afghanistan.
The Taliban letter said Isaczai's mission "is considered over and that he no longer represents Afghanistan," said Haq.
Until a decision is made by the credentials committee Isaczai will remain in the seat, according to the General Assembly rules. He is currently scheduled to address the final day of the meeting on Sept. 27, but it was not immediately clear if any countries might object in the wake of the Taliban letter.
The committee traditionally meets in October or November to assess the credentials of all U.N. members before submitting a report for General Assembly approval before the end of the year. The committee and General Assembly usually operate by consensus on credentials, diplomats said.
Others members of the committee are the Bahamas, Bhutan, Chile, Namibia, Sierra Leone and Sweden.
When the Taliban last ruled between 1996 and 2001 the ambassador of the Afghan government they toppled remained the U.N. representative after the credentials committee deferred its decision on rival claims to the seat.
The decision was postponed "on the understanding that the current representatives of Afghanistan accredited to the United Nations would continue to participate in the work of the General Assembly," according to the committee report.
[AlAhram] The Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... are challenging the credentials of the ambassador from Afghanistan's former government and asking to speak at the General Assembly's high-level meeting of world leaders this week
The new rulers of Afghanistan have an uphill battle in their efforts to be recognized in time to address other world leaders at the United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... this year.
The Taliban are challenging the credentials of the ambassador from Afghanistan's former government and asking to speak at the General Assembly's high-level meeting of world leaders this week, according to a letter sent to the United Nations.
The decision now rests with a U.N. committee that generally meets in November and will issue a ruling ``in due course,`` the General Assembly's spokeswoman said Wednesday.
U.N. officials are confronting this dilemma just over a month after the Taliban, ejected from Afghanistan by the United States and its allies after 9/11, swept back into power by taking over territory with surprising speed as U.S. forces prepared to withdraw from the country at the end of August. The Western-backed government collapsed on Aug. 15.
In cases of disputes over seats at the United Nations, the General Assembly's nine-member credentials committee must meet to make a decision. Letters from Afghanistan's currently recognized U.N. ambassador, Ghulam Isaczai, who represents the former government, and from Taliban Foreign Minister Ameer Khan Muttaqi, are before the committee, assembly spokeswoman Monica Grayley said.
``Only the committee can decide when to meet,'' Grayley said.
The committee's members are the United States, Russia, China, Bahama, Bhutan, Chile, Namibia, Sierra Leone and Sweden.
Afghanistan is listed as the final speaker of the ministerial meeting on Monday, Sept. 27, and if there no decision by then, Isaczai, Afghanistan's currently recognized U.N. ambassador, will give the address.
When the Taliban last ruled from 1996 to 2001, the U.N. refused to recognize their government and instead gave Afghanistan's seat to the previous, warlord-dominated government of President Burhanuddin Rabbani ... the gentlemanly murdered legitimate president of Afghanistan... , who was killed by a jacket wallah in 2011. It was Rabbani's government that brought the late Osama bin Laden ...... who used to be alive but now he's not...... , the criminal mastermind of 9/11, to Afghanistan from Sudan in 1996.
The Taliban have said they want international recognition and financial help to rebuild the war-battered country. But the makeup of the new Taliban government poses a dilemma for the United Nations. Several of the interim ministers -- including Muttaqi -- are on the U.N.'s so-called blacklist of international turbans and funders of terrorism.
Credentials committee members could also use Taliban recognition as leverage to press for a more inclusive government that guarantees human rights ...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedom at the convenience of the state... , especially for girls who were barred from going to school during their previous rule, and women who weren't able to work.
[GREATERKASHMIR] The world has never been more threatened or more divided, and is facing the "greatest cascade" of crises, UN Secretary General António Guterres ...Portuguese politician and diplomat, ninth Secretary-General of the United Nations. Previously, he was the UN High Commissioner for Refugees between 2005 and 2015. He was the Prime Minister of Portugal from 1995 to 2002 and was the Secretary-General of the Socialist Party from 1992 to 2002. He served as President of the Socialist International from 1999 to 2005. In both a 2012 and 2014 poll, the Portuguese public ranked him as the best Prime Minister of the previous 30 years... told global leaders on Tuesday, sounding an alarm over the COVID-19 pandemic, a climate crisis pummeling the planet and an upheaval in Afghanistan and other nations that is thwarting peace. Two words: French Revolution. Robespierre. Napoleon Bonaparte. Austerlitz. Corunna. Badajoz. Lines of Torres Vedras. Waterloo.
Guterres, in his address to the opening of the General Debate of the 76th Session of the General Assembly, said that human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... are under fire, science is under assault and economic lifelines for the most vulnerable are coming too little and too late, if they come at all, and solidarity is missing in action just when the world need it the most. Two words: Romulus Augustus. Vandals and Visigoths. Huns. The murder of Aetius.
"I am here to sound the alarm: The world must wake up. We are on the edge of an abyss — and moving in the wrong direction. Our world has never been more threatened. Or more divided. We face the greatest cascade of crises in our lifetimes," he said. One word: Mohammad. Genghis Khan. Tamerlane. Turks, Seljuk and Ottoman. Sack of Constantinople. Fall of the Byzantine Empire.
The annual high-level week, which had to be held virtually last year due to the raging COVID-19 pandemic, returned to a hybrid format this year with over 100 Heads of State and Government as well as foreign ministers and diplomats scheduled to address world leaders in-person from the iconic General Assembly Hall here. Two words: Great Plague. Actually repeated Great Plagues. A third of Europe dead.
Outlining the crises facing the world today, Guterres said that the COVID-19 pandemic has supersized glaring inequalities, the climate crisis is pummeling the planet, the upheaval from Afghanistan to Æthiopia to Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... and beyond has thwarted peace and a surge of mistrust and misinformation is polarising people and paralysing societies. Two words: Adolf Hitler. Anschluss. I feel a lot more secure in my world than my grandfather did in his. All he had to worry about was Archduke Ferdinand, the fall of the Hapsburg Empire, and Kaiser Bill. And D'Annunzio and Benito Mussolini.

[AlAhram] Idlib faces all the challenges that places the world over have during the pandemic: Its intensive care units are largely full
Coronavirus cases are surging to the worst levels of the pandemic in a rebel stronghold in Syria _ a particularly devastating development in a region where scores of hospitals have been bombed and that doctors and nurses have fled in droves during a decade of war.
The total number of cases seen in Idlib province _ an overcrowded enclave with a population of 4 million, many of them internally displaced _ has more than doubled since the beginning of August to more than 61,000. In recent weeks, daily new infections have repeatedly shot past 1,500, and authorities reported 34 deaths on Sunday alone _ figures that are still believed to be undercounts because many infected people don't report to authorities.

[AlAhram] The terror operations during August in the African continent killed 460 people, injured 120 others and kidnapped 30 civilians and military personnel
Egypt’s al-Azhar Observatory said on Wednesday that 50 terrorist attacks took place in Africa during August, making it the "bloodiest" month this year so far for the continent.
This is compared to 49 terror operations during July, the Observatory said in a statement.
Somalia's al-Shabaab ...... Somalia's version of the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... , functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... terrorist group has been the most active during August, the Observatory said, as it carried out 15 terrorist operations in Somalia and three in Kenya.
The operations carried out by the group killed 50 people and maimed more than 50 others, the Observatory added.
"The movement continues to intensify its terrorist activity to make gains on the ground on a daily basis," the Observatory said.
It warned that the continuation of such operations may impose the group’s agenda as well as its political, social and religious goals on the Somali people, especially as the group seeks power.
"This is likened by some people to the Afghan scene," the Observatory added.
It also referred to "unprecedented losses" the group bore as a result of military operations by Somali forces, backed by the African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... Mission in Somalia (AMISOM).
These military operations have killed around 430 gunnies in Somalia and caused the areas under their control to shrink, a matter that led some of the group’s members to turn themselves in to the Somali government, the Observatory added.
According to the eighth edition of the Global Terrorism Index (GTI) published in 2020, ISIS’s (ISIS) affiliate groups have become especially prominent in sub-Saharan Africa, increasing deaths affiliated to the terrorist group.
The report says sub-Saharan Africa includes seven of ten countries with the largest rise in terrorism, which are Burkina Faso ...The country in west Africa that they put where Upper Volta used to be. Its capital is Oogadooga, or something like that. Its president is currently Blaise Compaoré, who took office in 1987 and will leave office feet first, one way or the other... , DR Congo, Mozambique, Niger Mali, Cameron and Æthiopia.
Late in July, UN experts said in a report to the Security Council that Africa became the region hardest hit by terrorism in the first half of this year due to the spread of the ISIS and al-Qaeda groups and their affiliates.
