Afghan children play on an old military tank, one of many seen in the Afghan capital of Kabul March 20, 2001. Twenty-one years of war in Afghanistan have not just prevented new construction, they have obliterated much of what existed before.
Shame on us to allow our muslim children not get a good education and be exposed to western hypocricy and negative sentiment.
Afghan refugee woman and her children stay inside her makeshift plastic sheet tent in the Jallozai camp, April 3, 2001. The United Nations on Tuesday has accused Pakistan of reneging on an agreement to let adequate supplies of emergency aid into an Afghan refugee camp, where some 70,000 people are barely existing in squalid shelters.
Shame on us to live in solid houses when our own brothers and sisters live like this in poverty when even the government refuses to recognise them. What is wrong with us?
An Afghan girl walks through a flooded portion of the refugee camp in Jallozai, where at least 70,000 Afghans crowd under plastic sheeting on March 31, 2001. Thousand of Afghan refugees living in the squalid camp of makeshift plastic tents have been hit hard by recent rains and could face epidemics, the U.N. refugee agency said on Saturday. This is why we are still third world. Shame on us.
I am a muslim and hence I am Pakistani & I am Afghanistani & I am a humanitarian.
Your heart may be in the right place... mushi mian, but the way you chose to present it was quite negative. Look at the title of this post.
If you start something by calling everyone as 'pathetic ignorant fools' what sort of reception do u expect?
The real art is to present your feelings and opinions to others in a way that creates a positive impact and convince them to accept your point of view.
Insulting and Aik waar do tukday approach may not work here.
Pakistan does not have the capacity to support more refugees. Foriegn aid has dried up becasue of donor "fatigue", and if we allow aid for this camp, only more Afghanis will come to Pakistan, looking for help.
Pakistan has done enough to clean up the mess, partly created by the likes of the US.
1.7 MILLION refuges in Pakistan in not
"all talk and no action that is what is wrong with everybody".
Pakistan has tried its best. The UN refuses to put up aid camps in Afghanistan and only decides to do so in Pakistan. This will drive even more people into Pakistan.
The world is responsible. If they start helping the Taliban in stead of going against them the people will not suffer. The taliban are not against their own people!
Pristine: You are absolutely right, I guess one should always think with a cool mind and not get too carried away with emotion. I apologise for the rude title.
The afghan refugee situation in Pakistan is an aspect which has been mis-handled for so many years now. The Pakistan government still labels them as 'refugees' and hence puts them in that category where only 'foreign aid' will be given to them. Mya friends, don't blame the government. Are you not as responsible for this situation as I am. Let our muslim brothers and sisters come to Pakistan from Afghanistan and let Pakistanis move to Afghanistan and raise awareness within your own communities for the need for resources of wealth and enterpreunership to handle this dilemma.
How many of us have given tickets to attended parties and how many of us have reached into our pockets to give charity? How many of us have even been to the refugee sites and how many of us have been to the mall? How many of us have raised their voice against the authorities as to why this aspect has been ignored? How many of us have actually cared?
I guess not many, and my friends, we are all talk and no work. This is why we are 3rd world still and the others are ahead of us.
May Allah help the misforunate and those striving to get something done in the way of Allah and put the tenderness in our hearts for our brothers and sisters to love for them what we love for ourselves.
nothing new
there is no point of dicussing these things up.every body knows what right and wrong.Any ways most of us are out side of pakistan.
nothing good could done under rule taliban.
