Col Tim Collins says 'we don't do notches on rifle butt' and kill-count talk could increase Harry's personal security risk.
Is this the mindset of the army and does it explain why some atrocities were committed?” I don’t know who the targets were in Harry’s case but of course I find them distasteful. Harry is suing the UK government over a decision to withdraw taxpayer-funded royal protection for him and his family after he stepped back from royal duties in 2020. Harry writes that “in the era of Apaches and laptops” it was possible to establish “with exactness how many enemy combatants I had killed. It was possible to establish a kill count, the prince said, because he was able to watch gun-cam footage of every mission he flew on. Among the killers of Afghans, not many have your decency to reveal their conscience and confess to their war crimes.”
Harry detailed his time fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan including his number of kills.
“Fighting in Afghanistan, Harry gained a very strong reputation, both in the army and in the country. He was forced to return home when a foreign publication broke the embargo. These comments will damage that reputation, and he won’t be looked on in quite the same light by people who thought highly of him before. is there any confidence he will not break?” “In the era of Apaches and laptops [he was able to say] with exactness how many enemy combatants I had killed. Makes you wonder the people he’s hanging around with. “Love you #PrinceHarry but you need to shut up! Harry’s time in the military included two deployments to Afghanistan. “I do not even believe what he said about the Mujaheddin. It’s about decency and respect for the lives you have taken,” he wrote. It’s not about macho codes. He is a loser and scared to go to a combat zone.

He said the government was still working on the details of how women could be educated. There have been signs that some ministries did not agree with the ban, but experience since August 2021 when the Taliban retook control of the country is that hardline Pashtuns based in Kandahar ultimately hold sway, leaving other Taliban members to explain and implement their decisions. The UN as an organisation is not yet subject to the same ban on women working, but much of its aid programme is delivered by NGOs. He added: “There’s a lot of experience in Afghanistan, even today, where there is an edict, but it’s not enforced in a consistent way in different parts of the country.

Al-Azhar is one of the major Islamic centers in the world. The reason for our decline in all areas, and the continuation of political crises, lies in the mismanagement of government funds, despite the availability of all the ingredients for success. There is no doubt that the Iranians who roam the streets of Tehran today, in search of liberation from the slavery of the mullah regime, are asking themselves – whether their condition today is better than it was during the rule of the Shah? They have also drawn on the experiences of others, including the Shah in Tehran and former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, who both believed the Americans. As for Iranian pilgrims, they were, until the beginning of the ill-fated revolution at the end of the seventies, the richest of all the Muslim pilgrims. Everyone was shocked by the American (and Western) decision to abandon one of their most important allies and refuse to offer him asylum. This is a very difficult task given the country’s history and the series of disasters that have befallen it for centuries and at every turn. In the most recent ranking published by these organizations, Kuwait ranked 77 out of 157 countries, placing it at the bottom of the list of Gulf countries, and lagging behind countries that are far less developed and rich. It is not important whether the movement attributes this ruling to its own interpretation of Islam, or whether it derives it from the prevailing traditional and clan customs and values. The heroic resistance shown by Afghan women, who are claiming their self-evident rights for work and education, stems mainly from the refusal of Afghan society to reform itself. The third point relates to Islamic State, which launches operations, some of which reach Kabul, in addition to separate attacks throughout Afghanistan.

Along with the humanitarian crisis, coupled by a majority population facing hunger and the sanctions imposed by the international community, a new event has struck the country. The taliban's most recent announcement was to ban women from attending ...
The ban is just part of a series of rights and freedoms taken away from women in the country. Not only will this ban severely affect women’s education, it will also hinder professional help and service provision to other women in Afghanistan, creating a series of negative domino effects. Even though it is difficult to fight against the Taliban regime, many Afghan men have shown solidarity towards women by protesting, disobeying officers, resigning from university positions, and refusing to sit in on exams. Such a ban will result in half of the Afghan population unable to attain post-primary education. On 20th December, the Minister of Higher Education, Neda Mohammad Nadeem, instructed all universities to suspend the access of female students to classes, just one day before universities’ final exams.
