جمهور رئیس غني د لوی اختر په مناسبت پیغام کې: دا اختر د هیواد د امنیتي او دفاعي ځواکونو اختر دی؛ دوی او د دوی کورنیو ته د نېکمرغه لوی اختر مبارکي وایم او له ټولو هغو کورنیو څخه مننه کوم، چې خپل اولادونه یې له خاورې او خلکو د دفاع لپاره د امنیتي او دفاعي ځواکونو لیکو ته استولي دي.
1/5 Today marks my last day as Afg Amb to the US. Being the 1st woman to serve in this position was a great honor & great responsibility. I am pleased to have accomplished much, & I am proud to have always acted with integrity & wholeheartedly promoted the Afg people's interests
Thank you @AymanMSNBC for having me on today’s show.
Ambassador @RoyaRahmani comments on the future of U.S.-Afghan relations amid the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan. @AymanM trib.al/zl0GV95
3/3 These attacks are unconscionable. They deliberately target the stability of Afg & of the region. Whether in Kabul, Logar, or any of the many provinces who have suffered through attacks on schools, these students are our future. We cannot afford to turn a blind eye.
1/3 This morning, I woke to an early Mother’s Day message. Moments later, I received the horrific news of another attack on an Afghan school. In Kabul, hundreds of parents are not preparing for Mother’s Day celebrations. Instead, they worry for their children & grieve their loss.
2/3 As the day goes on, we see the casualty count continue to rise. From 10 to 30 to upwards of 75. Behind each of these numbers is a community who has been devastated, a family who lost their loved one, and a mother who lost her child on the day before Mother’s Day.
Commending the good work of @ManhattanDA and @DHSgov in the successful repatriation of 33 artifacts to the people of Afghanistan. U.S. respect for Afghanistan's diverse and rich heritage is just one facet of our #EnduringPartnership.
Thank you to everyone involved in the investigation and repatriation efforts, especially @ManhattanDA & @HSINewYork, & we thank all who participated in the ceremony, including the Afghan Consul General, Deputy UN Representative, Afghan community members, ambassadors, & others.
Our #EnduringPartnership includes working together to protect & preserve Afghanistan's incredible cultural heritage. We are happy to see these antiquities returned back to the Afghan people. With respect for an extraordinary past, we hope they can build a peaceful future.
Ambassador @RoyaRahmani finalized the repatriation of 33 trafficked ancient artifacts back to the care of the Afghan people in a ceremony at the NY DA’s office. The diversity of the 2nd to 8th-century artifacts recovered are reflective of AFG's history as a cultural crossroads.
Today's repatriation demonstrates the success of cooperative efforts, & #HSINewYork is committed to working w/ @ManhattanDA & our global partners to investigate those who benefit from the pilfering of cultural property. w/ @Embassy_of_AFG #HSI #HSIArtCrime xsm.link/5sw44d
"To support women of Afghanistan, it's not just a humanitarian issue. It is a national security issue," @RoyaRahmani tells @NPRKelly. "We have seen and it is proven that for nations to be stable and successful, the rights of women must be respected" npr.org/2021/04/15/987…
