Committee Lodges Complaint to AGO on Afghan-Turk School Raid Case

The Afghan-Turk Students’ Parents Committee on Saturday submitted its complaint to the Attorney General Office over the “illegal” action of the security forces against the school in Kabul.
The parents of students who were gathered at the Attorney General’s Office, urged investigation into the security forces’ raid on Afghan-Turk Girls school in Kabul.
“We came here to submit our [complaint] letter, so the institutions which have taken this illegal action, get investigated,” said Yusuf Pashtun, Head of the Afghan-Turk Students’ Parents Committee.
On Tuesday, last week, four teachers of Afghan-Turk schools, three Turkish and one Afghan national were detained by the security forces when their vehicle en route to school was stopped by the Afghan intelligence operatives. Later in the evening, the security forces raided an Afghan-Turk female school in Kabul.
“It will be a national treason, If the teachers were not released and were handed over the Turkish government,” said Fazl Ahmad Manawi, a member of the parents’ committee.
However, the Attorney General’s Office is expected to launch its investigations on the issue. “The Attorney General’s Office pledged us to comprehensively probe the case and will take actions base on the rule of law and will discuss the issue with the president,” said Abdul Shukur Dadras.
This comes as it has been said that the Afghan leadership has signed no extradition agreement with Turkish government to hand over the individuals.

Three-match ODI series sees Afghanistan take on Ireland

A big stand-off is building as the first of a three-match ODI series gets underway between Afghanistan and Ireland on Thursday.
These three matches form part of the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League.
Last time Afghanistan and Ireland met in an ODI was 21 May 2019 in Belfast, where the visitors won by 126 runs.
The Afghans were also the team to cut Ireland’s World Cup dreams short three years ago when they knocked them out in the qualifiers back in 2018. Afghanistan have not played an International match since March 2020.
An unofficial warm-up match was played between the two sides last weekend, providing a chance for the teams to size each other up. It could prove to be a useful exercise in deciphering the opposition ahead of the match.
Andrew Balbirnie, Ireland captain, said: “We’re fully confident that we play good cricket and that we can come away with 30 points, but we’re going to have to do it (play good cricket) for all three games – they come thick and fast, but that’s what everyone is here for: we’re here to get 30 points and if we don’t come away with that, we’ll be disappointed.”
The first ODI between the two teams gets underway Thursday at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

New US president tells Americans ‘we will get through this together’

Joe Biden was sworn in as America’s 46th President on Wednesday in Washington DC.
Biden will preside over a deeply polarized electorate, with millions of voters still believing defeated Trump’s false claims of election fraud, and a divided Congress, where gridlock looms as the default and success will come only by compromise, Reuters reported.
Few presidents have taken power in circumstances such as these: a still-raging pandemic claiming lives, a continuing threat of armed insurrection and a defiant former president who faces a Senate trial charged with encouraging an attack on his country’s capital.
Speaking at his inauguration, Biden said:” “We will get through this together! Together!.
He said the world is watching today and that America has been tested but it has come out stronger for it.
He also said the US will lead by the power of example.
He also called for a moment of silence for all those who died from COVID-19 in the past year.
