‘Moral obligation’: Almost 10,000 sign open letter pleading with PM to act on Afghanistan | davidestcourt

Almost 10,000 people including academics, actors and lawyers are urging Prime Minister Scott Morrison to help Afghan nationals, saying Australia has a moral obligation as the humanitarian crisis in Kabul continues.

Mr Haidari is a member of the Hazara people, who primarily live in the mountainous region of central Afghanistan and who have been persecuted in the country over multiple generations. On Tuesday Mr Morrison said Australia would not be able to rescue many of the Afghan personnel who assisted with the Australian mission.

“After almost two decades of intervention and promises to the Afghan people, promises of protection for persecuted groups, women, democratic freedoms and rule of law, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has a moral obligation to act in response to the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan.”

davidestcourt I want to sign the letter that says “join the queue there are millions of refugees “ or the letter asking “ how many are Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Japan or China taking ?”

davidestcourt Gettr is growing day by day, the big techs oligarchs are deeply afraid.

davidestcourt Disgusted to see footage of all the men trying to escape, in the streets, at the airport, on the runway, in the plane, all fending for themselves. Forget them. Get vulnerable women and children out.

davidestcourt Oooooo actors!!

davidestcourt I have a petition with 20,000 signatures saying we should just let the Taliban chill

davidestcourt Those 10,000. I wonder if Australia was invaded they would stay to defend it with their lives or be in the first plane to NZ? I'd like to think Australian men and women would die defending our country to death in their driveways. I would. But not those 10,000 I'm guessing.

Taliban 2.0’s claim to be ‘inclusive’ hides its ‘warped’ brutality, experts sayThe Taliban leadership has vowed to bring an 'open, inclusive Islamic government' to Afghanistan, but experts believe Taliban 2.0 will be more dangerous, powerful, and richer than ever before. The Taliban seen to have similar values to the Republican party in the US. There could be an opportunity for a political alliance. This shows how the mind can be tricked to think wrong calls are reasonable, whats wrong with Afghanstan being richer, isn't that the objective of all governments - sad freedom of speech has no immediate response - this is illogical. Pretty obvious they have been fighting a war for 2 decades and now expected to run a country . How long before they will itch for bloodshed again ...the world should not take this lighlty

Taliban declare 'amnesty' across Afghanistan, urge women to join government, as evacuation flights from Kabul resumeTaliban spokesman Enamullah Samangani says women in a Taliban-ruled Afghanistan have no reason to be afraid, with citizens fearful of a return to authoritative ways after the collapse of Afghanistan's government. Get the women out of there. The Taliban are laughing because women under the occupation were educated. The Taliban are laughing at that.
