A Call for demonstration

Dear Afghans living abroad,
The Federation of Afghan Resident Organizations in Europe (FAROE) calls on you,
wherever you are, to join us in protest campaign, in sphere of solidarity and unity on September
11, 2021 against the governments of US and Pakistan, the countries that caused
the ongoing humanitarian, political and human rights crisis in Afghanistan.
What happened in our country in the last few weeks, is a massive humanitarian
and human rights tragedy. All the rights and freedoms of Afghans living inside
the country are under threat after Taliban takeover in Afghanistan on August
the 15th . The national flag is replaced by the Taliban flag.
As our people burn in the flames of war and the resulting homelessness, and
millions of Afghans mourn their rights and freedoms, some so-called Afghanistan
experts try to justify the western diplomatic, political, and intelligence
failures in Afghanistan, by implying that the majority of Afghan people have
the share the same views with the Taliban on issues such as women rights and
civil rights.
This is an unjust picture of the Afghans mentality. Our compatriots living in
the west, have a moral duty to let the voice of our progressive and
freedom-loving people be heard by the world.
September the 11th , the day that the events of the last two decades
in Afghanistan are tied to, is the right moment to demonstrate simultaneously
in different cities against the USA for paving the way for the return of the
Taliban and against Pakistan for being the mentor and sponsor of the Taliban
and other terrorist groups in our region. We call upon anti-war groups and
other people who love Afghanistan to join us.
So far, Afghan organizations in The Hague and Amsterdam (Netherlands), Berlin,
Hamburg and Hanover (Germany), London (UK), Stockholm, Malmo and Gothenburg
(Sweden) and Oslo (Norway) have expressed readiness to host and organize
demonstrations in their cities. We call on all Afghans, politicians and people
of the host countries and human rights activists to organize such
demonstrations on this day in their own city or join the nearest demonstration.
For information and coordination, contact FAROE on the e-mail address below

Demonstration date: September 11, 2021
Time: from 2 pm to 5 pm
