Afghanistan: Rescued animals 'in amazing condition' in UK - BBC News
Most of the 150 animals rescued by "Pen" Farthing's charity are to be adopted by veterans.

How can anybody celebrate this whilst people who wanted out (including British Nationals) are still stuck there. On news reports tonight of a 7 month old baby not allowed out but parents were... Then 150 Greyhounds and such sat in plane hold. Makes no sense to me.
While very, very, very wrong, they are probably actually more capable.Boris Johnsons has gone on Holiday leaving senior whitehall official to negotiate with the Taliban
Weird weird world. Oddly the parody of a nation rising to the defence of geronimo the llama with tb but remaining stum about all the females in afghanistan losing the right to be educated seem wrong, but appropriate in the hypocritical reality were in.Afghanistan: Rescued animals 'in amazing condition' in UK - BBC News

Do you think he is going to see Mahatma Gandhi in order to discuss partition?
In response to claims that he had been slow to grasp the scale of the crisis, including by leaving on holiday at a critical time, Raab revealed he was travelling to the region including Pakistan on Wednesday evening. He will first go to Doha in Qatar, where the Taliban have an office.

It's appalling but not sure what we can do about it. Can't invade place, that has been proven time and time again. I, m sure the trillions spent could have been used more effectively tho, by a more subtle approach but who knows. Should we merely stand by whilst other countries go about their business or make judgment calls and exert our, assumed higher, moral codes on them. We seem to be leaving China to do what it wants but West tried to steer Afghanistan to the righteous path... By killing thousands.. Think there is a moral contradiction in there somewhere. But which is right. I haven't a clue.
Suspect the last 20 years has been more about reprisal for 911 rather than altruistic moral reasons.
I suspect the Chinese are correct in their approach. The West did not kill thousands in Afghanistan ..it was Hundreds of thousands.
"Should we merely stand by whilst other countries go about their business?"
Emphatically YES.
"We seem to be leaving China to do what it wants."
As we definitely should.
I believe as Danidl posted, "I suspect the Chinese are correct in their approach."
The One Party democracy actually works better than our Western democracy models.

Being pedantic, thousands is still hundreds of thousands,but accept the point.
And neither of us has an answer. You raised issue about plight of females in Afghanistan yet also suggest interference is wrong.
Perhaps female Afgans should raise issue with ECJ to discuss.
Who are the Uyghurs and why is China being accused of genocide?
China has been accused by the US of genocide and crimes against humanity against the Muslim minority group.

Much as I can relate to both of your convictions about being right, it's probably worth pointing out that it's the kind of fundamentalism that can trigger wars and lengthy foreign invasions.
That is fair comment , but then I have not advocated the Singapore method of governance, or the USAs or the UKs .. A colleague of mine, a once senior academic in EAST GERMANY when it was DDR, had scathing comments about the New Germany post reunification Now I do wonder how a brow beaten black woman in a getto in Washington , would respond to living in Beijing and sure of adaquate health care and full food and impartial policing.
The fact of the matter is that US involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq has fuelled poverty , corruption and was not popular. Had their actions been popular, Taliban would not have succeeded. Regime Change was either a con or a fantasy. The Chinese are not pretending they are doing anything other than trade.
Sorry, but you are off beam here with me. Although I express a view on political and religious matters and often firmly stick to it, I'll never back enforcing it.
Simply because any attempt at enforcing validates others forcing their view.
