Chandigarh, August 17

Iranian journalist and activist Masih Alinejad has posted a heartbreaking video of an Afghani girl on twitter, where she is talking about how the world treats Afghanistan and that the war-torn country will soon be forgotten.

Alinejad posted the video on Twitter on Friday, ahead of the Taliban’s Kabul take over.

She wrote in the caption, “Tears of a hopeless Afghan girl whose future is getting shattered as the Taliban advance in the country. My heart breaks for women of Afghanistan. The world has failed them. History will write this.”

Lakhs of Afghans have fled their homes since the end of May amid fears that the Taliban would reimpose strict rules of Islam.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
