#IRAN: The neighborhood of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Kurdistan and the Mullahs. Bill Roggio, FDD https://pajhwok.com/2024/04/22/iran-afghanistan-confer-on-expanding-relations/ 1880 Khyber Pass

GOOD EVENING: The show begins in Iran's neighboring countries of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Baluchistan, and Kurdistan, asking about relations with Tehran. We then move to Columbia University and Yale University campuses for demonstrations with antisemitic messages. Next, we go to Ukraine's front line, where troops await weapons and ammunition, and then to Kyiv and the Rada for a vote on mobilization and demobilization (which has not yet occurred). We explore what could have been Israel's counterstrike, with John Bolton suggesting striking suspected nuclear weapons facilities. We then shift focus to East Asia and the alliance against the People's Republic of China's People's Liberation Army (PLA). From there, we travel to Caracas, Quito, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, and Bogota. Finally, we discuss the PLA Aerospace Force, a combat command focusing on orbit and the moon. 1957

//The Wire//2130Z March 19, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: CONFLICT ERUPTS ON AFGHAN/PAKISTANI BORDER. CHINA INCREASES PARTNERSHIP WITH NIGER.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Niger: As Nigerien attitudes towards an American presence in Niger remain tepid, Chinese influence continues to grow throughout the region. Yesterday, the Governor of the State of Niger met with representatives of the China Railway Corporation with the intent to explore the options of creating a railway network that would span the majority of the country.Afghanistan: Conflict has erupted between Taliban forces and Pakistani border guards as Afghan forces seize key terrain in what is traditionally referred to as the semi-autonomous Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA) in Pakistan.-HomeFront-Texas: The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Texas, ruling that the state can enforce immigration law by making illegal entry a state crime.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: As the extremely rugged terrain along the Afghanistan/Pakistan border is some of the most remote and inaccessible land on Earth, it is challenging to determine how far Afghan forces have gone in conducting limited assaults into what is technically Pakistan. The nature of the conflict is also likely not a full-scale invasion, but rather typical of the conflict throughout the region; mostly skirmishes and limited engagements between small units on both sides. However, this does indicate that Afghanistan is not just interesting in, but also capable of, settling old scores with historic adversaries.Analyst: S2A1//END REPORT//

- Trục xuất người nước ngoài cư trú bất hợp pháp là chính sách mà nhiều quốc gia đang áp dụng để quản lý người nhập cư. Tuy nhiên, chiến dịch trục xuất của chính phủ Pakistan hiện nay gây sự chú ý bởi quy mô và những tác động của nó. Trong những ngày qua, hàng chục nghìn người Afghanistan ở Pakistan đã đổ về các cửa khẩu biên giới khi ngày 1/11 là thời hạn chót để những người nhập cư trái phép vào Pakistan phải hồi hương hoặc đối mặt với nguy cơ bị bắt giữ và trục xuất. Ước tính có tới 1,7 triệu người Afghanistan nằm trong diện phải hồi hương. Chính sách trục xuất này được nhận định sẽ có những tác động lan rộng.

In a lively conversation between Robbo and Johnno, the two delve into the recent Afghanistan-Pakistan match in the World Cup. They discuss the performances of both teams, analyzing strategies, bowlers, and players. Afghanistan's well-executed game plan, utilizing spinners and applying pressure, earns their admiration. They highlight Afghanistan's potential to chase the target in fewer overs and question Pakistan's lack of a coherent strategy. The focus then shifts to the upcoming match between South Africa and Bangladesh. Robbo and Johnno both predict a victory for South Africa, emphasizing the strength of their batting lineup. They discuss the possible inclusion of Hendricks, considering his exceptional performance in the previous game.

World Cup Daily 2023, Day 19: Afghanistan and Pakistan at Chennai, and it was spin time - four of them picked by Afghanistan, who went into a slow-bowling battle with Babar Azam and Abdullah Shafique. Near the end it was IFTIMANIA, which pushed the score along. Then it was down to Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran to produce another of their opening specials. Could Rahmat Shah and Hashmatullah Shahidi get the job done?

With the drama around Imran Khan's arrest peaking in Pakistan's Punjab, Sanjay Dixit catches up with Tahir Gora to discuss whether the seeds of Pakistan's woes were sown at the very inception in the way this country was created, and the way it threw out its most productive classes in the name of Islam. Add military domination and the conundrum is complete.

In this episode, we discuss how one year since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan has been marked by a collapsed economy, humanitarian crisis, violent crackdowns on civil protests, and severe restrictions on media and the rights of women. In Around Southasia in 5 minutes, we unpack the recent arrests (or attempted arrests) under anti-terrorism laws, the devastating floods in Pakistan, developments in the Bilkis Bano case, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet's official visit to Bangladesh, and more. Plus in our culture section Bookmarked, we talk about the second season of the Netflix reality series Indian Matchmaking. And to mark 75 years of Partition, we revisit Garm Hava (1974)and discuss the film's relevance today.

Hello and welcome to number 75! This week I am joined by François-Xavier Paradis-Garneau (Frank) who talks about his hitchhiking adventures in Afghanistan this year and also his experience of hitchhiking in Pakistan either side of his trip to Afghanistan. Frank was one of the first tourists if not the first tourist to visit Afghanistan after the Taliban took back control of the country. Whilst in Pakistan, Frank collaborated with the Taliban to get a tourist visa for Afghanistan and then he extended it three times whilst in the country. We talk about what it is like to travel there by hitchhiking, the endless checkpoints where he is checked for his documents, the amazing hospitality of the local Afghans, his favourite parts of the country and some of the awful roads. You can check out his BBC documentary about it below (there is a story to that in this episode). We then delve into Pakistan where Frank travelled for 6 months. We concentrate on the northern region around Kumrat Valley to the Shandur National Park and as far east as Gilgit. He tells hilarious anecdotes of bouncing off on a polo game, meeting some former royal family, nearly getting hypothermia in Darkut as well as many other tidbits. A super inspirational chat about travelling it its most raw form and we go deep into how friendly the locals are.

Making his way from Earth to the cosmos, CAPT Cassidy was selected as an astronaut candidate by NASA in 2004. Assigned his first spaceflight in 2009 as a mission specialist aboard the STS-127, he became the 500th person in history to fly into space, as well as the second-ever SEAL. In subsequent flight experiences, CAPT Cassidy was assigned to Expedition 35 in 2013 as a flight engineer and Expedition 63 as Commander of the International Space Station in 2020. While at NASA, CAPT Cassidy accumulated 378 days in space, 54 hours, and 51 minutes of spacewalk time, placing him in an elite group of four U.S. crewmembers with 10 spacewalks. He was named NASA's Chief Astronaut in 2015, a role in which he was responsible for flight assignments, mission preparation, and on-orbit support of U.S. crews and organizing astronaut office support for future launch vehicles. He served in this position for two years before returning to normal flight status. In May 2021, three-time space veteran CAPT Cassidy announced his retirement from both NASA and the Navy, transitioning into his current role as CEO and president of the National Medal of Honor Museum.Among CAPT Cassidy's awards and honors is the Bronze Star with combat “V,” the Presidential Unit Citation for leading a nine-day operation at the Zharwar Kili cave complex on the Afghanistan/Pakistan border, a second Bronze Star for combat leadership during Operation Enduring Freedom, and the NASA Exceptional Achievement Medal. He completed the 2014 Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, and spent three weeks cycling through the Amazon rainforest in 2017. CAPT Cassidy earned his Bachelor of Science in mathematics from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1993 and his Master of Science in ocean engineering from MIT in 2000. He was awarded an honorary Ph.D. from Husson University in 2015, and a second honorary Ph.D. from the University of Maine at Augusta in 2021.Exclusively represented by the Leading Authorities speakers bureau, CAPT Cassidy's talks explore the habits of effective leaders and how they can motivate their teams to overcome the obstacles in front of them, foster a high-performing culture of trust, and thrive in clutch moments when everything is on the line. With a talent for storytelling and well-timed humor, he shares his inspiring journey from the U.S. Naval Academy to becoming NASA's 15th Chief Astronaut — motivating audiences to develop a never-quit mindset to accomplish their goals and help others along the way.

Recently, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) announced its spring offensive against the Pakistan Army. The TTP's resurgence is leading to a sharp increase in terrorist activity in Pakistan. These developments, after the Taliban victory in August last year, have confounded many. While it was thought that the Taliban victory would unleash the brotherly relationship between Afghanistan and Pakistan and ensure Pak's strategic depth, the situation is far from Islamabad's control. Harshit Kukreja talks to Shrey Khanna to discuss the TTP's resurgence and the future of Afghanistan-Pakistan relations.Follow Shrey on Twitter: https://twitter.com/shreywaFollow Harshit on Twitter:https://twitter.com/harshitk43Check out Takshashila's courses: https://school.takshashila.org.in/You can listen to this show and other awesome shows on the new and improved IVM Podcast App on Android: https://ivm.today/android or iOS: https://ivm.today/iosYou can check out our website at https://www.ivmpodcasts.com

As Pakistani leaders quarrel with the neighboring Afghan Taliban over the demarcation of their shared border, USIP’s Asfandyar Mir says Pakistan’s own Taliban insurgency has “been boosted by the example of the Afghan Taliban … if things continue to escalate over the medium term, things become very difficult for Pakistan.”

Christopher J. Cassidy was selected as an astronaut by NASA in 2004 and is a veteran of three space flights, STS‐127, Expedition 35, and Expedition 63. During STS‐127, Cassidy served as a Mission Specialist and was the 500th person in history to fly into space. This mission delivered the Japanese Experiment Module Exposed Facility (JEM‐EF) and the Experiment Logistics Module Exposed Section (ELM‐ES) to the station. For Expedition 35, Cassidy and the European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Luca Parmitano had their unplanned spacewalk to replace a pump controller box cut short when Parmitano had cooling water leak into his helmet. Cassidy, a U.S. Navy SEAL, has been deployed twice to the Mediterranean and twice to Afghanistan. He has been the recipient of Bronze Star with combat ‘V' and Presidential Unit Citation for leading a nine‐day operation at the Zharwar Kili Cave on the Afghanistan/Pakistan border. Cassidy recently served as Commander on the International Space Station for Expedition 63.

Four US Navy SEALS departed one clear night in early July 2005 for the mountainous Afghanistan-Pakistan border for a reconnaissance mission. Their task was to document the activity of an al Qaeda leader rumored to have a small army in a Taliban stronghold. Five days later, only one of those Navy SEALS made it out alive.This is the story of the only survivor of Operation Redwing, SEAL team leader Marcus Luttrell, and the extraordinary firefight that led to the largest loss of life in American Navy SEAL history. His squadmates fought valiantly beside him until he was the only one left alive, blasted by an RPG into a place where his pursuers could not find him. Over the next four days, terribly injured and presumed dead, Luttrell crawled for miles through the mountains and was taken in by sympathetic villagers who risked their lives to keep him safe from surrounding Taliban warriors.A born and raised Texan, Marcus Luttrell takes us from the rigors of SEAL training, where he and his fellow SEALs discovered what it took to join the most elite of the American special forces, to a fight in the desolate hills of Afghanistan for which they never could have been prepared. His account of his squadmates' heroism and mutual support renders an experience for which two of his squadmates were posthumously awarded the Navy Cross for combat heroism that is both heartrending and life-affirming. In this rich chronicle of courage and sacrifice, honor and patriotism, Marcus Luttrell delivers a powerful narrative of modern war.
