1- 100 children leave orphanage due to lack of facilities

PAN: Food shortage and cold weather compelled over 100 children to run away from Ghazni province orphanage, a report claimed on Sunday.


2- Afghanistan's refugee crisis 'ignored'

The Guardian: A growing humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan is being overlooked as an unknown number of people are fleeing their homes, caught between security forces and the Taliban, Red Cross officials have told the Guardian.


3- Swan song for NATO: The real cost of defeat in Forgettistan

Spero News: It was supposed to be "the good war"; a war against terror; a war of liberation. It was intended to fix the eyes of the world on America's state of the art weaponry, its crack troops and its overwhelming firepower. It was supposed to demonstrate�once and for all-- that the world's only superpower could no longer be beaten or resisted; that Washington could deploy its troops anywhere inn the world and crush its adversaries at will.


4- Iran deports Afghans despite call for winter halt

AFP: Kabul is seeking an urgent meeting with Teheran about the deportation of Afghans, the government said on Wednesday, with 7,000 forced out in the past month despite a pledge to halt expulsions over winter.


5- Fear and Resolve in Kabul

The Washington Post: With its fortress-like outer walls and posh interior, its sumptuous brunches and post-sauna massages, the Kabul Serena Hotel was a symbol of both progress and privilege -- a haven for foreign visitors in a harsh, unfamiliar environment and an inaccessible tower for most poor Afghans.
