Awaz-e-Dosti | Season 2 | Episode 11

In this episode of Awaz-e-Dosti, our host Raees Bacha brings you the latest updates concerning the Afghan community. The episode is divided into three parts.

In the first part, we present three significant news stories focusing on key developments relevant to the Afghan refugee community and the region. One story covers ISIS claiming responsibility for a bomb attack on a police vehicle in Pakistan's Balochistan province, which killed two officers and injured several others. Experts suggest increasing coordination between ISIS and the separatist Balochistan Liberation Army in the region. Recent militant attacks in Balochistan have claimed over 50 lives, with the BLA, a group designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S., taking responsibility for most of these attacks. Another story highlights Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif urging the Taliban’s interim government to take concrete and effective measures against all terrorist groups operating in Afghanistan, particularly those involved in attacks on neighboring countries. The third news report focuses on the Taliban facing potential action by the International Criminal Court for their mistreatment of women.

In the second part, we cover an important health topic: Monkeypox. This segment provides a detailed explanation of what Monkeypox is, its symptoms, how it spreads, and preventive measures. We also discuss available treatments and ways to protect against the virus.

In the third part, we share an inspiring story from Swabi, specifically from the village of Zaida. One of our active young members, Hamza Yousafzai, along with his friends, took the initiative to support a disabled person in their community. They raised funds and set up a shop for him, giving him a way to earn a livelihood and support his household.

This episode highlights community resilience, health awareness, and acts of kindness, showcasing how individuals are positively impacting their communities.
