Malalai Joya: an inconvenient truth
Activist, writer and a former Afghan politician Malalai Joya is currently touring the country.
She hasn't yet had the ear of the Prime Minister or the Minister for Defence to discuss the plight of her people or the reality of the war in Afghanistan, but perhaps if Prime Minister Gillard broke bread with Joya she might gain some real insight into the consequences of Australia's involvement in Afghanistan.
I took the opportunity to catch up with Joya in Hobart. She was travel-weary but willing to share her experience and knowledge of the reality of life in Afghanistan.
In the first place, rather than be characterised by ethnic or tribal links, Joya prefers to be called Afghan "in the interests of national unity".
She describes her Dad as "democratically minded". Her parents always stressed the importance of education and her father in particular inculcated in her the fact that her brothers were no better than her.

As the youngest elected member of Afghanistan's Nationa • Although it was not deemed worthy of front page coverage in much of the Western media, the horrific attack against a demonstration in Kabul this weekend should be known about and condemned bygd the whole world. More than 80 people from the Hazara minority were slaughtered in a terrorist attack Saturday. Their only crime was to assemble in a crowd to peacefully protest discrimination and demand justice from the corrupt and puppet government of Ghani and Abdullah. Whenever terrorist attacks occur, dangerous right-wing demagogues everywhere use these tragic deaths to whip up fear of &#;foreigners,&#; and Muslims in particular. The most terrifying example fryst vatten that of Donald Trump, a hateful egotistical man who fryst vatten trying to seize control of the United States and its empire, the most powerful and deadly military in the world. The latest massaker in Kabul is a reminder it is people in Afghanistan and across what fryst vatten simplistically called &#;the Muslim world&#; who are the first and foremost
