[Marat9043]

She was like prophet! US began to play with taliban...

[Marat9043]

It opened my eyes.I think, this video should watch each european politician and each soldier...Thank you so much!

[ask1132]

Dear Malalai for your information, it is because of these foreign troops in Afghanistan that you are sitting in the parliament and can express your opinion to newly born free media.

The credit goes to America and Western Countries that those former warlords who were killing and beheading each-other are now sitting in parliament and trying to solve their issues through dialogues.

Off-course, I don't say situation is perfect but one should admit it is far far far better than Taliban time.

[trransporter]

dear Malalai we have same openiosn,. i love you

[MrAlex8525]

GOOD

[whatsgoingon07]

she should be immediately appointed the new afghan prime minister

[AllianceNoob]

@whatsgoingon07

she should be immediately hanged :)

[RSFO]

@AllianceNoob You should be immediately hanged.

[AllianceNoob]

@RSFO

HAHAHAHAHA OMG ur SO FUNNY loooooooooool no dude, realistically she is a disgrace to afghans and afghan women. One is a woman who fights for her rights but there is the other who just goes too far to get public attention. if u don't agree with me then fair enough we have our own views :)

[AllianceNoob]

@RSFO

What a stupid statement, I wonder how foolish you are kid... 

[ro143cky]

@AllianceNoob shut the hell up. if it was up to you and people with your mind set Afghan women would never be able to do anything. You think she did it for attention? you think she wants to get death threats every day? and have to pay thousands of dollars on body guards and securities!? good for her to speak up against the injustices. of course she should speak out...what the hell have you done for your country??? YOU should be HAPPY that she wrote a book and is educating and showing ppl that we

[ro143cky]

@AllianceNoob don't all want a backwards and disgusting culture that has become afghanistan. AND YES I AM AFGHAN!

[AllianceNoob]

@ro143cky

You call our culture disgusting hmm i think your some next dhal khur mate. No afghan would say that you bafoon. stay on which ever foreign land your in because you'll never be an afghan. you Traitor just like this behaya woman

[ro143cky]

@AllianceNoob no I am not a "dhal khur" whatever you mean by that? We do have a disgusting culture. We cry about why our country is such a mess and then when people stand up for important social issues we question their intentions, we call them disgusting names, and we send them death threats. open your eyes! what is so good about our culture? you think because we are hospitable it makes up for everything else that we do? The life of women in Afghanistan is hell. Maybe if you weren't a

[ro143cky]

@AllianceNoob crazy talib with some fake sense of nang-e namoos you would see this. you don't know anything about me. but the facts are the facts...

and how is she a traitor? she is speaking out for afghans? she is telling the americans that they are not helping by occpying our country and supporting war lords. what is she doing that isn't for the benefits of her people? I am more Afghan than you are clearly because I actually care about our people.

[AllianceNoob]

@ro143cky

I dont want her to speak on behalf of me or any Afghan, Afghan woman are modest unlike her. Anyway, i'm not a crazy Talib lol I'm just an Afghan who has the view of most afghans. I agree that there are warlords but how will you stop it? kill all of them hmmm what about the thousands of supporters they have?? what is her purpose??

[AllianceNoob]

@ro143cky

just to humiliate and tell people that we have warlords then what ?? at the end of the day whether you like it or not our country is controlled by warlords and from my view the only way to get rid of them is to educate the new generation so they don't turn like them.. seems far fetched but what have we got to lose. Right now the warlords may be the only way to keep balance of power in afghanistan if they were killed then there will be another civil war.

[ro143cky]

@AllianceNoob umm so that is EXACTLY what she said..that we need to concentrate on education. anyways, I'm not going back and forth with someone who clearly has their head so far up their ass that they would rather see Afghanistan go even more down the toilet, then a women speak in public. BYE.

[seyal89]

Sister Malalai, I appreciate your courage and profound feelings for Afghan nation. The fact that you have criticized during your speech at Brown University, you mentioned that Afghan government has passed a law which was made by Taliban or it was like Talibans' law "a female can't go outside without a man or can't go out for job without her husband's permission..." Dear, it's what Islam said, neither Taliban nor these puppies! Don't innovate, criticize or neglect Islamic truths! God Bless you.

[ro143cky]

@seyal89 Yes you are right, but do you realise that this was written in the what...7 or 8th century? and the Qur'an also explicitly states that we need to progress with our times as well. it is not feasible for a woman to have a male escort with her in this day and age EVERYwhere she goes. people need to open their eyes more and not pick and choose what they follow in our religion. But that is just my opinion. God bless.

[barry94364]

if she is so smart, why she is so discriminating against the Tajiks and Hazara. she doesn't know indirectly helping Parwaz Musharaf idia.

[METALLICCA]

@barry94364 shut up... you don't even khnow what she talks about kala kham hazara..lol

where did she mention the name tajik or hazara. or where did she criticize or discriminate the tajik or hazaras.

btw she is tajik herself

[barry94364]

if she is so smart, why she is so discriminating against the Tajiks and Hazara.

[azizurus]

How dare u talk about the great mullahs, landlords & warlords. Do u remember in 1979 they started resistance against Kabul govt, to protect their own interests. How cleverly they portrayed that resistance as jihad. That was the beginning of the end of a secular govt in Afghanistan. They were backed by the West then & still backed by the same west. Now West is realizing that Mujahideen, Gulbadeeen & Taliban are just different names of the same beast. I hope all afghans of dif langs will know.

[fahal111]

she is the best,,,,,prav ,greet

[monisiti]

you don't know what she would have done if she would have lived in colonial times.

now she is asking for us troops to end the occupation that seems pretty patriotic to me

[monisiti]

petition on care2 petition site'Afghanistan - Take action against the occupation!"

[racecar2323]

The look on the war lords' faces while she is speaking is priceless. Go Malalai Joya!

[bapyou]

This woman should be in Washington as President Obama's primary advisor for his administration's policy towards Afghanistan.

Bravo, Malalai! Bravo! You're an inspiration to the world.

[sarbadaran]

Bravo Malalai Joya, she is the hope of all Afghans! She is our heroine, we all are proud of having Malalai Joya!

Thanks for posting this video here.

[abdighazi]

how much money has she received since she left afghanistan? scribners, indpendent, gaurdian, pbs, council on foreign relations? just wondering.

[dobtoronto]

probably quite a bit. a good thing. i pay tax to fund ngos employing six figure salary aid workers that are afraid to leave kabul.

by the way, girl introducing joya at 2:20 is my hero.

[bapyou]

And you're wondering this why? Answer: Because you are trying to discredit her. That is all. Shameful for you. The righteous among us deserve support, whether moral or financial. Shame on you. Shame. Shame. Shame.

[abdighazi]

on the surface she is a hero opposing the warlords, meaning the military resistance to occupation. Whether she was used and brought here by intelligence agencies for the same purpose is highly likely given her promotion in known cia front media outlets , especially of the un british intel mi6 type. She started as a hero and is now used to justify obamas escalation, even if she opposes it.

[ArmageddonAfterparty]

Hopefully a lot, since she's the kind of woman that will put it to very good use indeed.

[monisiti]

abdighazi:it's obvious that she didn't do it for the money,so you have no point.

what she did was very brave,standing up like that and confronting this powerful and dangerous people.

american troops withdraw and support real democracy in afghanistan.

Malalai Joya is a hero.

[abdighazi]

rreal democracy? like what will happen in Iraq after we leave? The economic occupation will follow the military occupation in the name of womens rights, free trade, it will be a british narco terror pipeline state like azerbaijan before long. the bad guys r the good guys , remember that when u watch pbs bbc. your watching tv in a nazi state that employs drones, secual torture, and genocidal sanctions.

[monisiti]

the warlords will keep getting support from the people as long as afghanistan is occupied by foreign powers.that is because they(the people )need to have someone who opposes the foreigners.once the troops are removed but not the support for a democratic government they(the warlords)will loose support.wether a democratic government is a front to gain economicaly is another question.

[monisiti]

also you have no proof to say that malalai is some kind of secret agent,really,find the proof than i,ll consider it.she looks very concerned and honest enough.

emmh,which of obamas escalation is she supposedly being used to justify?

[abdighazi]

Shes being used, promoted, which doesnt mean she is insincere . She honestly hates many parts of her society based no doubt on her leftist training abroad. But 200 some years ago, the founding fathers were warloards and mujadeeen fighting foreign occupation. She would have stood with the British on behalf of women's rights against the evil puritans in Mass a traitor to anti-colonialism which , now opposed by the good people in NATO-UN-WTO.

sickening how the left has reversed itself..

[muziquelle]

Huh?

I'm pretty sure that the British attempt to occupy Afg did not ensue with psychopaths going around raping and killing women (not to mention having sex with dead bodies), tying women to trees and cutting off their breasts...etc.

Malalai actually makes it very clear that there are two types of mujahids - the kind that everyone was in resisting occupation, and the extremists who were murderers, rapists and drug traffickers.

You should really read her book when you have a chance. Made me cry.

[bapyou]

"her leftist training abroad"?

Where do you get such bullshit? From what dark recess of your anus do you pull such statements?

Sheesh. You fucking moron. Kill yourself. Sooner rather than later.

[kashgar22]

An incredibly brave young woman.

[connielane]

Thank you for sharing this, I hope her audience grows bigger! She is remarkable.
