RT sits down with a former Afghan MP-turned human rights champion. Malalai Joya braves death threats and assassination attempts to expose what she calls the dark side of life in her country. Joya claims the NATO occupation has only brought more suffering to the people of Afghanistan. She says her country is suffering from three evils at the moment: overwhelming corruption of the regime, indiscriminate violence of the occupational force and regional warlords whose actions differ little from those of the Taliban.

When I started working amongst our people, especially women, it was so enjoyable for me. I learned a lot from them, even though they were not educated.

DemocracyNow.org - Democracy Now! interviews former Afghan member of parliament and antiwar activist, Malalai Joya, who just arrived to the United States for a book tour, days after the Obama administration initially denied her a travel visa. The situation in Afghanistan is changing as US-led NATO forces in Afghanistan fear increasing opposition after photographs of US troops posing over dead Afghan civilians were published last week by German news magazine Der Spiegel and broadcast by Democracy Now!. Rolling Stone magazine has just published 18 additional images. The photographs are graphic and have been compared to images that emerged from the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. The soldiers in the photographs are on trial for forming a secret "kill team" in Afghanistan that murdered unarmed Afghan civilians at random and collected body parts. NATO air strikes have also recently led to more than 15 civilian deaths in the past month.

US Sergeant Matthis Chiroux, 25, was in military service for many years before he came to the conclusion that the wars and occupations in Iraq and in Afghanistan are wrong and found the courage to speak out. Since last summer he has been a key activist in the US veterans' organization, Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW). From April 1st to 5th, Chiroux and Malalai Joya joined peace activists in Germany and France to speak out against NATO and the war and occupation in Afghanistan. On April 4th, at a large demonstration in Strasbourg, France, Chiroux planned to publicly apologize to Afghan peace activist Malalai Joya for participating in the occupation of her country; however, before he could do so, the demonstration was disrupted by attacks of the French police. He made his apology instead on April 5, 2009, at the NATO Congress in Strasbourg. Matthis Chiroux: I want to tell you, Malalai, how sorry I am for the violence that my Army has done to your people, to your country. I want to apologize to you for the role that I played in it. Malalai Joya: And I want to tell you that it is your government that must apologize first of all to great people like you: they are deceiving you and they use you for not a good cause; they use you for a war.

Malalai Joya, author of A Woman Among Warlords: The Extraordinary Story of a Woman Who Dared Raise Her Voice At a constitutional assembly in Kabul in 2003, Malalai Joya stood up and denounced her country's powerful US/NATO-backed warlords. She was only 25 years old. Two years later, she became the youngest person elected to Afghanistan's new Parliament. In 2007, she was suspended for her persistent criticism of the warlords and drug barons. Beloved by her people for daring to speak out against US-backed war criminals that dominate the government, Joya has survived at least four assassination attempts. Having come face-to-face with the brutality of war, Joya has been demanding an end to the occupation for years. In her book "A Woman Among Warlords", just out in paperback, Joya explains the situation of ordinary Afghans: "We are caught between two enemies-the Taliban on one side and the US/NATO forces and their warlords allies on the other."

Malalai Joya (born April 25, 1978) is an Afghan parliamentarian who has been called "the bravest woman in Afghanistan." As an elected member of the Wolesi Jirga from Farah province, she has publicly denounced the presence of warlords and war criminals in the parliament. She is an outspoken critic of both the Taliban as well as the present Afghan government of Karzai and its western supporters. The daughter of a former medical student who lost a leg while fighting the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Malalai Joya was 4 years old when her family fled Afghanistan in 1982 to the refugee camps of Iran and later Pakistan. After the Soviet withdrawal, Malalai Joya returned to Afghanistan in 1998 during the Taliban's reign. As a young woman she worked as a social activist and was named a director of the non-governmental group Organization of Promoting Afghan Women's Capabilities (OPAWC) in the western provinces of Herat and Farah. In May 2007, Joya was suspended from the parliament on the grounds that she had insulted fellow representatives in a television interview. Her suspension, which is currently being appealed, has generated protest internationally and appeals for her reinstatement have been signed by high profile writers, intellectuals and politicians. Joya has been compared to the symbol of Burma's democracy movement, Aung San Suu Kyi.

DemocracyNow.org - Former Afghan member of parliament, Malalai Joya, speaks to Democracy Now! in her first broadcast interview since arriving in the United States on Friday, after US officials initially denied her application for a travel visa. Her visa was approved Thursday following a protest campaign that included letters from the American Civil Liberties Union and nine members of Congress. Asked why the United States at first refused her visit, Joya says, "I'm talking about the blind bombardment of the USA-NATO forces, these occupiers, about the occupation of my country... These are, I think, the reasons that the US and NATO, they're afraid of me."

Join us on Facebook: www.facebook.com Our webiste: www.afghans.eu While in Britain, no one has heard of her, in Afghanstan Malalai (or Malala) is a legend. Smaller facts in the story vary slightly, but although it is Ayub Khan who became known as the Victor of Maiwand, it is said that it was Malalai who actually saved the day. She was a native of Khig, a tiny village on the edge of the Maiwand battlefield, and the daughter of a Shepard. Both her father and fiancée joined with Ayub's army in the attack on the British on July 27th 1880 (which some say was also her wedding day), and like many women, Malalai was there to help tend to the wounded and provide water and spare weapons. Eventually there came a point in the battle where the Afghan army, despite their superior numbers, started to lose morale and the tide seemed to be turning in favor of the British. Seeing this, Malalai took off her veil and shouted out "Young love! If you do not fall in the battle of Maiwand, By God, someone is saving you as a symbol of shame!" This gave many of the Afghan fighters and ghazis a new resolve and they redoubled their efforts. At that moment one of the leading flag-bearers fell from a British bullet, and Malalai went forward and held up the flag (some versions say she made a flag out of her veil), singing a landai: "With a drop of my sweetheart's blood, Shed in defense of the Motherland, Will I put a beauty spot on my forehead, Such as would put to shame the rose in the garden," But <b>...</b>

Malalai Joya, Afghan feminist (and youngest person ever elected to the Afghan parliament), speaks at the rally. Her status as a feminist/human rights activist and as an outspoken critic of the rampant corruption in the Afghan government (and its collusion with shady US interests) has gotten her suspended from Parliament and made her a target for death back home in Afghanistan--she lives underground there. She's also been a fierce opponent and critic of Obama and his escalation of US war in Afghanistan since his inauguration, and ~coincidentally~, the US State Dept recently tried to refuse her entry into the US for a book/speaking tour until public outcry made them cave in. Apologies in advance as the first half-minute or so of Joya's comments are not recorded.
