MFs get tickets to a better life, then want to start complaining.

Stop. He's not complaining. He tweeted that out to push back against the people claiming refugees have it good/easy. Being a refugee isn't necessarily a ticket to a better life, either.

Afghan refugee at Texas base on why he tweeted photo of paltry meal

The 28-year-old Fulbright semi-finalist didn’t expect the response he got after tweeting a photo of his paltry meal as an Afghan refugee at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas. Hamed Ahmadi posted the picture – showing two small pieces of chicken, a few slices of fruit and bread – to prove to people that life as a refugee was neither glamorous nor coveted.

Instead, responses included taunts and demands that he be more grateful or “go back to Afghanistan.”

“The point of that tweet was not ... to be complaining, to be very critical,” Mr Ahmadi told The Independent. “I was just describing a situation of Afghan refugees that are in the situation that they never really wanted to be in.

“I had a pretty good job back in Kabul. I had a decent life. I had my family,” he said, adding: “I was forced to flee Afghanistan ... if I had more space [on Twitter], I would have added more explanation – because I wanted to say that this is the refugee life. And we need to be patient.”

Further details about Mr Ahmadi’s own story would very likely silence any detractors or trolls claiming that Afghan refugees are only after a better life.

The journalist and scholar, who spent the past five years in Kabul with his parents and siblings, did not want to flee Afghanistan – and certainly didn’t want to leave his family behind.

His brother died two months ago as a special ops fighter with the Afghan National Defence Forces combatting the Taliban. Another sister died last year of Covid. Still another sister, who is pregnant, is currently in hiding from the Taliban because she had been a member of the Afghan police force, he said.

Mr Ahmadi’s own social media presence as a blogger working with foreign NGOs, however, left him in peril as the Taliban retook control of his country.

Because I'll never understand why we have sympathy for cowards. If you truly gave a fukk about your Homeland, fight for it. Die for it if it comes to it. But don't tuck tail and run to another country...with your hand out. I could never imagine doing that as a man. A man able bodied enough to fight like each one of those clowns in the picture look.

You were never in a position where you had to imagine that. You're judging from a place of privilege.
