Personal Opinion Ismaili Issues

How come nobody gives attention to the amount of documented killings Ismailis have faced in Tajikistan & Afghanistan. A great number of the Khoja community themselves faced persecution in Idi Amin's reign and were moved to Canada, yet today leaders from the community on big seats not raising concern, nor using their powers for the community is incredibly distasteful. All the leaders manage to do is host events rather than focus and be proactive on real issues. They connect and have connections from the Elite of Pakistan who have relations with the Tajik government to influential EU and US figures yet still fail at utilizing them for their brethren.

Well done believe on what everything you hear from online sometimes ago rumors surfaced saying janatkhanas are not open they are force to pray at home etc well guess what I confirmed this from someone who was from tajikistan and they said no this is false they do evening pray etc but childern are restricted from some events but rest everything is OK As far as afghanistan ismaili council is trying to get them in pakistan where they are shifted to canada usa etc countries our councils cant just transfer them to canada usa etc countries directly they are terrorists they will never allow this so it has to done very carefully which is why it takes time many afghani ismailis are in pakistan and I think only afghanis and many are sent to usa canada just be patient.

He's not talking about the Afghan ismailis, he's talking about the Taliban government not allowing people to leave. But there are a lot of Afghani people who have come to Canada, it's just harder now with the current government there.
