This is hardly making the news due to Iran which is bigger news.

A wee little man can’t say, I’m sorry. A big man owns his mistakes and apologizes.
A wee little man trusts himself and his own discernment. A big man is humble enough to know that he needs the counsel and input of others.

Yes, Ernie, let us pray for all these precious people in Asia and the Middle East, who are caught in the crossfire.
So many many spiritual, social and health needs.
Jesus cares and so should we.

Regarding Afghanistan....from Operation World, prayer ministry.

The status of women deserves special prayer. Virtually all progress made from 2001-2021 has been undone by the Taliban since September 2021. Women are once again all but banned from participating in public life. Numerous women die in childbirth in Afghanistan because many cannot receive healthcare from male doctors. Women's voices are forbidden to be heard in public, and they cannot travel without a male guardian present. One-third of women suffer from physical violence. Widows face very difficult circumstances, and suicide is common. Special radio programmes share with women from the Bible, about the love and value God holds for them. Female literacy had improved from 11% in 1979 to over 55% in 2018; perhaps this will enable more Afghan women to read material that will lead them to Jesus. Pray for justice and freedom from gender-based oppression, and especially that women might find the true freedom that comes only through Christ.

I think it's really interesting that they openly declared they're in a war the day before the strikes on Iran.
