History shows that moments of upheaval rarely produce clear or immediate outcomes — particularly under intense internal and external pressure. Iran has seen protest waves over electoral reform (2009), economic hardship (2018), and civil liberties and women’s rights (2022). Today’s protests reflect something deeper: a call for systemic change. As Iran faces nationwide unrest, economic collapse, and rising international tensions, understanding what may come next has never been more important. 🧠 Professor Amin Saikal, member of Mosaic’s Advisory Board, analyses the possible trajectories emerging from the current crisis — from internal dynamics to external pressures, including warnings of potential intervention. 🔗 Full analysis: mosaicfoundation.global/101/… #Iran #IranProtests #Geopolitics #MiddleEast #HumanRights

From crisis response to sustained dialogue. Following the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, Mosaic Global Foundation began work to establish the Cambridge Afghanistan Conference (CAS) — conceived with continuity in mind and now an annual forum grounded in freedom, justice, and dignity. #Afghanistan #HumanDignity @ZalNishat@ZalNishat @ZalNishat (if posting from Mosaic’s account) @MosaicGFdn

When learning becomes ideology, education becomes an instrument of power. In a new article for The National Interest, Zalmai Nishat examines how the Taliban have transformed Afghanistan’s madrasa system — and why this matters for regional and global stability. 🔗 Link below ⬇️ #Afghanistan #Education @ZalNishat @TheNatlInterest

Posted during the week of International Human Rights Day (10 Dec), this clip revisits an illustrative moment from Sir Laurie Bristow’s address at Mosaic Foundation’s 2024 Cambridge Afghanistan Series (CAS) — also known as the Cambridge Massoud Conference (CMC). It reflects why these conferences have become a rare, high-level and genuinely consequential platform for serious political dialogue on Afghanistan’s future. #MassoudConference #HumanRightsDay #Afghanistan @MosaicGFdn @Cambridge_Uni

25 November marked the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. At CAS-IV 2025, speakers presented clear evidence of: • gender apartheid in Afghanistan • sexual violence used as a tool of intimidation • removal of women from education, public life and basic freedoms Mosaic Global Foundation continues to support and amplify the voices of women in Afghanistan. #EndViolenceAgainstWomen #GenderApartheid #HumanRights #CASIV #MosaicGlobalFoundation @UN_Women @AmnestyUK @hrw @CrisisGroup
