Marking The 20th Anniversary Of 9/11 – Clips And Reports Added To The MEMRI 9/11 Documentation Project In 2021 (MEMRI) In the two decades since the September 11, 2001 attacks, the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) has been monitoring, translating, and documenting content about the attacks in media from the Middle East, South Asia, and beyond. The MEMRI 9/11 Documentation Project, launched to mark the 10th anniversary of the attacks, archives all MEMRI translations, analysis, and clips about the attacks and their aftermath, and has amassed one of the largest and most unique archives in the world on this subject. These archives allow an in-depth examination of the ideological roots and other factors that ultimately led to the attacks.

 The New York Times reports: In total, over a dozen countries have evacuated 240,000 people, most of them Afghans, since the Taliban took control of the country. I've been surprised and amazed at the number of people evacuated in such a short time. Now resettlement efforts must get underway. The United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Pakistan, Germany and India are among the countries accepting refugees from Afghanistan. Britain is set to release $41 million of aid to support nations neighboring Afghanistan that are dealing with refugees fleeing the country. (Reuters) These efforts need monitoring and funding. Reports are already coming in of bad conditions in refugee camps. (4W)
