Afghan women fear return to 'dark days' amid Taliban sweep

KABUL, Afghanistan — It was early evening and Zahra, her mother and three sisters were on their way to dinner at another sister’s home when they saw people running and heard gunshots on the street.In just a few minutes, everything changed for the 26-year-old resident of Herat, Afghanistan’s third-largest city.

Amid a lightning offensive over the past several days, the Taliban now control more than two-thirds of the country, just two weeks before the U.S. plans to withdraw its last troops. And they are slowly closing in on the capital, Kabul. There have been no confirmed reports of such extreme measures in areas the Taliban fighters recently seized. But militants were reported to have taken over some houses and set fire to at least one school.

Her eyes welled up with tears as she considered the possibility that she will not be able to return to work; that her 12-year-old sister will be unable to continue going to school ; that her older brother will not be able play football; or that she won’t be able to freely play the guitar again. The instrument hung on a wall behind her as she spoke.

“You can’t uneducate millions of people,” she said. If women “are back behind walls and not able to go out as much, at least they can now educate their cousins and their neighbors and their own children in ways that couldn’t happen 25 years ago.”

zkaram ahseir Now all Ultra Liberals, Award back layers Gangs, So-called Secularists, UN International Human Rights Council/Commission seems to have been underground.

zkaram ahseir Every woman girl and child should be taken away and given refuge in other countries . What waits this women and girls is nothing but torture and a meaningless life of abuse .

zkaram ahseir Taliban declared no one will be troubled and will continue normal life , feel protected and assured full safety

zkaram ahseir After the Martyrdom of 3586 Brave Sons & Daughters of US Allied Forces, 69000 Af Forces, 51613 Af Civ & 978bn US $ cost What is the outcome? Where are we ? How can we abandon Afghanistan Answer pl? US Military JoeBiden POTUS KamalaHarris BritishArmy TwitterCanada NATO

zkaram ahseir Because homosexuality & apostasy are each still capital crimes in Sharia Muslim Afghanistan, just like in Sharia Muslim headquarters Saudi Arabia, & many Muslim women still feel the need to publicly wear the burka in Afghanistan in 2021, the Taliban may try to retake Afghanistan.

zkaram ahseir People worried about women losing rights clearly don't understand what these monsters are going to do to the young girls they are taking.

zkaram ahseir The men won't fight because they love the Taliban who give them freedom to abuse women and we know how perverted they are in that country.

zkaram ahseir It is obvious that Afghan men would rather sacrifice their wives, mothers and daughters than their own lives. Sheer cowardice.

zkaram ahseir India godi media is portraying sex workers as whole afghan womens .we all know the truth of godi indian media .india call their own farmers khalistani ,mawali etc

zkaram ahseir gazali_a1 yorumun Ne? İftira mı diyeceksin Taliban yönetiminde özgürce işlerine okullara devam edeceklerini iddia ediyor musun hala?

zkaram ahseir Stop ur lies and propaganda against Islam

zkaram ahseir How many women did the CIA contractors kill during the occupation?

zkaram ahseir Sit up straight and fly right there is much help you can give to younger ones now is the time.

zkaram ahseir Why don't I see the Liberals Condemimg this ? ? ?

zkaram ahseir Grab a rifle and kill Taliban. This your problem, nobody else's.

zkaram ahseir When the Muslim woman in the photograph still feels the need to publicly wear a hijab in Afghanistan in 2021, there is a good chance that the Sharia Muslim Taliban will try to retake Afghanistan.

zkaram ahseir USA propaganda as usual. Can't leave (insert Muslim country), because (pick one) a. Children or b. Women's rights. Lol all the virtuous comments acting like they give af about the Afghani people after 2ys of murdering and pillaging of their resources

zkaram ahseir You only have JoeBiden to blame AfghanistanBurning

zkaram ahseir Some women say the Koran gives women rights same as men. Yet it is MEN who deny women rights to claim 🤔🤔 what Superiority, control? Its sad. We r still facing some challenges in the US. Equal pay, the rights to our bodys, fair advancement in jobs . Etc

zkaram ahseir Propaganda

zkaram ahseir But short of the Afghan government and its security forces holding the line against the Taliban, who have no respect for women, this was always going to be the final outcome. In a land where the most ignorant man has more power than the brightest woman, it’s inevitable.

HeyNikki1 zkaram ahseir The terror never ends.

zkaram ahseir Taliban said they won't infect other districts of their local contols

zkaram ahseir What's happening in Afganistan is horrible and they should be helped, but the U. S. in not the only country in the world. Why can't a combination of Saudi Arabia, India, the E. U., Australia, China, and the rest of the world help them? Afghanistan

zkaram ahseir If only the Afghan people had learned to care for themselves in the 20 years that the US was helping them. If only George W Bush didn’t get us into this endless war. If only is all we have

zkaram ahseir How did u know that and you cannot meet or talk with 80% of women in Afghanistan or do u voice the minorities over the majority! Just another news propaganda

zkaram ahseir Taliban free Kabul and maybe, just maybe, some other big cities... rural Afghanistan never changed in this 20 years. The US have much against Shias in IRAN when women there have more rights than in many other sunni countries.

zkaram ahseir It’s always the women who are punished for men’s stupid rules.

zkaram ahseir Whomever invented the phrase “Taliban wives” must be rejoicing for nothing! What a shameful world. The USA is not that far from this....

The US helped you for the last 15 years it’s your turn to help yourself

Please, Stop Blame POTUS & US Military & Officials of What Afghanistan People Suppose to do, Afghanistan do not Defend & take care themselves against their Enemies & Terrorist and let Taliban run over them, Afghanistan is not USA & USA got their own problem here in USA 24/7!

Fear it? It's going to happen. We let the women of Afghanistan down. Filled them with dreams and said, never mind.

This is something they have to work out themselves over there!.

🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭

It is their culture & they need to change it. Not Americans. American kids should not be going to die for Afghans who should be doing the job themselves.

The Islamic Republic in Iran is funding & supporting Taliban. The world powers want to create another Islamic gov in Afghanistan similar to the one in Iran. Photos: Javad Zarif mentoring Taliban in Tehran:

No dark days, just hijab days ahead 🧕

How is this news? This has been going for decades.

Republicans would like to silence and control womens’ bodies much like Sharia law. Free the Afghan women to show the world that women will not be chattel and slaves around the world. Women GOP Afghanistan Abortion Sharia

Arm the women.

Afghan women forced from banking jobs as Taliban take controlIn early July, as Taliban insurgents were seizing territory from government forces across Afghanistan, fighters from the group walked into the offices of Azizi Bank in the southern city of Kandahar and ordered nine women working there to leave. Congratulations jakejsullivan Where is their eyes? Where is their faces? Why America want China become this kind? Yes, this tragic and repeated pattern of “freeing” countries and then walking out on them is disgusting. It takes 100 years to change a culture, regime change by itself is meaningless without that. And it only solidifies their hate for us. We are less safe because of it.

In urgent cable, US Embassy calls on Washington to evacuate Afghan staffers threatened by TalibanThe U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan is urging Washington to evacuate Afghans under threat because of their work with the U.S. government — warning they cannot get out on their own and are in desperate need, according to internal cable obtained by ABC News. The plan is to cause millions of refugees. Thanks Joe Biden. 🖕 To me , extremist Taliban ( or any other group, just keep changing tags ) are the ones from Pakistan, in Pakistan . It's this mindset ( who brought up the concept of good Taliban bad Taliban ), that feeds, breeds such on purpose, on a specific agenda .

US keeping distance as Afghan forces face Taliban routWASHINGTON (AP) — Afghan government forces are collapsing even faster than U.S. military leaders thought possible just a few months ago when President Joe Biden ordered a full withdrawal. But there's little appetite at the White House, the Pentagon or among the American public for trying to stop the rout and it probably is too late to do so. It was predictable that the Afghan army wouldn’t be able to fight them off. I'm sure our plan is purposeful and they knew it would happen.
