The Taliban declared an “amnesty” across Afghanistan and urged women to join its government, trying to calm nerves across a tense capital city that only the day before saw chaos at its airport as people tried to flee their rule.

Nepalese people evacuated from Afghanistan arrive via Kuwait at the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, Nepal, Tuesday, Aug. 17, 2021. declared an “amnesty” across Afghanistan and urged women to join their government Tuesday, seeking to convince a wary population that they have changed a day after deadly chaos gripped the main airport as desperate crowds tried to flee the country.

The promises of amnesty from Enamullah Samangani, a member of the Taliban's cultural commission, were the first comments on how the Taliban might govern on a national level. His remarks remained vague, however, as the Taliban are still negotiating with political leaders of the country’s fallen government and no formal handover deal has been announced.

It was also not clear what he meant by an amnesty, although other Taliban leaders have said they won’t seek revenge on those who worked with the Afghan government or foreign countries. But some in Kabul allege Taliban fighters have lists of people who cooperated with the government and are seeking them out.

On Tuesday, Kabul's international airport, the only way out for many, reopened to military evacuation flights under the watch of American troops. The German Foreign Ministry, meanwhile, said a first German military transport plane has landed in Kabul, but it could only take seven people on board before it had to depart again due to continued chaos at the airport.

Taliban announces 'amnesty,' urges women to join governmentBREAKING UPDATE: Taliban announces “amnesty” for all in Afghanistan and urges women to join its government. Women have raised concerns about their future under Taliban, which stripped them of almost all their rights when they last governed the country. Some gullible people out there. This is great news, if true. Last I read, house to house searches were being done in Kabul. Looking for what? To what end? Doesn't sound peaceful to me. That's bullshit from the Taliban. Allowing women rights goes against their primitive fundamentalist belief system. They might as well feast on roast pork. 😏

Taliban announces 'amnesty,' urges women to join governmentKABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The Taliban declared an “amnesty” across Afghanistan and urged women to join its government Tuesday, trying to calm nerves across a tense capital city that only the day before saw chaos at its airport as people tried to flee their rule. An understated fact: Today's Afghanistan is not the same as 20 years ago. The 20 years we were able to allow for the education of an entire generation of Afghan children will have a lasting impact that the Taliban cannot undo. A temporary smoke screen...

Admiral Stavridis on Kabul collapse: ‘We underestimated the Taliban’'I'm wearing a pocket square that echoes the colors of the Afghan flag,' Admiral James Stavridis says while discussing the collapse of Kabul. 'I don't think that one is going to be flying proudly anytime soon. It's a sad day.' More like overestimating the Afghan government. 20 years and it was still a corrupt country run in large part by “warlords”?! Plus the Taliban are like cockroaches - they’ll always be around. The Russians were smart enough to get out of there years ago, it was time for us to go. “We” didn’t underestimate them, liberals did. Pocket squares are the solution.

Taliban says it wants 'new chapter' in Cooperation With the U.S.Taliban spokesman Suhail Shaheen said the group 'respect the rights of women,' despite women and girls having previously been banned from studying or working under the group's regime. They don't respect the rights of women, he is lying. The US troops took off, and left, these poor people on their own, to be subjected and abused by a terrorist group. What's wrong with Biden and his administration? BS.
