Separately, three explosions targeted Taliban vehicles in the eastern provincial capital of Jalalabad on Saturday, killing three people and wounding 20, witnesses said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but Islamic State group militants, headquartered in the area, are enemies of the Taliban.
Staff of the World Bank's $100 million Women's Economic Empowerment and Rural Development Program, which was run out of the Women's Affairs Ministry, were escorted off the grounds Saturday, said program member Sharif Akhtar, who was among those being removed. Statements from the Taliban leadership often reflect a willingness to engage with the world, open public spaces to women and girls and protect Afghanistan's minorities. But orders to its rank and file on the ground are contradictory. Instead restrictions, particularly on women, have been implemented.Suraj, an Afghan American who returned to Afghanistan in 2003 to promote women's rights and education, said many of her fellow activists have left the country.
Top job „West World“! We let these women down!
Once again, the taliban is nothing more than a large group of barbarians forcing their will upon everyone else. They seem to be very worried about smart independent strong women. Its almost as if they fear us. Hence the violent oppression. Women should rule the world.
Translation...RELIGION POISONS EVERYTHING
American Conservatives glaring with passionate envy.
We could use a ministry like that here.

Taliban replace ministry for women with one restricting themKABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghanistan's new Taliban rulers set up a ministry for the “propagation of virtue and the prevention of vice' in the building that once housed the Women's Affairs Ministry, escorting out World Bank staffers Saturday as part of the forced move. This is what conservative christians want for America. Until they give up their animal ways and move to a more civilized behavior they deserve neither any recognition as a legitimate government or an entity of civilized behavior. Again they will violate civilized behavior. They haven’t learned to be a government. Psst—nobody tell Texas.
