The interim mayor of Afghanistan’s capital says female employees in the Kabul city government have been told to stay home unless their jobs cannot be filled by men. The mayor was detailing the latest restrictions on women by the new Taliban rulers.

Women march to demand their rights under the Taliban rule during a demonstration near the former Women's Affairs Ministry building in Kabul, Afghanistan, Sunday, Sept. 19, 2021. The interim mayor of Afghanistan’s capital said Sunday that many female city employees have been ordered to stay home by the country’s new Taliban rulers.

In recent days, the new Taliban government issued several decrees rolling back the rights of girls and women. It told female middle- and high school students that they could not return to school for the time being, while boys in those grades resumed studies this weekend. Female university students were informed that studies would take place in gender-segregated settings from now on, and that they must abide by a strict Islamic dress code. Under the U.S.

The protest lasted for about 10 minutes. After a short verbal confrontation with a man, the women got into cars and left, as Taliban in two cars observed from nearby. Over the past months, Taliban fighters had broken up several women’s protests by force. Namony said the female employees have been ordered to stay home, pending a further decision. He said exceptions were made for women who could not be replaced by men, including some in the design and engineering departments and the attendants of public toilets for women. Namony did not say how many female employees were forced to stay home.

The Taliban have tried to present themselves as guarantors of security, in hopes that this will win them support from a public still widely suspicious of their intentions. Under the previous government, a rise in crime had been a major concern for ordinary Afghans.

weren't ppl saying that the afghans should fight for their own freedom an country a couple weeks ago?

Why are some men so fragile that the only way they can feel masculine is by controlling others, women in particular?

Their problems, not ours. Americans can't even band together to protect one another from a virus.. we don't have the time nor the resources to insert ourselves ANY LONGER, in the affairs of another country. Godspeed to those living there.

A civil war is the best case scenario for the West, and the worst case scenario for Afghans. I'm betting there won't be any calls to end the violence any time soon.

More to come .all they want is governance

Civil war has begun…

Stanno resistendo con la guerra di guerriglia, perché meno numerosi e meno armati dei Talebani

As expected

Good news. Less Taliboys the better.

Mitch Rapp was unavailable for comment.

Initial reports are never accurate when it comes to this nightmare

What? I thought the war was over and there was nothing but love from the religion of 'peace' 🙄 Shocker

Thanks a lot Obama.

I blame the Afghan government who took the money and ran, and trump who negotiated with the taliban.

So sad their stuck in the stone age not allowing women to work. The people of Afghanistan are going to have to figure a way to overthrow the Taliban in their own unfortunately.

Men, weak and fearful creatures who must hide women from their sight.

زيات وخت پدي باندي فکر کوم چه ضابيح الله او ملګري ئي چه هره ورځ د دنيا د وګړو په مخ درواغ وائي څنګه د شپي بيا ويده کيدئ شي؟ ايا دوي وجدان لري او د خپل اسلامي وجدان په هکله مسؤليت احصاصوي؟ مجاهد که وجداني مسؤليت لري بايد د خپلي وضيفي لاس واخلي ځکه دي يو شئ او ملګري بل شئ وائي.

Can we implement these rules in America?

I know I’m shocked.

Women should stop preforming a certain job siting that men have been performing that job on fire island, the village, P-Town for years.

Man can't do the job if they deny freedom to adults.

Yes. They are the Taliban.

Religion needs its own planet. Then all the religious nuts can persecute each other all they want.

Get a woman to run for mayor.

Taliban is just following sheriya laws..what a fucked up religion

Damn we should probably go back to war now.

No wonder some Republicans like the Taliban.

Stupid and bad if that is true!

Please don't give the GOP any ideas.

Women must rebel and/or leave. Take your children and run.

Well, this is unexpected. Said no one ever!!!

roknrolzombie Where did I read that the taliban had changed ?

How wish I come across this opportunity long ago, it would have been huge now. You've corrected that step now, thanks for your good works LindaStouffes

Many are afraid to send women and children out in anticipation of deteriorating security.

AOC for mayor of Kabul City.

Sounds like east Texas

Shocker.

horrible
