The Taliban have banned women in Afghanistan from school, parks and offices. On “The Weekend Intelligence” Neggeen Sadid talks to three young women about what’s left for them there https://t.co/1batxt1RJ7
@TheEconomist This was a very powerful podcast. 3 young women, with 3 backgrounds but one shared uncertain fate! So glad Neggeen also pointed out to some real and doable solutions.
“What about the next generation? We are not going to have any educated women”. On “The Weekend Intelligence”, Neggeen Sadid talks to three young Afghan women about continuing their education, four years after the Taliban closed their schools https://t.co/re6nqYlCMz
Taliban 2.0 is doing exactly what they did twenty years ago: ethnic cleansing of Hazaras. But unlike Abdur Rahman's times, the world will not remain silent about their atrocities against Hazaras. The suffering they are subjecting Hazaras to will come back to haunt them!
Tragicomic justice: Taliban court prosecutes 3 tricksters who instead of selling opium to a "respectable" smuggler, gave him halwa (sweet dish).
Taliban make them return the money. They then ask if the smuggler's happy with the verdict!

“About those women, we have already decided… they should be sitting in their home and they will be paid at their home.” Sound familiar? That’s what Taliban official Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanikzai told me 25 years ago. It’s now come full circle.
Taliban message to Americans:
“It's our belief that one day … Islamic law will come not to just Afghanistan, but all over the world … Jihad will not end until the last day.”
