THE TALABAN IN AFGHANISTAN

                        

 



According to the BBC, the Taliban are intensifying their hunt for people who worked for and collaborated with NATO and US forces.

 

There is absolute chaos at Kabul’s airport, where Western nations are evacuating their citizens and the Afghans who worked with them.   Some 7.000 Americans and other nationals, including Afghan citizens, have been evacuated since Sunday.

 

Heartbreaking scenes at the Kabul airport include babies being handed over the wall to soldiers so that they are saved by the ISIS barbarians.




The Taliban are especially brutal against women and girls.  Girls cannot attend school or hold jobs or leave their homes without a male relative accompanying them.  Those who defied the Taliban’s directives and their fundamentalistic interpretation of Islam were punished brutally with floggings and beatings.





The goal of the terrorists is to oppress women and girls who fight for their rights and dignity.

 

Before the Taliban arrived in Afghanistan, local women were lawyers, doctors, and teachers and generally had equal opportunities with men.  Let us hope that those good days will return to Afghanistan in the not-so-distant future.   


PLEASE BE VACCINATED AGAINST COVID-19 SO THAT YOUR BELOVED FAMILIES, FRIENDS, THE WORLD AND YOU REMAIN HEALTHY AND SAFE.
