As people try to leave Afghanistan in droves after the fall of Kabul to the Taliban, the women left behind seek assurances that they will be safe under the new regime
The Taliban has captured the capital Kabul in Afghanistan after capturing other Afghan provincial capitals – and the country is in disarray. President Ashraf Ghani has fled the country, as have many foreign nationals. However there are many Afghans and foreign nationals who wish to depart, who no longer can.
Afghan women and their international allies are worried that the Taliban rule will set the country back decades, stripping away any hard-earned freedoms won post-2001 US invasion. Lima Halima Ahmad, PhD candidate of International Security & Human Security tweeted forlornly, criticising foreign news sources who have been claiming that Afghans sympathise with the Taliban and sharia law.
Didn’t the entire world believed Afghans are all Taliban, Talibanism is their culture? So who are those people that are leaving?
