From public parks. Even Beauty Parlors were shut two weeks ago. This salon went underground. Schools operate in secret, too. Its risky, but these women are fighting for more than just beauty. Translation Beauty Salons were a safe place for women. I even had customers who were coming to the salon only to talk and spend some time, laugh and cry with other women. The only thing i can see from my heart is that the women of my country are deeply distressed. The un says this may be gender apartheid, but the taliban government spokesman told us the world shouldnt interfere. Translation this isjust an excuse to put pressure on afghanistan. We have made progress in other areas. There isjust one small issue remaining and we will sort this out, as well. Its just a matter of time . Because most people believe they seem to be there to stay. Translation women are working| in some places now and for the rest as well, as long as sharia allows it and there is a need. The same goes for girls education. We have never said that these restrictions are going to be forever. Afghans ask if, when, their lives will change. Security is better now. No more taliban attacks, of course. Foreign troops are gone, but donors are turning away, too. The un appeal is only a quarterfunded. One message that Afghan People really give us so forcefully and strongly is please dont abandon us. We have already now a more difficult situation. If you take away ourjobs and if you take away even the basic needs that we have, where should we end up . More and more children are ending up like this, like ismutala and asif working 14 hours a day to feed their families. Together, they earn about a pound a day. Just enough to put bread on their table. Their father used to be a driver with a foreign company. It shut down when the taliban took over. War injured him, too. Translation my baby has no cradle. I sold it to buy some flour. If theres no other way, i would be forced to sell my children to survive. Agonizing choices. Thats life in afghanistan now. Lyse doucet, bbc news. Stefan wolff is professor of International Security at the university of birmingham. Thank you so much forjoining us. The consequences of withdrawal were entirely predictable from the severe humanitarian crisis to the economic crisis, given that, what responsibility does the west have to play for afghanistan is right now . In the sense that yes, the consequences were predictable but it is not like there was a prolonged western presence in afghanistan but it made a significant difference. Lets not forget there was no agreement between the United States and the taliban in the 29th of february. They arranged for the withdrawal of all western forces, all International Forces from afghanistan. But i was predicated on dialogue that would not have seen a Takeover Of Afghanistan by the taliban and subsequent establishment of the portal to connect regime described last month. Violence has diminished since the taliban takeover but we are seeing an escalating conflict between the taliban and the so called Islamic State. What impact has that had on the region . An interesting question and their two points. On one hand, yes, violence in afghanistan has decreased and that is completely out of the question but that does not necessarily mean that afghanistan is a more Peaceful Society and Security Gains that have been made of, the cost of really harsh repression and the taliban have made it out to all the taliban have made it out to all the positions and former Government Officials and ethnic minorities and women, the aspect of the situation in terms of Terrorist Groups in the confrontation of force between them an Islamic State but on the other hand, the taliban of created certain degree of space for the Terrorist Groups to once again make afghanistan a base for their regional operations and potentially much more Global Operations that we have seen and the taliban were in charge and alqaeda had a major influence of the country. Think other countries this as a threat . They do, not as much an acute thread in the same way that it was in the late 1990s into thousands, but is also interesting that at the moment, i think with the countries most concerned about that is china because china has significant fields that extremists were presented in organisations like the Eastern Group which might establish a base in afghanistan and then started to attack both china and also chinese interests and just today, we have seen an attack on chinese contractors in pakistan and pakistan is massively affected by the insecurity in afghanistan.
