last hour i spoke with p pashdani, a group dedicated to women s rights. i asked her about the taliban limiting women s freedoms while the country faces a devastating economic crisis and food shortage. why are the taliban so keen on following the issues of a girl s education so much that they are more focused on this when the country is shattering, the people are dying, there are earthquakes, why are they not focusing on those main issues? when they wanted to be the rulers, that s actually what a government agency does, provide services. they re not following up on electricity, they re not following up on water supply, civic system development. while their only focus is on how to make sure they control women, and this clearly shows they are making sure that they suffocate women to an extent where women will hate them for the rest of
