Akhundzada vs Haqqani, who will win the battle to lead the Taliban?
[KabulNow] In December 2022, the Taliban...Arabic for students... caused international uproar after banning women from working as aid workers, which forced major aid agencies to suspend operations in the country in protest, just when the country needed them most. With more than 28 million people in Afghanistan requiring aid to survive, and 6 million on the brink of famine, the UN, government officials, and NGO leaders have called on the Taliban to lift the ban and allow aid agencies to deliver aid to the people of Afghanistan as the deadly winter intensifies its grip on the country. The Taliban refused to budge. The ban, the group said, was to "protect our women’s dignity and honour." International condemnations and pressures did nothing to make the Taliban leadership change course. Posted by: trailing wife 2023-03-19 |
