No compromise on women’s rights if peace deal achieved: Gulbuddin’s party
2016-04-03
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] Amid optimisms that a peace deal will be achieved in the near future with Hezb-e-Islami party led by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar
... who used to be known in intelligence circles as The Most Evil Man in the World but who now seems merely run-of-the-mill evil...
, the representatives of the party have seized there will be no compromise on women’s rights if two sides agreed to strike a deal.

According to the Afghan High Peace Council, the pledge by the representatives of Hezb-e-Islami was made during a meeting with the women’s rights activist in Kabul
...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
today.

The activists reportedly shared their concerns and questions with the representatives of Hezb-e-Islami who are in Kabul for peace talks.

This comes as the Afghan women suffered the most during the Taliban regime followed by years of violence as a result of civil war.

The women were particularly targeted by the Taliban regime who were barred from studies and other social activities.

However,
there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened...
Atiqullah Safi, a member of Hezb-e-Islami said the party respects the women’s position in the society and dismissed the reports regarding the party’s stance to prevent women from education as baseless.

Safi further added at least 8,000 children are studying in the schools of Hezb-e-Islami with the girls students forming half of the number.
