These Afghans showed great courage on Tuesday. After the radical Islamic Taliban came to power, they gathered for a small protest. The women demanded the right to education, the right to political participation and the right to live in a safe society. According to eyewitness reports, the protest was watched by armed Taliban fighters. It is feared that the Taliban will again massively oppress women after their triumphant advance. At a press conference on Tuesday evening, the Taliban said they were committed to women’s rights. However, within the framework of the Sharia system. Girls and women should continue to be able to go to school and university, and work is also allowed. They are allowed to leave the house without a male companion, the headscarf is compulsory, the burqa voluntary. Women would also become part of the government. These are all things that were different under the old Taliban regime over 20 years ago. However, there are great doubts among the population that the Taliban will keep their promises. This passerby in Kabul said on Wednesday: “I urge the Taliban to let the youth and women continue their studies so that we can move forward. We should develop and achieve more, more than what we have done in the last 20 years achieved”. Meanwhile, evacuations from the Taliban-occupied Afghan capital Kabul are progressing. According to US security circles, thousands of diplomats, foreigners and local staff had been flown out by the military by Wednesday. But the local workers who cannot get through to the airport and who, as former helpers of Western countries, fear the revenge of the Taliban, are of increasing concern.
