Taliban beat women protesting against school bombing, say witnesses

Women protesting against the suicide bombing of a school in Afghanistan, which killed 35 young Hazara women and girls on Friday, have been beaten and shot at by Taliban according to witnesses.

Dozens of women from the Hazara community protested against the attack on the Kaaj educational centre in Dasht-e-Barchi, a neighbourhood home to the Shia Hazara community in western Kabul.

Those who died in the attack were mostly Hazara women aged between 18 to 24 years who had been preparing for an exam.

Women who gathered to demonstrate against the killings on Friday said Taliban forces opened fire and used physical violence to break up the protest minutes after it had started.

“We were marching together and chanting for justice for our Hazara sisters who were murdered yesterday. This is a genocide of the Hazaras and all we want is education and freedom,” said one Hazara woman.

No group has claimed responsibility for Friday’s attack, but the Hazara community is increasingly coming under attack by the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP), Islamic State’s affiliate in Afghanistan according to human rights groups.

Public anger about the attack has intensified over the weekend, with protests spreading to Bamyan and Herat provinces.

Hundreds of women marched from Herat University on Sunday morning demanding their right to education and safety for Hazaras. Witnesses confirmed that Taliban shot repeatedly at the women, with one of them grabbing a protester by her headscarf and pushing her to the ground.

The feminists are busy watching their favorite trans athletes beat the crap out of women in sports.

Of course, it’s awful and the woman did not deserve that kind of treatment, but is anyone really surprised?
We are talking about the Taliban. This is what they do. This is what they get paid to do.

20 years, a couple $ trillion, and absolutely jack-shyte was achieved by the MIC idiots in DC

Can’t wait to see how Ukraine turns out.

They’re too cowardly to stand up for these truly oppressed women.

They just screech about rights to kill unborn children and wanting schools to provide condoms for elementary school kids.

you have to be willing to fight for your rights. If you aren’t willing to lift a finger in your own defense after getting literal trillions of dollars in equipment, training, and cold hard cash nobody’s going to do it for you. In the end the Afghans didn’t put up a fight because this ‘tragedy’ that the media is showing us is exactly what they want. Arrogant westerners on both sides of the aisle need to get over themselves and realize not everybody wants to live like them in gigantic concrete cities with transgender bathrooms, 10 recycling bins, and thousands of woke social justice laws. Some people are perfectly fine living a simple life of goat herding and sharia law and if they want it so badly who are we to deny them?

The mistake was for the US to come in and spend an untold fortune in blood and gold in some mad quest to try to transform it into San Fransisco on the desert

Why can’t we swap these women for the hags who vote solely for the right to kill their babies like we have in this country?

If that is all that was done it was no more than a gentle love tap from those boys. How I would like to set them loose on a tranny parade here.

The USA made3 mistakes in Afghanistan. The initial response in 2002 was correct but then

1. The USA should not have allied with Pakistan. Pakistan screwed us over and kept al Qaeda in safety.

2. The 2nd gulf war should have happened. Better to have taken on Pakistan, killed Osama and destroyed the Islamic nuclear bomb.

3. The USA should have then left in 2005. Let the Tajiks, hazard, Uzbeks, parthians etc break into separate countries. India and iran would have kept them in check

Nah, Joe didn’t exactly help but the lionshare of blame here on the US side goes to Bush II.
