Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers decided against opening schools to girls above the sixth grade, reneging on a previous promise and opting to appease their hardline base at the expense of further alienating the international community.
The unexpected decision, confirmed by a Taliban official Wednesday, came at the start of the new school year in Afghanistan. It is bound to disrupt Taliban efforts to win recognition from potential international donors, at a time when the country is mired in a worsening humanitarian crisis.

women are not required to wear the all encompassing burqa. but must wear the traditional hijab, covering their heads

Girls have been banned from school beyond Grade 6 in most of the country since the Taliban’s return. Universities opened up earlier this year in much of the country, but since taking power the Taliban edicts have been erratic and while a handful of provinces continued to provide education to all, most provinces closed educational institutions for girls and women.

The leadership hasn’t decided when or how they will allow girls to return to school,” Hashmi said.

Most Taliban are ethnic Pashtuns. In their sweep through the country last year, other ethnics groups such as Uzbeks and Tajiks in the north of the country either joined the fight to give the Taliban their victory or simply chose not to fight.
“We did everything the Taliban asked in terms of Islamic dress and they promised that girls could go to school and now they have broken their promise,” said Mariam Naheebi, a local journalist who spoke to the Associated Press in the Afghan capital.

What kind of barbarian calls for the anhilation of 40 million people.
Here’s what kind of barbarian.
A wannabee mass murderer barbarian. One like you.
You wrote this:
“The next time Afghanistan should just glow in the dark. No troops, no invasion, just end them, all of them.”
“All of them”
That includes about 10 million children.
Youre probably not a Moslem.
At least that’s my guess.
But one thing youre 100% certainly not. A Christian.
I am shocked and dismayed, shocked and dismayed I tell you, at the number of FReepers that are genuinely surprised at this move by the Taliban. /S
I can’t even begin to describe how surprised I am by this...
Lol, unexpected...you gotta be kidding. Our "leaders'" stupidity is more than expected, however.
This is my shocked face.
But President Retard said they were nice radical ragheads? 🤪
Why is this news? It was a foregone conclusion as soon as the last US troops departed.
Frankly I am all for repealing the 19th Amendment too
This is what the women of American wanted.
What is all the virtue signaling crowd going to do about it?
Well, you can't trust Sunni Muslims.
But you can make a nuclear deal with Shia Muslims, i.e., Iran backed by "We'll store the excess plutonium" Russia.
Gawd, Biden & co. are so dumb.
I referring to after the next time the Taliban makes a terrorist attack and kills 1000s of people like happened September 11,2001. It is not worth the treasure and not worth the blood of our soldiers.
When it comes to Islam there can be no mercy. Honestly, they can do whatever they want in their own borders. I do not care. But, they need to be prevented from immigrating and their evil needs to be contain where they are. I am not calling for them to be killed in cold blood. Only as a response to their bringing death and destruction to innocent people. If the Taliban commits a terrorist act. Wipe them out. Do not engage them in another 20 year war.
BREAKING NEWS: The Taliban are untrustworthy...
Yep...
There is no such thing as a PLEDGE to a Muslim.
Taquiyya is their mantra
I wonder what the time frame of Trump's agreement with the Taliban was? He stipulated that if they hurt one American or go back on the agreement they would literally find hell on Earth. Of course Biteme negated the agreement by changing the pull out date.
the gays and feminists are going to love when the demoncrat party hands this nation over to islam
