NEW YORK (Reuters) - United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Sunday urged the Taliban and all other parties to exercise the utmost restraint in order to protect lives and expressed particular concern about the future of women and girls in Afghanistan.
Taliban insurgents entered Kabul https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/talibans-rapid-advance-across-afghanistan-2021-08-10 and President Ashraf Ghani left Afghanistan on Sunday, bringing the Islamist militants close to taking over the country two decades after they were overthrown by a U.S.-led invasion.
"There continue to be reports of serious human rights abuses and violations in the communities most affected by the fighting," U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said in a statement, adding that Guterres "is particularly concerned about the future of women and girls, whose hard-won rights must be protected."
"All abuses must stop. He calls on the Taliban and all other parties to ensure ... the rights and freedoms of all people are respected and protected," Dujarric said.
Under Taliban rule between 1996 and 2001, women could not work, girls were not allowed to attend school and women had to cover their faces and be accompanied by a male relative if they wanted to venture out of their homes.
Guterres will brief the U.N. Security Council on Monday on Afghanistan. In an Aug. 3 statement, agreed by consensus, the 15 council members "declared that they do not support the restoration of the Islamic Emirate" (Taliban rule).
Afghanistan's U.N. ambassador, Ghulam Isaczai, appointed last month, told Reuters on Sunday: "The message I sent to the council today is to do everything to prevent further violence and ensure an orderly transition to a transitional government."
Guterres warned on Friday that Afghanistan was "spinning out of control" https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/un-says-evaluating-afghanistan-security-hourly-no-staff-evacuation-2021-08-13 and called on the Taliban to halt their offensive.
The United Nations has about 3,000 national staff and about 300 international staff on the ground in Afghanistan. On Friday, Dujarric said some staff had been relocated to Kabul but that none had been evacuated from the country.
"The United Nations remains determined to contribute to a peaceful settlement, promote the human rights of all Afghans, notably women and girls, and provide life-saving humanitarian assistance and critical support to civilians in need," Dujarric said on Sunday.
He said the need for assistance is "surging while the operating environment becomes more restricted due to the escalation of the conflict." Guterres called on all parties to ensure unimpeded humanitarian aid access.
In April, the Taliban stepped up a campaign to defeat the U.S.-backed government as foreign forces withdrew after 20 years of war. U.S.-backed Afghan forces toppled the Taliban from power in late 2001 for refusing to hand over al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.
these ROBBERS OF OUR MONEY AND THEIVES OF LIVE STILL DO NOT KNOW WTF IS UP THEY CONTINUE THEIR FACADE OF WOKENESS
Biden declared something in April that pissed off the Taliban. Hmmm. what was that?
And respect for their pronouns!
.
.
Yes please do not offend the transitioners.
.
They were essentially urging a revolution in the first seven months.
Even Generals were primarily concerned with promoting and furthering BLM and keeping Antifa free as their soldiers.
Woke everything and their Generals are useless, the Economists want inflation and pain, and the Energy Dept is against cheap and abundant Energy.

This is it in a nutshell. When elite rulers meet the real world.
The fact people in this country STILL support this party of Marxist traitors is sickening.
The are so worried about Trump supporters and being woke.
Hollywood needs to go to kabul and start a metoo campaign
Perhaps that Milano chick can go start one
He better not get Covid
The Taliban does not know the meaning of the word restraint, no matter what language is used.
There no women or girls left in Biden’s Islamic state...
Only sex slaves or decapitated bodies...
What future? They have none.
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden will announce Wednesday that the United States will fully withdraw its troops from Afghanistan by Sept. 11, a symbolic deadline marking the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, senior administration officials said Tuesday.
The troop drawdown will begin before May 1, the deadline for complete withdrawal as outlined in a deal the Trump administration reached with the Taliban, a senior administration official said. The U.S. says there are roughly 2,500 troops serving in Afghanistan.
In other words he decided to violate the agreement Trump had with the Taliban. While the Taliban are certainly liars, I suspect Biden pissed them off and gave them a perfect excuse not to hold up their end of the agreement.
Purveyor of empty words.
.... I believe that The Biden Administration just handed the Taliban and the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan a 10,000 person sized hostage barganing chip ... And will soon be making huge demands of the BSA (Biden States of America) which is now run by paranoid Woke Snowflakes that will certainly melt under pressure and heat of this Real World Non Woke situation.
NOW they are concerned about girls?
Only if a Republican was still President, then feminists would get angry and wear pink hats and protest in the nation’s capital.
thanks
All the women happily volunteered to become tallyban brides and rape objects.
Maybe a hashtag campaign will help...
Get Mrs. Obama to do it. Worked last time…NOT.
