Afghan Women Stage Protest Outside Government Office Ask For Roles In New Cabinet

When the Taliban held power over the country in the 1990s, Afghan women lived under repressive restrictions enforced by the group and were subject to severe punishments and separation from public life, the AP reported. Taliban fighters present at the Herat protest didn’t heed the demonstrators’ request to see the governor, but they didn’t disband the protest either. Since taking back power in the past few weeks, the Taliban looked to calm concerns of a regression of rights for women, including vowing to allow women and girls to get educations and people to travel freely....

Afghanistan Low On Physical Cash After Taliban Takeover As Reserves Held Outside Nation

“The amount of such cash remaining is close to zero due a stoppage of shipments as the security situation deteriorated, especially during the last few days,” Ajmal Ahmady, Economic Advisor to the Afghanistan president, tweeted.

Africa S Taliban

This time, however, the fighting was brief, and by Somali standards relatively bloodless (400 died). Afterward, for the first time, the warlords who had been running amok were chased from Mogadishu. A visitor last week was able to spend five days in the capital without hearing a single gunshot or negotiating a militia roadblock (there used to be 10 just on the road to the airport). The Islamic Courts Union (ICU), a popular movement built around traditional Islamic Sharia courts and financed by fed-up businessmen, collected the militiamen’s guns and rounded up their “technicals”–jeeps with gun mounts in the back....
