Days after the Taliban assured the people of Afghanistan that they will be safe and promising that the women will continue to live with freedom, the organization reportedly banned women anchors from working in state television.

On August 17, the New York Times reported that the Taliban has “indefinitely suspended” women employees from state television. The Times attributed the news to Khadija Amin, a “prominent anchorwoman on state television”, who reportedly spoke about it during an interaction.

Amin said, “I am a journalist and I am not allowed to work. What will I do next? The next generation will have nothing, everything we have achieved for 20 years will be gone. The Taliban is the Taliban. They have not changed.”

Simultaneously, photographs went viral on social media: of Beheshta Arghand, a female anchor with the privately-owned Tolo News, interviewing Taliban spokesperson Mawlawi Abdulhaq Hemad.

On Tuesday, a Taliban spokesman pledged to honor women’s rights, but within the norms of Islamic law. Zabihullah Mujahid asserted that the Taliban would protect women’s rights which comes after the Taliban’s earlier rule that saw women’s lives and rights severely restricted.

They were banned from studying and working, kept hidden in their homes, and violently assaulted if they were seen in public with their faces uncovered.

Mujahid also said the Taliban wanted private media to remain independent, but stressed journalists should not work against national values.

The Taliban took control of Afghanistan in 1996, imposing harsh conditions and rules after their strict interpretation of Islamic law.

Under their rule, women had to cover themselves and leave the house only in the company of a male family member. The Taliban also prevented girls from going to school, and women from working outside the home. They were also prevented from voting.

Women were severely punished for not obeying these rules, including beatings and killing if they were guilty of adultery. Afghanistan has the highest maternal mortality rate in the world.

With the fall of the Taliban regime in 2001, the situation for women and girls improved dramatically, although these gains were partial and fragile.

Now, with the return of Taliban, many feared the return of the dark days and with the recent happenings it does seem like the fear has turned into a reality.

Talibans and Islam no dey give women chance at all.

They believe in gender role more than gender equality.

Lovely Viewpoint!

I thought they said they will protect women rights

....

Same religion, different practitioners. One is obsessed with conservatism, the other liberalism

Lol, Christians like to think their religion and Bible is different from Islam and the Koran. The thing is that Christians don't have the balls to commit the kind of atrocious acts the Muslims carry out. They all have the same goal, for everyone to accept their Jesus. They just don't have the balls like they used to back then.

It's still Muslims that will one day set themselves free. Up until now, they'd tell you that they are not in of what Boko, Bandit, etc are doing but speak up against it, mbanu o!, oti o! because someway, somehow their goals are being achieved. You guys are faced with reality now, that what goes around surely comes back around..Thank God we're in JET AGE, so move an T.V station to the females' houses and let them be broadcasting from there. Pantamized elements

It is well.

They feel women are distraction, A woman can manipulate a man with an AK-47 with her bottom power...

Taliban government will come to an end.
Evil people don't last forever.

God's Good

Sigh

The greatest mistake world powers made was allowing taliban take over Afghanistan

To be honest, Christians and the media are obsessed with Islam, imagine what was on previous thread about islamic banking as if it's a new thing

HandsomeHITLER:
The Muslims at their best!!
The average Muslim is happy with this development. They'll only pretend outside

The problem is that these people are terrorists

Muslims

That was expected from the Talibans, I guess the Saudis that allowed a woman to co-anchor are not Muslims enough.
