Afghanistan
Geopolitical expert Fabien Baussarat says women have no place in Taliban's Afghanistan
Tel Aviv: Fabien Baussarat, the President of Center of Political and Foreign Affairs (CPFA), has said that Taliban's attitude towards women has not changed.
"Unlike in the 1990s, it is observed that the Taliban is back with a much more harsh and cruel face than before; though deliberate attempts have been to project a ‘reformed’ Taliban to the international community, he wrote in his article published in The Times of Israel.
"A cold shiver runs down the spine of Afghani women from the very thought of the Taliban taking over control in the country and its impact on their lives and future," he said.
He said since the year 2020 began, the Taliban have targeted women professionals at an alarming rate.
He said: "Now, many Afghan women feel deeply threatened for their life by the prospect of the Taliban gaining national power."
He said: "Also, in view of the recent incidents of targeted murders, assassinations and punishments meted out to women in public spaces, it is amply clear that the Taliban ideology has neither reformed nor changed in any form. Against this background, it would only be naïve of the international community to take the Taliban’s words seriously when it comes to peace,more so in the case of women and young girls."
