Taliban special forces bring abrupt end to women's protest

Source: AP

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Taliban special forces in camouflage fired their weapons into the air Saturday, bringing an abrupt and frightening end to the latest protest march in the capital by Afghan women demanding equal rights from the new rulers.

Also on Saturday, the chief of Pakistan’s powerful intelligence agency, which has an outsized influence on the Taliban, made a surprise visit to Kabul.

Taliban fighters quickly captured most of Afghanistan last month and celebrated the departure of the last U.S. forces after 20 years of war. The insurgent group must now govern a war-ravaged country that is heavily reliant on international aid.

The women's march — the second in as many days in Kabul — began peacefully. Demonstrators laid a wreath outside Afghanistan's Defense Ministry to honor Afghan soldiers who died fighting the Taliban before marching on to the presidential palace.

Are exactly what I thought from the headline. AmurKKKan MAGABAN Special “Farces”. “You will obey my commands. We got you by the pussy.” I would venture to say that their Cleric, Steve Bannon, is also lord of the Incels. Who would fuck that????

That was a very brave act by those women. DT negotiating with the Taliban only was another huge blunder by the babbling idiot.

Surprised to see this by the women of Afghanistan I figured I would for sure see a post about women in Texas marching this weekend.

We've left a generation of free women to become shackled like their mothers had been.
What an absolute & preventable shame
