Education or the lack of it is the single most important cause for families to pack up and leave.
Yesterday's decision not allowing girls to go the secondary schools, will cause another braindrain, taking away opportunities for the country.

These murders are all crimes that will need to be answered for. These breaches of International Humanitarian Law
#IHL
do not have a statute of limitations. The crime will not go away. This has to stop and be stopped.
The “ethic cleansing” continues. Such an organised movement of assassinations casts serious doubts on the actual character of the peace negotiations and the sincerity of pursuing a negotiated political settlement.

I totally agree with this point, provided she has authority and respects HR. Cooperation based on actions is the way forward.
Taliban must appoint a women to a leadership role in the current caretaker administration right now.
Ministry of education could be a good start.
This way they can demonstrate the credibility of their promises that they don’t seek to stop women from leadership roles.

: NYT
@MujMash
: “Another mass-casualty attack on Afghanistan's Harzaras today (…)” - I add : religious and ethnic minorities specifically targeted. Multifaceted response needed from DFA: human security based on good governance @
& rule of law. A tall order. Needed.
Another mass-casualty attack on Afghanistan's Harzaras today -- worshipers targeted in mosque just days after children targeted in school.
(And this little line at the end of the NYT news story tells you tales on the mad violence engulfing this world of ours.)

Horrible news. Again a suicide attack in Dashte-Barchi, the Hazara neighborhood of Kabul. 60 dead? Third attack against schools in last two years, in total hundreds killed or maimed for life. - New authorities. Same responsibility. Similar lack of action.
A suicide bomber blew himself up in the middle of this crowded class today, taking many innocent souls, mostly girls.

is the “only country in the world where women and girls are not allowed” to study beyond primary or puberty. This policy comes from a tiny but still powerful or influential minority.
Afghanistan is the only country in the world where women and girls are not allowed to attend secondary schools and universities. No Muslim country or Islamic organization has expressed support for the Taliban’s ban

The signals from leaders last week in Kabul, going from mixed messages to emphatically yes, the schools will open, turned out to be wishful thinking. - The TB leadership, all of them, should now pick up the very clear signals from about the entire population in
#Afghanistan
Indeed, it seems like some IEA understood how catastrophic it would be to deny girls' education. They seemingly thought, exploiting a bit of strategic ambiguity, that they would be able to force the leadership along. And it badly backfired - forcing the IEA onto defense

M. Wesa was already an advocate for education under the republic. He's not anti anything, just pro education.

Deeply troubled by the arrest of
