“The army collapsed in a matter of days”
How did the Taliban take over Afghanistan and what will happen to Afghan women? Podcast guests: Valery Shiryaev and Nadezhda Tambieva
No one expected it to happen so quickly, but on August 15, the Taliban * surrounded the Afghan capital of Kabul and demanded a peaceful transfer of power from President Ashraf Ghani as soon as possible.
Residents of Afghanistan are leaving the country en masse, the airport is overcrowded, people are clinging to the landing gear of aircraft and risking their lives, accumulating on the runway. In the media, the future of women in the country is also causing massive concern, they talk about very harsh conditions - as it was in 1996, when the Taliban already proclaimed the Islamic Emirate, introduced Sharia, sharply limited the rights of women, introduced the death penalty and corporal punishment.
How and why did such a dramatic seizure of power take place and what lies ahead for Afghanistan? Discuss today in the first episode of the second season of the podcast "What's new?" with our military observer Valery Shiryaev. Islamic scholar Natalya Tambiyeva spoke about the possible prospects for Afghan women.
