we roam, did you want the un to take and who stopped you? we listen. you see the whole infrastructure and being totally destroyed. we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on our sierra news, the hi michelle kerry and for for me, ok under and the stream with afghan a stand now under taliban control. what does the future look like for ask and in particular, women and girls, and one of the thousands of bass gans right now. who wants to leave their country but cannot get out? what does it say about us foreign policy, past, present, and future? lots of get into today. we do want to hear from those of you watching on youtube. so just leave a comment, leave a question. in the live chat, we do monitor that. we will read them and you can be in the stream as well. ah,

so it took the taliban just 10 days to sweep across afghanistan and regain control of the country. the groups quick rise to power, left millions of afghan citizens and fear over the uncertainty of what taliban rule will look like. and confirm reports of taliban fighters entering the homes of cobbler residence, have put people on edge family and friends across the country, sharing different stories with me, for example. and couple, they do have checkpoints across the city where they actually go in and check cell phones to see if there's any sort of the united states affiliation. we're also seeing the taliban go into different communities, requesting food from local restaurants and from just a regular household. and especially we're seeing that they're going into neighborhoods and market houses that are minorities. and so that's very concerning . i know the last 2 years to the taliban really changed their tone. try to turn a new leave. but in reality, this is the same organizations that we've known their oppressive. they want their

dominance to be known and they want to be recognized. and i know surely we're going to see the old taliban come out. all this is the nighted states concludes. it's paula from the country. feverish li, evacuating american personnel and afghan allies. so what lies ahead? joining us from afghanistan to discuss this is pushed on to ron a. she's an educator and the director of learned ethan education nonprofit focusing on afghan women and girls, and in the united states. bribery, when president of global situation room and the former director of global engagement at the white house during the obama administration. welcome to both of you. thank you for joining us. so push on. i'm not sure if you're able to, if you were listening to what it was that lead as he was saying, does that ring true to you? what are you hearing about what the situation is right now in afghanistan? hey, i just got in touch with my cousin and that he, he told me that right now in like, you know, people are claiming that, oh they didn't do anything. everything is that they're just speaking with weapons.

mike ever just told me that the bikes back there are people like, you know, 7 tags that buy from that, electric generators, whatever they could find a home b to all of those. and he keeps on telling me that, you know, even the appliances are not the bed, and then the back to the ground reality from right now. just a few minutes before. sure. what to you, what are, what is the word for people that want to leave and offer american personnel the late but for ask and that want to leave, how are you all communicating with each other, getting word to each other. if somebody wants to leave right now, do they even know what to do? no, it's not. that's something that everybody has a backup plan, okay. all when i am supposed to leave and what should i have in my bag or whatever? i mean, like majority of the people, i don't know if you have seen the eco to reduce their hard to find modifying. have you seen us going to crime is being left behind. people are murdering each other to

get or to the gate. i'm in different groups, all the groups, keep on saying to each other that the food is closed back. so there is no, what do you call it a my can is i'm to, for the people who want to fleet are, did is know, like, you know, even the regional countries are not opening up the waters for the wonder if he said like he arctic right? now, so right when you listen to, to what posada is describing is chaotic, what is it that you see and hear as a planner when you hear that? well, you know, it's interesting to hear that account. and then i just got done or listening to the deputy secretary of state, wendy sherman brief, from the podium at the state department. and her spin on this is, well, anyone who wants to you can certainly come to me cause i international airport. and we will process them, but i know not just as a planner, but somebody who serve as american diplomat across africa, iraq, venezuela,

a lot harder on the ground. and that unfortunately, i think is the disconnect we have seen and are seeing between the bided administration. who on the one hand has you know, theory and slogan. and on the other hand, the reality certainly of the women and girls and i've got this done. mean, it is heart wrenching, it is heart wrenching for 20 years. we told them to stand up to be bold, and we just walked away. and the word from the white house, you know, the word from the president himself. he's not just going to be damaging, and i'm looking at this is somebody who, you know, handle american global engagement for a couple years. it's going to be damaging around the world. mean girls in nigeria. i mean, i remember when we built, let girls learn after the kidnapping of the school girls and chuck nigeria. i mean, they have got to be worried as they're watching, what's happening and how can a stand? i think it's disastrous. so i want to read

a couple of comments. are also getting from people on youtube that are watching right now. hi, adela says it's too soon to judge if they are evil or the saviors about ghana. stan, meaning the taliban will get back to that in just a moment. and then another comment from someone. no, no, says massacres. have actually been happening for 20 years. it's just that nobody cared. what about that? pushed on it. what do you make there's there's obviously a lot of a lot of dialogue about this is getting a lot of news coverage in the us. but for years, as ghana said was not something that many people beyond a few reporter. it's actually talked about and gave much attention to what do you make of the fact that it's getting all this attention now, whereas it may have been collected for so long as it's something that we should care about. i am so sorry, i keep on getting into the yet my apologies on that can you know? absolutely. i said what do you make of the fact that now there is so much attention

being paid to what's happening and, and rightly show what rightly so. but for years and years that wasn't something that was front and center as an important topic. even though there were thousands of afghans were losing their lives and, and thousands of american soldiers losing their lives as well. me at the moment you have to understand that some one women and everybody right now is like, you know, just confused. they don't know what the future read them. right. there are a lot of the thing that it is coming out from cobbled. everybody, things are normal, that's all about are nice and polite, but then you go to poland, says, and you see that in pieces where you see that being close to the new. so my own poems and they're telling me that the parents who have been closed down to being torn up then at the same time the same thing is happening and hit out where you have to understand that, you know, for 20 years, for 2 decades, we have to give up on all those people my own district,

we looked at our 2200 people so that we could live as i do not want to stand within another district. just for back. can you imagine the things that we have to go through and now for 2300 men with all those they do, we are left between like, you know, in a, in a, in a situation where we don't know how to respond to the us. we do, we don't know where we stand, where we don't know how to, who to reach out to you. exactly. so here i think it's mostly at the same time. we actually changing our lenses right now because that's kind of a would be we're, we're not even into the, the we're but in the us military plane, right. we have to question those alliances. right? you know, the taliban is not an unknown quantity. i mean, we have a common from someone who we don't know yet if they're evil or saviors, it's obvious that they are definitely trying to change their image. you know,

when they came into, into afghanistan in the ninety's, they were, there wasn't a lot known about them. but they app, but yeah, absolutely. have a track record now to know who they are. are you buying this, this new and improved image they're trying to put to the world and what is their actual motivation? because it's clear from what we're hearing from brush donna, that regardless of what they're telling people, people are still terrified on the ground. yeah, and you know, i currently work in public relations, so i can certainly add and detect a p r campaign. when i see one, and i think that's precisely what you have yesterday's press conference in. cobble by the taliban. it was an effort to try and quite frankly, just gloss over some of those other less savory and less, quite frankly, justifiable position that the taller bond continues to take. and there were a lot of generalities. you know, women will have their place under sri a lot at the end of the day. and this is where i want to be very specific. i think

the american administration, europeans, other allies need to seize the moment now. and i know there's a lot of leaders watching from around the world. this is the point in which you need to be very specific about the demand that we're making on the taliban. not just in general, let support women and girls. but what are the things that we as an international community are going to ask the tolerant, and we're going to hold them accountable for what a whole lot of them and say, i want to ask you, does the us, what leverage of the us still have? well, we still still troops at the airport in cobb all, we still have air power and we still quite frankly, have a lot of carrots that can be offered. you've heard the american administration speak of them over the last several days that if they want not just diplomatic recognition, but aid, all of that has to be made contingent on very specific policies, programs, and steps that the taliban are going to take it. let's not forget, i mean you,

you mentioned we know who the taliban are. we've also seen over the course the last couple years into go see ations on this very withdrawal that the taliban have not made good on their promises. so i think there are a lot of questions and we absolutely have to verify we absolutely have to ensure that at this moment we are making very or our expectations and the taliban know it . so and there has been a lot of talk and a lot of concern in particular about what the taliban being back in power actually means for women and girls. and they had a talking about p r. obviously they had a huge press conference yesterday, and there's a couple of something i've been falling on twitter. someone posted a picture of all the journalists that are at the press conference. and one comments specifically says so, where are the female journalists in today's press conference? there was at least one female journalist there, someone from al jazeera charlotte bellas, who actually put the question to the taliban. what does this mean for women and girls? so i want to play what the taliban had to say,

and then we can talk about it on the other side of the mission earlier, just a little when we are going to allow women to work on this work. so i tell you about bond was under, the women are going to be very active and fighting with the families. what does that mean to you by shot when you say within the framework of islam? because islam means different things to different people. i'm going to go, i just find it very weak every time be use a slam as a ski go for whatever the btn carly goose stick mean dominated like, you know, i, i just find it funny at the same time. and so thing when the use bought a lamp to give good everything that we have to see, i mean like what was unshared? yeah, right now enough on the sun, what were women doing that the back was not under the chevy. a lot of fun isn't

islamic country. avalon women are majority of them are most of them would be worrying everything according to the shed. yeah, i mean like the lama can probably call on it. so what was it that the think is now not acceptable under the chevy a lot. and i find it funny, every time people in the international media asked me if they have change. yes, we have to, you know, they can speak english and they have a very good but other than that, we haven't changed from car, apart from car will. do you see any changes? i women going to, you know, a teen hit our, their goods going to school in come back or be going to work in the come by. if so, then yeah, they have change. if not, then they have not changed just sticking to that and they're using shot. yeah, it's not as weak turns as possible just to get there. and there actually are already reports that were saying a women being for some, their jobs are sickly on from banking jobs, we have some very specific examples of that. and right, i wonder if you think, you know, there may be cases of women being force and their jobs are also maybe cases quite

frankly, a women just being scared and almost self censoring and not even leaving the house anymore. how common do you think that is right now? oh, absolutely, and look. i mean, there are a lot of families as well that are just going to try and keep their female members of the family home until it is clear what the rules will be. what the taliban means when they say that women will have freedoms. and this, i think, is obviously a very dangerous and delicate situation where one of the things is an american diplomat that i learned is you have to make beachheads. and i think in this moment it's really important for both african women, but also for the international community. as i was saying earlier, to stand up and to say we insist that these rights that these freedoms are protect

it and that we are going to have under a telephone rule, a modicum of freedom. and right now, there are a number of areas in which i think specifically as my co panelists mentioned, girls need to be back in school tomorrow, not next week, not next month. and that ought to be conditioned on any engagement that the international community is going to have. certainly any aid that we're providing you to listen to something from my rashid flame, he's an author in an academic scholar, talking about what he thinks the people of afghanistan need. and then we'll talk about it on the other side. what the people need and want is not the taliban. they want accountability and they want the international community to have the will to not sacrifice and other generation of, of bonds to death, destruction displacement and loss. just because the number of corporations in

a number of countries want to capitalize on the rich resources and geopolitical location of honest on the afghan people deserve justice. and they demand autonomy and a right to fair and free elections and the removal of the taliban from the help of government hotshot question. and what does that, what does justice mean and look like for you when he says justice. well, but that be for you? yes. this is holding sullivan accountable for whatever he does to us for the past 20 years, just because he went to school just because we were working for the betterment of one of them. that is justice. we are really going to talk about this just, just this is we are going to hold accountable all the cut up leaders that the america, i'm the west empowered in the past few decades or all the civilian us off out on the sun. and they looted up on us some back justice. what is just this in the fax back to 50 percent of the country has to move. all right, just because

a few men and presidential spend as changed. what, how is that? even just as of the same time, we have to understand that one women right now need a surety more nice validate the more nice international community to stand by them . right. in the past, what we did was international community empower the elite women of upon the sun state. now the civilian women, the stephanie and the international community has a leverage to use that and sat in philadelphia. but i'm not sure what they are doing because it has been dees. i'm international as community has not even a word. i mean like getting to an airport. it's not something that every woman would want that everyone wants to leave this country, but be forced to do so. so there are chances that the international community should stand up and be just towards the women of on the sun. that's justice brett, what, what does the us push on to settle off air?

what does the u. s. o africana stand with us, the us specifically a women and girls and you brought up an interesting point a moment ago who is watching this? what are the takeaways that other countries, even other armed groups are getting from this? i mean, the taliban played the long game for 20 years and they ended up getting what they wanted. and look, i think in my view, the united states of america. oh, those brave women afghanistan's an enormous debt because they were an inspiration. i mean, i remember sitting at the state department at the white house and hearing the stories of countless towels of braver race. and yet, you know, unfortunately, president biden has now said, you know, it's just not worth it. it's not worth spending our, our time and making the investment. and i don't care how much spin is put on it from the white house podium. we have a band and the cost is you rightly?

yeah. okay, let me, let me ask you what, let's, let's pick that apart a little bit though, abandoned them in the sense that you're saying the u. s. should still be there or a bad and them in the sense of the way this was handled well, i think both senses 1st, you know, we, i believe sure should have an enduring presence there. that was critical, as we've seen just in the last several days to shoring up the, the confidence and the capabilities of the military for how long berman well, you know, look, we have more truth currently in space than we did have enough. honest on this year . i think, you know, with a small presence, certainly over the past 20 years, but over the past 20 years, there weren't thousands of us troops dying in spain. there were thousands of do it through us troops dying. and ghana said over the past 20 years, except this year there were no combat casualties. so my argument would be that that

was worth the price that was worth ensuring that women and girls could go to school, that we could have certain rights and yes, work towards a more perfect form of government in afghanistan, you could have elections, and the people decide even as an imperfect ok for what i do and i don't want interrupt pushed on. i wanted to wanted to interact, i had here's the thing, i personally am and i and i, i personally believe that don't mind me for saying this back to i put anything that the american troops, i'm not super heroes that i'm not marvel, you know, every time the something on the what happening and the aliens attack and they are the ones you know, like, you know, seeing the whole wars that's, that's not in reality, that's not true, right? to be, couldn't have done back in upon us on even what the, the us could have done is like, you know, didn't like the, legitimize that the hardy didn't stand by when the taliban were abusing ones right . when they were abusing the civilians. in the past the week i lost the family

members in the past the weeks and there the u. s. by every one person who was moving their family members and spin back in on july in jerry. so i'm, i'm asking this not from the us back to all the way all these list and power the call them says like, you know, the leaders of the what and then the stand by. and it's not like you're right and had to put in a lot of money, a lot of effort or something. you just had to pick up her phone and call the office and and tell them stop by abusing the civilian or we don't like it to my dean, but he didn't do it. that makes me want to question the leadership that makes me want to question the fact that america present them on a sunday. was it worth it? was it what their time? that the last all these people all the time and the rest it so much enough on a song i'm in the end of the day, the couldn't even pick up the form on pressure as a call upon and not being into not using the civilians into not a funny sound sharp push on, on what you sound very frustrated,

but what i'm also hearing issue sound. you sound abandoned. that's my putting words in your mouth. that's how it sounds. what you're describing. i, i don't feel abandoned by you. all right, and i didn't want him, i do i'm going to be honest. i didn't want put on americans, has been back lived america, people's choice and in democracy. that's how it works on back fine. but the fact that i would it for president is i me and he leave the country in all this chaos you know, on push on all the ask you, have you have you watch what he said today? i'm glad you brought that up. what is your reaction? he says that the reason he left is because there was going to be violence and bloodshed. he says that he did not take all the money that he's accused to take in . what is your reaction to what you heard and we're, we're almost out of time, but i do want to hear what you think of that. the, the fact that he ok, he didn't take the money. he didn't want the lecture, but then why did he need corruption the past 4 years?

the past all the time that he was empowered, why did he bring in people who would double triple passports to our climate? son who are not sincere toward one? is that why did he let the follow up on his son let go of them? they did, he didn't contact them. he didn't feed them in confidence. he literally abandoned up on this. i'm in the process and now he says that he didn't do any of the things that she would actually use if that's abusive towards the civilians. i'm sorry you for. i'm going to say it again. and again, the west, me by the cut up leader, the west. any but i live on and they keep on doing this. i've got women and civilians. brett, we've got about 30 seconds. you can respond. i think i can rightfully say having both voted for and support joe biden. i feel abandoned. i expected better. and i'm, i'm sorely ashamed right now, and i will continue to do everything i can to raise my voice and to draw attention to it. because i don't think that what we're doing enough kind of stand is in our

interest and certainly not in the interests of women and girls in that country region and around the world. that's going to be the final word on this discussion for now. but we will obviously continue the discussion of brett brewin. thank you so much for joining us. ashanna jerone. thank you both for joining us. and again, there will be many more conversations to have about this. that is all for now though. thanks to our gas. thank you to our community as well for participating. we had many, many comments on youtube. i tried to get as many of them read as i can, so i'm keep sending them. we'll continue the dialogue. that's all for now until next time. take care ah, [000:00:00;00]
