we have dissolved the constitution, we will dissolve the institutions. our government is dissolved. we will close the land boulders for another week, and then we will see what to do with the borders. we will find the solution to get out of this mess that stephan is actually lapointe because the personalization of politics of political life is over. we will no longer entrust politics to a man. we will entrusted to the people. earlier there was have he gone fine in the presidential palace and con, agreed, but guineas, defense ministry, which is loyal to the president says that it repelled the attack by special forces . military has been deployed on the streets and there urging people to stay at home . in all the headlines, the leader of an african opposition group. resisting taliban forces says he is willing to stop fighting. if the taliban stops its attacks. have been more clashes in the pantry of valley north of the capitol cobble? well position forces have been battling the taliban for days. national resistance front on of a canister, nita ahmed,

my food says he welcomes proposals from religious scholars for negotiated settlement and the fighting. both sides claim they've inflicted heavy losses and at least 3 civilians have been killed in a syrian government attack on the rebel health city of dera. it follows a 3 day c, 5 broken by russia. after weeks of attacks on the area, truth was meant allow aiden, but people say the city. but people in the city saying that supplies haven't arrived because they use government forces trying to take control. syrian state media says, fight isn't there. i have been given a final deadline of to morrow to accept the conditions set by government. so to say with his talk, told you there is coming up next with a gun. astonish for me to actually speaker of parliament fazio kofi, joining us. i lose

the value kofi began her political career after the fall of the taliban government in late 2001 her focus promoting the right to education of girls and protecting children from violence, exploitation, and abuse. she has survived several assassination attempts, but not even that stopped her from passionately advocating for the rights of women and her country. coffee was born in the north eastern bash on region of afghanistan in 1975. she had a difficult childhood, rejected by her family for her gender. she had to overcome many obstacles. yet, despite these challenges, she rose to become

a scanner and 1st female deputy speaker of parliament. some even considered her a potential candidate for the afghan presidency. now with the taliban back in control and in the wake of the us withdrawal coffee left the country and is now hosted in car. but it's her fight for the rights of african women over afghanistan, former deputy speaker of parliament, foul vehicle feet talks to al jazeera. ah, the vehicle former asked the deputy speaker of parliament. thank you for talking child, sarah. thank you for having. i've kind of sun, i've seen conflict for more than 40 years from the soviet invasion in the late 19 seventy's to the rise of the taliban and the 1990 s. and of course, the us invasion of 2001. you have personally witnessed all these changes. now that us troops are gone. the democratically elected president sheriff connie fled the

country, and the taliban has taken over once again. what is your assessment? unfortunately, what has happened lately upon the sun is unbelievable for most of the population that live in the country after 20 years of blood and treasure investment. not only by international friends and partners, but also by the people of atlanta. son who have been in the full front of protecting, you know, liberties and gains to see everything clubs in, in such a rapid manner was, was heartbreaking personally for me as well. because i was part of all of this. i was in a way contributed to everything that has happened in the last 20 years in upon a son to see everything collapse. so rapidly i think was was something that was terrifying for most of the people in upon the sun. i think a lot of mistakes by international community, enough kind of sundays out to where we are. i would firstly put the blame on

international community, especially there. and i could states because they were the one who actually favor the president shop money in 2014 he, he didn't win the election. it was his, you know, the other side of the law was the winner. but they, in a political agreement, they gave him the election. he was favor in the 1st 5 years. this was one of the most corrupt government power centric. and 20192020 again to hit the elections. and he was elected president, would very, very low percentage of voters that indicated that he is not popular, but they will continue to support him. and i think, you know, lack of vision, lack of leadership, corruption, all of that result in club of things situation. what do you make of president connie leaving the way he did? i feel sorry for somebody who claim to,

to present nation and leaving without even facing a real trip, the color. but we're not in column. there was talks that there will be a political the often to establish an intern setup on as a result of fish that he will leave. i think if he only there to stay another few weeks, we would have not placed the situation of collapse. as we know, and i think it was because of his, you know, mistake of leaving the country the way he did and rumors of taking millions of dollars with him. of motivated a lot of people also to go to the airport. here from day one, i had the view that he is a baseless politician, that he does not have strong route and upon some he could came with a back and i have, i was listening to my speech in the parliament the other day. i exactly said this in 2014, when he was elected, i said those will come with a bag will leave with

a bag. and exactly, that's what, that's what happened. he actually came with a back and the lift, a lot of some and miserable situation with the back. have you talked to president connie since he left? no. i don't want to talk to him. there is no reason to talk to him. he must be embarrassed of what he does. you are part of the negotiating team representing the then afghan government at the intra afghan talks, you yourself met with the taliban in moscow and oh ha. that talks clearly failed. so what went wrong? i have been engaged with caliber now for 2 years because i knew that it's totally true negotiation. an engagement that we could present a different going to some the college and should adopt i was because i'm in the fate and not the government. this was a team that was diverse in many ways, representing different groups and political community on the some. i think

one of the things that the americans, that was, they talked were taliban had an agreement with them without engaging the status of gun this done that already put ton a button in a victorious mode unofficially after the you know, the us president announcement that he will withdraw without any condition, which was in contradiction to what to do. agreement said they had him into taliban and the united states that's put tolerable in a position that they did not see the need for following the u. s. taliban deal. everyone and hope that there was going to be a clear path to peace. why did it never happen? i think that before, i think the reason that we, we could not get to a speed that was required and took a result oriented negotiation was because in the door agreement to tell a one time it was clearly mentioned that my appeal to 2021 after the political settlement is agreed upon. the united states forces relieve, however,

when the elections in united says happen on the government assess, then you have ministration assistance policy, and then announced that they're going to withdraw unconditionally no matter what in a situation which only did there was a escalating violence in atlanta. some war was already active in many provinces. people in our army and security forces were extremely tired, not only of the war, but also the, the corruption. they were not paid for months. they have not had the chance to meet their family, visit their family for months. so all of that combination of all of that unfortunately, resulted to a situation where a military takeover was an option. how do you assess the quick taliban takeover? it took them about 10 days to take control of the country and the us troops were

still present, right, because nobody felt in many places, the police and army actually said under themselves to them. and in some other places, the security forces, flea without even tell about prisons in some of the places that i present. ton of them came a day or 2 days later, the security force of the country. i think because as i said, the connection. but also because moodily our troops were so connected and dependent to international forces, especially the us forces that when the united states forces fleet from mcgraw base, which was the main base of the u. s. and upon the sun the same day, i remember i wasn't, i had the same day, a lot of forces from my area politic, patrick a son that indicated how dependent they were trained. so that lack of mood on the dependency was the reason for corruption and lack of course leadership from the

cover because he was a president which was only centered to palace didn't know what's going on in the country, was not able to present a vision for, for our forces offered the country was not able to like be connected. and all of this i think to the valid up takeover of talking about there was a disconnect between the central government and cobble and the rest of the country . absolutely. of de la de la, the former chief executive officer of afghanistan insisted on the show back in july that the republic was going to prevail. now have you talked to him since the taliban takeover? yes, i was in cobble. we had the chance to meet a couple of times he wasn't cobble with some other politicians that are public will prevail in a way. i still insist in what he said, because i think over the past few years in atlanta,

some to the buildings have been the infrastructure as have been boat, etc. but one of the things that people do not report about is the transformation of generation. a generation that wants to live in harmony and peace in a prosperous and bitter life. in upon a son. they want to have a say in the future. the 1st they tell about came 2 days later, a small group of women came to the street protesting for asking for right now that's was a very small number, but compared to the fact that back in 2001 on 1909, this was impossible, that's a good indication of, you know, the transform generation. people will continue to appear on media. i'll do the obvious, were closed, but women still wanted to go to the office. i have seen many women who went to the offices, but they were closed. that is an indication of, you know, they do to people as power,

the people's participation and they're wanting to be heard and to be part of the political process. so this is a new generation. it is many say it's a new taliban as well. do you think the 2 will be able to coexist? that is no other way than quick distance. the country already has been in or for over 4 decades. most of us, unfortunately, are born in what i grew up in war. i'm probably will die, and this is not fair. it's a country full of natural resources. i was young population, so much resources. there's so many, you know, things that could contribute to a better world. so i think the only chance is quite existent, accepting the fact that we can have a political defensive, political difference should not be the reason to kill as a human being. on august 16th, president biden says that american troops cannot and should not be fighting a war and dying in a war that afghan forces are not willing to fight for themselves. what do you say

to that impressive to impressive? we are a nation that i have all the the and always talk for our lead problem. i've got a son is probably paid the highest price funding a gives these for an occupations. however, i guess you know, the in 2001, when do you know the us and other need to i can to, i've got a son no one enough going to set invited them. they came because their own security was at risk under lift because they thought their security is not anymore at risk. leaving a lot of putting a miserable situation that we are witnessing. people trying to queue and put themselves hung themselves into plain knowing that they will die. 100 person is an example of how this flip that, you know, the country is how miserable the situation of the people are. so they came because

they wanted to come, they left without consulting the people a couple of them. now, my fear would be, is that upon us on, once again is not used for another military. extreme is groat that will eventually pose a threat to the walls. security, i hope not, but from what i see going, trip, you know, lack of rule of law lawlessness. all this chaotic situation only the paved the way for the growth of another minute chicks to use groups. we know that i said, for instance, already committed to attacks at the airport very close to american forces. what were your message to president? bite him, be to prison by then? i guess everyone, all the politicians, they try to prioritize your own people. that's right. he did prioritize what he taught, his version of america 1st was an american interest 1st. but i think by

abundance of on a son, the real trip that the u. s. security and national security could be at risk sooner or later is there. so my message would be they should continue to work with people up, up on the sun. they should continue to support the people of some because it is not only about us, it's about us and the world culture host that the interest can talk. so says taliban officials at the requests of the us and has played an active role in helping over $40000.00 afghans leave the country. how do you see the role there has played in afghanistan in recent years? could have been increasingly engaged in, in the region of politics. i guess the fact that now they have been hard for him to go station for a year. and now the difficult times, the whole thing, a lot of guns whose life are at risk if they stay home is an indication of the

fact that they want to be relevant. and i think, you know. 2 going forward, i think they will even play more important role and there is a room for them to play more important role in the construction. i would say are development of humanitarian aid to people up up on a sun. now i don't know, what will the future government look like and know what i get to the stage knows what ideal situation would be if we have a government which is broad base, which is inclusive for your preventative of the you know, the people up on a thunder transformed innovation of on a sun on the basis of the democracy, the basis of people's choice. and if we have such a government, i think the country a government and the people do will be more relevant because then we will have a stronger partnership in terms of, you know, using each other's connectivity for each other interests, et cetera. but i,

we are, there are some risks, real risk the probably tunnel but will not be willing to accept, click this, send some power sharing. i didn't meant in a way that it is truly the preventative and meaningful participation of the rest of community including women. and that's a case, i think kind of the complain, important role in using a leverage to push that i thought about for a continued reform and your policies and listening to the people, especially with a woman. well, let's now talk about women. as you mentioned that about you, of course, in your life's work into your 2012 memoir, the favorite daughter, you talk about the hardship of being a woman and scan a son, and you describe how your parents rejected you because of your gender and how the day you were born, you were left out to die in the sun. you survived and became afghanistan's 1st female deputy speaker of parliament. what kept you going? what was your motivation? the fact that i have suffered so much as a woman, a my mother suffer. so much of

a woman and i have fit a pretty woman, the cutting, the burden of what's going on in the country kept me moving forward. what i have seen during the time, the 1st from the taliban in power gave me the reason to come to politics. although my father was a member to follow me. but this was not what i wanted to be. but what i have gone to, as a woman, gave me the reason to change things for others. because i know that it's actually the woman who, who always have to pay the highest price. it's the woman and the goes. if it's was they have to lose the life loved ones. if it is these lose the opportunities, it's always the woman that have to pay the 1st. i have just, you know, been in contact have many women who are this hopeless the, they don't know what will happen to them. most of them were dependent on salary. they were the bread winner of this comment is the last that

a lot of them actually are intensified situation hiding. why? why should the woman on the pay all of this circumstances i'm situation is heartbreaking. i think the world should wake up. why should we always pay for everything that goes wrong in that country? there's some people who believe that telephones roll this time around will be difference. and in fact, there are some who believe that the telephone should be given a chance. what's your take? will they need to prove that they are different? i have discussed with some of the leadership in here and couple. they say yes, gave us time, we will be different. but when it comes to this port, soldiers all commanders on the 2nd layers of the tunnel and they do the same thing that they were doing 20 years back in the provinces for incense, in the heat of the summer. when to capture some of the provinces, they ask women young students goes to where can we have trucks?

can you imagine if that's in that he is. if a woman is what look and plus work is not slummy, it's a, it's not just a job, it's more than a hit job. or for instance, in many places they keep saying that girls can go to or any woman cannot go out without a male company. and i think they have to, the leadership really has to do an important homework and making sure, 1st of all, that whatever genetic statements i prefer is they have and policy papers, the foot soldiers from top to the ground respect. so it doesn't become just a media statement, but actually a practice in underground to the taliban that you've been in contact with. have any plans or ideas about how to include women in their government. well, that's what we hope. we hope that they, they should not, and they cannot ignore the 55 percent of the population, which a woman economically it's not something that they can,

they can take the risk or they should take the risk. but in the meantime, i think what i'm hearing the only the kind of such a dividing the cabin administrator position because they thing women are not for that. these are positions that are, that women do not qualify. probably lower level of women or you know, some of her 7. i think if women are not in the power structure, if they're not in the decision making in the leadership, how can they, how can you make policies that are friendly for women? how can you make in vitamin friends for women? so i think it has to start from leadership. it has to start from top. plus, i must say that the past 20 years woman have. i'm so proud of them because they have really proven that they're the most hard working, talented population of the country. they have grabbed any opportunity that was this for them. if you cation,

despite the difficult circumstances. if you give them little trouble, they will use it. and so therefore, i think it's not only for political reason for economic social money, other reasons, the woman should be part of a meaningful decision making process. when you became a prominent figure in afghanistan, political stage, your name was floating around and discussions whether sound was ready for 1st female president is all hope loss. no, i still believe that. so we have to give up on the chance and we have to give us some that chance. i'm sure that a lot of them will be so different if if a woman presented, it's not the 1st time in any muslim country that women are in the leadership. if you look at the neighboring country parker sunday, the 1st prime minister in the muslim world, i guess money muslim countries have women leaders. why do some of these main thing that only by addressing woman that there are 2 muslim? it's strong. we want to have a slummy,

right. what did islamic principles we want to, you know, go and survive. an impala you left afghanistan voluntarily. why did you not stay? i don't think it was any more choice or val entity. i think it was a much, whereas one could be more efficient to be able to serve others. yes, i wanted to stay and i stayed almost for more than 2 weeks. couple. but i, at some point have lies that it's not going to be any more efficient because if we disconnect with the world, how can i have other woman? so the reason i want you to get out was to be able to connect with the rest of the world and how and see how we can support other women. the ones that are thinking up out of some 35000000 population. and the ones that needs to be transferred to a safe place, angela on a safe again. so all of that will have not been able to achieve. if i was only the

corner of my house, i'm going back. that's for sure. i'm not somebody who will live abroad or say abroad or enjoy life abroad. my heart is turned into pieces. all of the pieces are in the province of hop on a son. when do you think you go back? as soon as i have the opportunity you were under house arrest before you left? yes. can you explain to us what were the circumstances around that? how did that come about? what were they afraid of the taliban? what i don't know, what would be afraid of? probably some, some of them told me that because as a result of the quick take over 30000 prisoners among them, some criminals are also released. so we are worried about the security. but in the meantime, i know that they were dead for controlling. so it was a catholic situation, there was no government, a report of couple was controlled by somebody. so many people were advising me

that my friends and family that until the time things a little bit settled down better to be in a place which you could survive and then come back. i'll go. it was a very, very difficult choice for me. was hard to make that decision, but i'll take it as if i'm here for a very short period of time at the taliban, of course are going to face many challenges. and one of them is the new generation of afghans and already mentioned who are not used to living under their rule. what do you think is going to happen moving forward if the thought of and try to impose what they want in terms of pressing people, depriving them from the liberties limiting the liberties, including a woman. i think they will face opposition. i think they will face williams. i think people, what is this? what's your message to the ask damn people, and those both who have fled the country and those who remain, especially to women for those who have from the country,

i'm sure they will come back from you know, the love and affection that i have seen including the time that, i mean everyone is even not able to believe that they are not anymore the country. they're homeless. i would say, tons of cuts are government because they have given already the, the feeling of being home to those who are in upon a son. i can do will continue to be relevant my message to the most be relevant to the future in your hands. i will join your vehicle fees for afghan deputy seeker of parliament. thank you. and how can i use use

as morocco wrestles with the impact of cobit 19? the country will help parliament reelections that will shape its feature. but how will unemployment a struggling health care system and a new election law? i think the focus on september, the special coverage of the morocco parliamentary elections are now just take the worst possible material uranium grind it into dust comparable to flour and make a whole lot of it and put it into the face with people live. often bad idea for many people, this is a silent killer. what does it make you feel like you feel like a murder? we have created an enormous little mental disaster and investigation. south africa, toxic city on al jazeera. did you know you can watch the english streaming light

on? i do 2 channels plus thousands of our programs award winning documentaries. and do get to choose to scribe to you choose dot com forward slash al jazeera english. ah. hello, i'm marianne. no mossey and london look at our main stories. now, a qu appears to be on the way in guinea video has been released showing as an african days, surrounded by special forces pass. and now the african union, the un of condemned to take over and call for days immediate release was i wanted to see about today. we have decided to dissolve the constitution because we will write a constitution together all of guinea feel.
