parties down to the there are fewer regulation to own a tiger than their our own a dog. how can this be happening? your weekly take on us politics and and that's the bottom line with the vehicle feet 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 afghan ascend,

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 u. s. withdrawal coffee left the country and is now hosted in car, but it's her fight for the rights of african women. over afghanistan's former deputy speaker of parliament vehicle feet talks to al jazeera ah vehicle, the former deputy speaker of parliament. thank you for talking to 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 in the 1990 s. and of course, the us invasion of 2001. you have personally witness all these changes. now the us troops are gone. the democratically elected president, a sheriff, connie flood,

the country, and the taliban has taken over once again. what is your assessment? unfortunately, what has happened lately in 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 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 sub to see everything collapse. so rapidly i think was was something that was terrifying for most of the people in upon the front. i think a lot of mistakes by international community, enough kind of sundays as to where we are. i would firstly, you know,

put the blame on international community, especially the united states because they were the one who actually favor the president shop honey in 2014. he did the window election. it was his, you know, the other type. he was the winner, but they, in a political agreement, they gave him the election. he was favors in the 1st 5 years. this was one of the most corrupt government power centric. and 20192020 again, did the elections and he was elected president would very, very low percentage of voters that indicated that he is not popular, but the world continue to support him. and i think, you know, lack of vision, lack of leadership, corruption, all of that result in club of the 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, you know, facing the real trip the color. but we're not in cobble. there was talks that there will be a political the often to establish an interior set up 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 did now. 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 root. and upon a son, he came with a back and i have, i was listening to my speeches 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 left, atlanta, son, and miserable situation where the bugs 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 tony to negotiation an engagement that we could present a different. i've got a son that parliament should adopt. i was because i'm in the state and not the government. this was a team that was diverted many ways or preventing different groups and political community off up 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 state off . i've gotten a son that already put ton about in a victorious mold unofficially off the, you know, the us president announcement that he will withdraw without any condition which was in contradiction to what the agreement said. they had him into taliban and the united states that put tolerable in a position that they did not see the need for negotiation. following the u. s. taliban deal, everyone had hope that there was going to be a clear path to peace. why did it never happen? i stated before, i think the reason that we, we could not get to a speed that was required and took result oriented negotiation was because in the door agreement to taliban time, it was clearly mentioned that by 2021 after the political settlement is agreed upon

the united nation states forces relieve however, when the elections in united says happen on the government assess, then you have ministration, assess it's policy, and announced that they're going to withdraw unconditionally know much worked 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 as a 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 for to see the country. i think because as i said before production 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,

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 or for the country was not able to like be connected. and all of this i think, to the valued up takeover of taliban, 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 a couple. 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 built, it cetera. 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 with a very small number, but compared to the fact that back in 2001, 999. 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 close, 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 there to will be able to coexist? that is no other way than quick distance. the country already has been in war for over 4 decades. most of us, unfortunately, are born and what i grew up in war, i'm probably will die and this is not true. it's a country ton of natural resources on what 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 exist sometime accepting the fact that we can have a political defensive. political difference should not be the reason to kill other human being. on august 16th, president biden says that american troops cannot and should not be fighting in a war and dying in a war that afghan forces are not willing to fight for themselves. what do you say

to that impressive, too impressive? we are a nation that i have all the the and always talk for our legacy and $1220.00 i've got a son is probably paid the highest price funding again, these 4 occupations. however, i guess, you know, the in 2001, when do you know the us and other nato allies came to i've got a son? no one enough going to say invited them. they came because their own security was at risk. and then left, because they thought their security is not anymore at risk, leaving a lot of 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, that the country is and how miserable the situation of the people are. so they can

because they wanted to come, they left without consulting the people. so 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 wall security. i hope not. but from what i see going, trip, you know, lack of rule of law lawlessness. all this chaotic situation already paved the way for the growth of another minute chicks to use groups. we know that i so for instance, already committed to attacks at the airport, very close to american forces. what were your message to president, bite him, be to present by then? i guess everyone, all the politicians, they try to prioritize their 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 upon a son, the real trip that the u. s. security. a 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 a some they should continue to support the people of a lot of them because it is not only about us, it's about us and the world. because our hope that the interest can talk sources taliban officials at the requests of the u. s. and has played an active role in helping over 40000 and afghans leave the country. how do you see the role color has played in afghanistan in recent years? because i have been increasingly engaged in the region of politics. i guess the fact that now they have been hostile, plenty goshen for a year. and now the difficult times, they are hosting a lot of guns whose life are addressed. if they stay home is an indication of the

fact that they want to be relevant and i think, you know, 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 to the people of upon a son. 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 of, on a thunder transformed innovation up up 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 his people will be more relevant because then we will have a stronger partnership in terms of, you know, using each other's a connectivity for each others. interested but i, we are,

there are some risks, real risk. the probably ton of us will not be willing to accept coexistence and power sharing. i didn't meant in a way that it is truly the preventative and meaningful participation of the rest of the community, including women. and that's a case, i think kind of the complaint important role in using a leverage to push out i thought about for the continued reform and your policies and listening to the people, especially to the 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 i scanned 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. my mother suffered so much as

a woman, and i have fit every woman that carried the burden of what's going on in the country kept me moving forward. what i have seen during the time, the 1st of 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 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 the lose the opportunities, it's always the woman does have to pay the 1st and i have just, you know, been in contact have many women who are this, but it's hopeless. they don't know what will happen to them. most of their 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 are some people who believe that telephones rule this time around will be different. and in fact, there are some who believe that the taliban 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 of the 2nd layers of the taliban, they do the same thing that they were doing 20 years back in the provinces. for instance, 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 that heat is if a woman who's willing look and plus book is not a 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 goes, cannot 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 general statements and preserve is they have and policy papers, the foot soldiers from top to the ground respect. so it doesn't become just immediate a statement, but actually 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 are women. 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 from what i'm hearing, they already kind of started dividing the coven administrator position. because waiting woman or not for that. these are positions that are, that women do not qualify. probably lower level of women, or 7 or 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 suddenly for women? how can you make in vitamin friends for women? so i think it has to start from leadership has to start from top. plus, i must say that the past 20 years, women 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 there for them each occasion,

despite the difficult circumstances. if you give them little chance they will use it. and so that's what i think it's not only for political reasons for economic social money. other reasons that 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 sam was ready for 1st female president is all whole loss. no, i still believe that. so we have to give up on the chance and we have to give us some best chance. i'm sure that a lot of some 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, parkerson, they have 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 pressing woman that they are to muslim? it's strong. we want to have a slummy, right?

we didn't 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 related to the 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 a realize 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 are those things up front of some 35000000 population. and the ones that need to be transferred to a safe place until i promised 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? well i don't know. what were they 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're 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 cabal was controlled by somebody. so many people were advising me

that my friends and family 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 putting people, depriving them from the liberties limiting the liberties, including on 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 than the country. they're homeless. i would say, tons of the country 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 mess be relevant to the future in your hands. i will join your vehicle fees for afghan deputy speaker of parliament. thank you. i the news
