ah ah hi, uh for me. okay, it is a on the stream, the afghans reflect on the 1st anniversary of the taliban regaining power. how have people's life changed in afghanistan? that is the question that we were discussing with our panel. you can be part of that discussion as well. join is right here in the comment section of youtube. we start our discussion with samira raman. afghanistan is facing crisis after crisis. we have rising hunger crumbling public services outbreaks,

the devastating earthquake just months ago. we have increased restrictions on women and girls. and now just this week, we've had 10 provinces that have been affected by flash flooding, destroying homes, farms, and livelihoods. all of this comes at a time when the economy is crippled. people are struggling, people have no jobs, no money, and increasingly no food. and are absolutely drowning in debt. that is one perspective on the policy in afghanistan, you about to hear 3 more from sir hale pash, donna, an alley, welcome or 3 of you to the stream. so he'll welcome to the student. please introduce yourself, dr. global audience. get to have you it. my name is too much for hill. shaheen. i needed to get in today for the 22. 04. based on the committee, took up new sunday night to patient and had him p. m. a working

as he got a little bit of this in the past. donna good to have you back on the screen, please remind our audience who you are and what you do overseas. no, thank you for having me made especially dirani. i am the executive director of learning warmerston. and currently i'm a visiting fellow actually women's interact rosalee college. and al, please say hello to our audience around the world. i am only lucky for you. i'm out there as correspondent and cole. i am going to start yes, with a exclusive clip of what happened in the presidential palace, the in afghanistan, all as a year to to day. let's have a listen. let's have a look. what you are looking at right now? is taliban fighters? who's in the sides, the presidential powers. so the sincere these pictures exclusive on al jazeera

taliban fighters, placing their guns on the desk, sitting behind the desk of we assume that is the desk of glue, the afghan at presidents, a fairly stunning turnarounds, or prevents ali. what do you remember from that day about that day? i mean it is that the day that our entire world changed within a few hours, i remember that. late in the morning, there was the sound of gunshots near where i live, and everyone thought that the taller bond were coming that. and everyone was running like it was a disaster movie. you know, everyone was just trying to get back to their homes and then, you know, people basically shut themselves in their houses for the rest of the day. and then

all of a sudden came the news that the former president just ran away. he just fled and he took his, you know, high level cabinet officials as advisors, whatnot with him, most of whom had foreign passports. you know, there was no message. there was nothing for 11 days as the taller bottom was taking province after province after providence. no one from the form of government bother to give any kind of a statement. no one said were sorry, no one said we failed. no one said, we're trying to gain these provinces back. and then all of a sudden, you know, probably kind of 11 o'clock at night, you turn on the news and there's the taller bon in the presidential. so here when you see those pictures, what are you thinking? what are you feeling with is an incredible sense of triumph and victory for the taliban? yes, it was indeed. it goes. that is that order. 20 years

sacrifices i was trying to over liberation a country from the patient. so this was our legitimate right. and we have the right to have independence to live in an independent country. it's what we're about to struggle for liberation for country. and we gave it after plenty to decays almost 20 years and a lot of losses and sacrifices and equipment and sold both of me women and children, elder lease apartments. i'm wondering why no later in retrospect is fighting 11 governing well,

that that was a different in this we were struggling for liberation abroad country. now we are struggling already better rebuilding our country thought, maintaining pace instability in the country. this is also a straddle for us, and we are still facing harder to come together, stride from from a though most county water, what you typically would do 8 it. so we will succeed. and we have succeeded in this one year. the mega project of which they pay on the completion of this project, we well brain and then irrigation. 3000000 acres of land. and i why the stand will become or cassock reliant in terms of food that has not been done in 20

years. while we are bringing it with him to him's, when we bring it up, either example, the character day we bring in a game or voice, a good that. so here let me bring in a female voice is to share the conversation. this is, are a tab nori, a passionate. i want you to have a listen to her tap and then bounce off the back of him because for tab, this one year has been a horrible anniversary. i'm interested in your perspective, but his tap festival. 15 to august 2021 was the worst day in my life. it was a loss of everything, a diverse of every single. again, we heard in past 2 decades and it took away my country from me. it uprooted me and it took her in my family and now we are dispersed around the world. and i don't think the life is going to be the same ever. and it's really difficult to go

back to afghanistan and live there as a journalist and be free to work. and my profession well, allow me to start by collecting the fact that we didn't have games because the westerners were in our country for the past year. the kids we had rights, we before that we had rights in the sixty's in the twenty's and including up until the eighty's. and then people to go or that's the 1st thing we had in the 1960 s a women's health minister. i'm then in the meantime pretty, we had an education minister, we had women representatives, we had the women in school in the past century. these are all games. and the west has never helped us get those games. we went back and got them by ourselves, and our women got them for ourselves. those are the 1st thing that we need to understand. women have been enough on the science leadership in the ancient upon us on starting from go and shot up until soraya and then even in the main t, 60 would minister nor say,

now let's come back to winning the country. i do find it interesting when we say, when the taliban said that the country has been won out from the occupation, do you think it's not any comic occupation that the countries have struggling as a matter i said that the people are still under debt, that people are still struggling to find a loaf of bread. don't you think best also occupation? don't we think that country still being drone that has also occupation on the fact that the book and not enter and leave. and most importantly, that the color when government has to ask the theme superpowers who kept on, asked el, kept on bumping them for money that they need. and they keep on asking for legitimacy . so when you're free, you're mean you make your own decisions when you're not for you make the decision than the past governments did. and the current taliban do under someone else's name and read or hear me to share this with ally. this is abdul co ha balcony. he is

a spokesperson for the islamic emerett of afghanistan. and these are the gains in the past year for sovereignty. establish central government, political stability, and security, corruption is placement. amherst inclusiveness are fully independent budget increase access to education and health care. i know that you spend time in afghanistan reporting. can you check any of these and say yes, i've seen this, i've seen this, i've seen this, i mean, i live in avalon. so fully independent budget, i don't know where that comes from because you're still under sanctions. and you know, what we have to remember is that, yes, these governments want to punish the taller bond government who they don't like whether the people want to like them or not. that's a separate issue. but the foreign governments don't like them. but unfortunately, what's happening is it's not mr. shaheen. it's not mr. about he's not these people who are suffering under the sanction. it's the average people of this country. i

live in a central part of the city every single day, 5 minutes for my house. there's 2 food distribution sites. there's at least a 100 people outside each time. these are not the poor beckers, these are not the rural villagers who unfortunately have always been hungry in this country. they're hungry now they're unemployed. now they're underpaid. now, you know, i've talked to go government workers were sitting at home, male and female in law guide, and couple who say that their wages have been reduced by 7080. and yet, you know, their costs have skyrocketed because the costs of food have doubled and tripled recently. so, you know, fully financially independent that makes no sense. there is no proof of that. i mean, i hope that they can become financially independent and i want nothing more than not for i want to finally become financially independent. that's pushed on. i said, you know, we have to remember that, you know, this occupation was never set up to make. it was never set up to help us. and it

was never setup to, to make us self sufficient for 20 years. they make it as a dependent. and now they're making as a dependent again, by constantly sending money and distributions and so on and so forth that the united nations control, the government doesn't control it. so no, i'm sorry, like this, this financially. fully financially independent. i have no idea where that comes from that not the lives of the avalon people. so he'll audience on youtube are asking questions and they really like the idea that they have access to you into your information. they are asking about an economic plan for afghanistan. what is that kind of a plan? forced our budget to retrieve assumed it. it was b, 2 based oh, into another when use. it is, it is the 1st time we presented a budget without any help i none shall help from any country but the fella

charts and i want a one. it one. we are located about 28000000000 up on his father, big lemon. oh projects. so this is, this is i tuning oh. similarly, we come short and long term glance, development flung reconstruction, cream, and up long auto hub. wine is down to be self reliant to little kind of things into your can i help? listen. i hear the fast and anita 2nd. so how come of when and how can of understand become self reliant without having to 60 percent of the population working? and what do you mean by development? it's not something that i would want to explore in the long run, but i really need to understand how the talib, i'm see development,

that will be birth. the 2nd, when to women are tune when they're not allowed to work or study. how do you see them on a some will become self reliant when we have to ask pakistan on it on for doctors that's done to asking buxton in it and realtor of that to say acquisition of the open interview hudson, unheard of this part of the land called glass on a truck, fine to a quantity of giving me time. and i will, it's me. yes, we have a i, as i mentioned the question about project it is i step in the direction i do become self aligned. i say, how can i push you a little bit very weird because we have a we have to move on to that stuff from the past on a austin, which i thought was very relevant because you talked about that project, my understand what you're saying. but passionately was very specific about how can

i've got some new 4050 percent of the population. a women are not able to freely walk. yes, they. she doesn't reflect the ground realities because the it is there about her for her 100450000 students, both male and female studying prior to in public universities. she didn't mention that is, oh yeah, yeah. let me. yes. yeah, roger, the conversation with alan? yeah, thank you. to heal, everyone wants to tell you what you're the man at the moment. alley. go ahead. what did you want to ask? we keep talking about reconstruction, rebuilding. why do we need to reconstruct what, what happened that we need to reconstruct? how did, how did it get deconstructed?

well, we can still, we have started go construction, does a sad derrick your game? it was a 50. as my question, as we're talking about reconstruction and rebuilding, how did things get he constructed, how did they get destroyed that they need to be reconstructed now? but my question, yes, that was destroyed by the bombardment or by the heavier ones or of the cobbled g as in readers. because we didn't harbor here we plan. so we have a collection quote in really like refund. so we were not able to put a store that, that we had that, but now we are building it. all right, and we would have a notice with what we have. we will bid. we have started the building and work on the front and the hard it out will begin that

avery line, the problem was with spawn to sort of a attraction. i have already begun a work. thank you, allie. i'm going to push on because our audience also wants us to move on, because they're asking for development award and the weight forward and the future with afghanistan. i'm going to go to that line of thinking via heather ball, who is calling on the international community for more help. his heather. the last year has been a complete disaster for human rights in afghanistan. women and girls have seen pretty much all of their rights stripped away, and that's in all there's also been extra judicial killings, torture silencing of the afghan media to we're asking, what is the international community going to do about this?

and the answer so far seems to be not much, but there are a few things the international community can do and should do the human rights council when it convenes in september, should put in place a much stronger mechanism to monitor, collect evidence, and facilitate prosecutions. for crimes happening and the security council she and exemptions to the travel band that they have in place for taliban leaders. i shall . i'm just thinking about this past year full afghanistan and the international community on the sidelines. how do you see that impact to what could be possible and being a starting with the fact that the international community still thinks that using last century sanctions arm occurred and countries crisis is something that we should be doing. and that's something that will find a solution. i don't think right now um the current sanctions help any one. but the western countries to keep the aid to themselves that has allocated up on us that

the country right now is suffering and it, the sanctions don't, don't have a fun, it's done. it actually more em makes it worse for the people who are actually already hungry. already or something great. now coming back to one thing that i really want to highlight when you talk about development, when you talk about progress. here's the thing in the next 5 years, the population of up of my son continues to grew. and when you say that you have 400 cars, i'm students, and schools and universities. i am asking a specific question from green. so an up until 312, if you don't have a girl graduating from grade 12, within this academic year, you won't have a midway within the next 2 years and the population continues to grow. so when your population continues to grow, you don't have that specific number of midwife in a country that is working like upon us that you don't progress. you don't develop, you need to build the capacity of your students who are in high school, who need to continue who need to graduate from high school and start continuing and

getting educated. that was my question. thank you. yeah, i did. you didn't mention that prior to high schools all in the country, they are open for reverse or secondary. wow. in this order, the why or why did there is no restriction. and then why you did and mentioned that these are, you are hiding. a grant is while you are hiding the sick with a are going around in circles, pastrana. i'm not sure you're going to get an answer. you should interrupt me because i'm not interrupting been visual. no, i understand. i'm not interrupting you. i'm. i'm moving. i was moving our question,

i'm moving our plug on. we haven't, we haven't been traveling about one is done yet. of the secretary's full lot open. why? she didn't mention that. alright, so he'll patch donna, we are moving on. thank you so much about what has not happened in afghanistan is in our conversation right now, but i'm gonna move on to what has happened. there is a province called banyon province. i'm ali, can you tell us a little bit about it before i i bring in a report that you did about tourism potentially flourishing there. because this is perhaps how some of the economy for afghanistan can be reinvigorated. it may be showing that there is a little bit more security around as well. if people are going on visits going on, trips, maybe even going on vacation. and he tell us about banyan province in just a minute. and then i will go to your report. sure. it's not just for me on it,

many different provinces, you know, for 20 years the roads were unsafe because of checkpoints and land mines and cross fire and things like that. so people weren't able to travel freely. like just 2 days ago, i went to log out of province 1st story with no worries. at one point, it was one of the most dangerous provinces in the country. and you know, we have to give credit. this is one of the positive development, of course, part of the development is that the war is no longer going on. the checkpoints are no longer there and the risk of landmines are no longer there. yeah, but you know, this is something that gives people a sense of hope. seeing families travel, seeing them be able to see their country for one. i love this report. i really love this report because i saw the blue skies. walter is having a great time. he's a little bit of allie's report and it's the scene for me. i've got a son that we don't see often enough. take a look. this is what some of the piece insecurity looks like. and i want to start thousands of families coming from all over the country to enjoy the wonders of the

national part. but the big question now is how will all of this impact the economy of balmy on a province that was ignored for more than 20 years? by the former government i am wondering guessed if sanctions and sanctions on of gallus don is the one wait that he's stopping afghanistan for moving forward. i know you are going to have different perspectives, but i'm just going to get you to i'm going to give you one minute each to wrap up the show. alley, is it, is it the sanctions that stopping afghanistan from developing? if the biggest issue well her for the up on people that the biggest issue for them right now is that they have no money. you know, like people who work in the government including women have had their wages reduced because of the government doesn't have money. a cannot pay people, you know, we lived in a country worth of her 20 years. 75 percent of the public expenditure came from the

foreign aid grants. and then all of a sudden they cut them off. and what did they do? they left the people hungry even if the total about government don't want to do things for the people, it's going to be difficult. why let me just share the final thoughts with patch donna as well patched on into sentences. go ahead. i think since she's doing her country, but also probably been have to make sure that the i'm sure rights and safety to all the population of pharma and in the mean time sections don't tell, i think sanctions should be left under patch donna. so here you get the last word. thank you for being a robust conversation. sanchez? yes it is. yes. it's their practice. the challenge is, sanctions renting what was done from development and preventing people wow, i'm not, i'm alive. how job opportunities? all right. this will, they should reconsider. thank you. so here we have to get you back. you've been so popular with our online audience. they have so many questions for you that we have to get you back for another episode of the stream, but for now. so he'll patch donna and ali,

thank you so much for being part of today's show. let me show you here on my laptop where you can follow them on twitter. so he'll ash donna and ali, and so watching everybody see you next time. ah ah ah.
