8:38 pm
ah, let's bring in august. so how does a psycho social counsellor i've in the region afghanistan, committee, and away the lopper here, founder of the letter of gun goes, learn campaign, welcome to the program. so ha, give us a sense of what this means for women and female students in the half party. yeah, because i study of car will come to hot on the across afghanistan. now of course i tell yesterday there was somehow some hopes and heart of each girl and women enough janice done. but unfortunately, after the day, i mean yesterday when they issued that you cannot go to courses, universities, mantresa. so they feel like it's in don't to work for them because when you cannot
8:39 pm
go outside with you and you cannot go, do you get yourself if you do not have any kind of freedom? so obviously they have their worst ever feeling and their lives. i mean we oh, by the law the, the taliban says they took over 6 is 16 months ago. they've been saying that they will definitely look forward to guarantee survives for this particular when it comes to education. now they're back tracking on every single commitment they made . why do you think it happened? i sometimes feel like they have this bucket list of all the promises they need to break and there is a high that they achieve every time they break a promise or, i mean people were desperately trying to believe that this wasn't the thought upon of the ninety's he have to understand some of the things that they're doing are worse than what they did in the ninety's. and the fact that it's been a campaign of misleading the population. they got girls to give the year 12 exams
8:40 pm
just 2 weeks ago, giving them the false hope that maybe universities were see if maybe high schools are going to open soon. and then we have a directive about the universities today. we have a directive from the ministry of education stating that every provinces to ensure that girls are not allowed in schools beyond grade 6. this is for private institute for public institutes for institutions that are even teaching languages or courses . so it looks like the pilot bottom really want to implement the span and they're leaving us no room to go with alternatives. there were alternatives of hidden schools or there were alternatives of online schooling. but with this crackdown with how they've today actually written into schools to make sure that no were there and just shows that it's getting worse. about few months ago. so had i was in afghanistan and have been to some of those schools, particularly in missouri,
8:41 pm
city of and cobbled, i've met some of the female suitors, absolutely smart, passionate looking forward to continue their studies, one of them. so remember, she told me she wants to become a national and she wants to go to the united states of america for her past graduate studies. now with this decision, is there any backup plan for them or can n g o step in to provide them with some sort of an alternative education? otherwise, it's just going to be a massive disaster for them away to allow us to sit there after this decision. did they have made them close all courses. all home schools are mother us, us. so it's like that. now we do not have any alternative. oh, except the cbc classes. it's eunice, her and she to unison. but i'm not sure that even those will be able to be open. of course, sir, before that to me have option to teach girl at our homes or online or some other
8:42 pm
places. but at this moment, it's almost 48 hours and that they have announced this decision. and in this 48 hours, i have received more than 50 calls from my students and derek in italy asking, what should we do? we are not allowed to do anything at all. so are we going to stay at home? are we going to get to mary and just raise a child? is this our future? and obviously where this condition and if they are not going to change and if they are having the same issue or issues with girls education. so i suppose that is gonna be a very tough time, not just for women, but for all have gums on all of this lee. it consequences will not to be the same. dutch did think so. okay, are away the law is sit an indication though we have a divide, whether the taliban leadership somehow ought in favor of those who are not in favor
8:43 pm
. the so called reformers and the old school or is it because we know that the taliban come from the predominantly bastion areas basically in the south, what people are reluctant to son that goes to school where people are very conservative and they want to implement, implement that tradition across the country, you have to remember that bacteria, which is the 1st one province, was the 1st province stage demonstrations against the decision to close down scores . so i think that this is a misplaced generalization to think that a stools in general are not in favor of education. the argument off the bond being 2 flags or 2 sides on education. i mean, even if they are what different has that made? there were months. busy before we reach this university baton and less conservative or pro education part about had all the time in the world and all the political
8:44 pm
power to do something about it. yet they weren't passive. they meant to happen. know that the degree for closing down universities isn't an individual department, it's not an individual ministry. it was signed and cleared by the cabinet. the cabinet that includes these moderates as well. so somehow we've been failed by everyone. even the bulls who promised us that you cation, even those whose daughters till date what to universities and schools around the world. yet they said in the cabinet, and they sign on a document that says of one girls don't deserve to go to university. if it's not hypocrisy, i don't know what is so hot. i mean, if you look at the past few months when the taliban miss those decisions about a female scissors access to school that embossed when 222, the 7 girls were bad from schools. and then in may the supremely that hey, but the law, honda said that it's about time for women to stay at home. that particular
8:45 pm
announcement by the taliban. do you think it is just going to be the policy of the doctrine of the time bound for as long as it takes in afghanistan? actually until he turned off march, when day stopped, girls from going to school did not tell us. it did not give any issue, did you? and you shouldn't be coming to school. but when girls went there, they were told to go back home. so simply, it means they want to traumatize all she mo afghans. this is dear, only the only reason they are doing it else. why are they always giving us hope? but then day break. it did tell us that ok, come to school, come to university, then suddenly debt is not is lost. and of course, as you said, don't humans have go when he said that woman, she had to be a staying at home. of course, if woman is not educated, if women are not allowed to be educated, we are going to have
8:46 pm
a very dark afghanistan. maybe we will experience a day that there wouldn't be any educated woman there. what will not be it, not to be even one woman was educated and i've got a son and most of my friends and my student since yesterday. they are planning how to leave that garrison, so it's like that even if we had weren't some female who wanted to stay. now, dear decision has changed. okay. they want to leave because they do not have any other option. any other alternative? i see appoint the muslim world, is expressing deep disappointment over the tile of as order sided ravia, turkey of kata that played a major role in mediating between the taliban and the u. s. are calling on cabal to reverse the decision. washington is threatening to take tougher action against the taliban leaders. the taliban should expect that decision which is in
8:47 pm
contravention to the commitments they have made repeatedly and publicly to their own people will carry cos will carry concrete costs for them. they have seriously actually even fatal undermined one of their deepest ambitions and other areas where they see progress. and that is an improvement at that are men of relations with united states and the rest of the world are way the law. this is what is battling many people who are watching the events unfold enough canister. on one hand, the taliban made it clear that the desperate for international recognition to the looking forward to see financial aid trickle in into the country. and some of the assets which were, which are frozen in the u. s. central burke bank to be sent back to afghanistan. but that will definitely depend on whether the afghan got the taliban are willing to install some major reforms. they are giving the world indication today that they
8:48 pm
are not willing to make any reforms. what kind of impact do you think this will have on the taliban? and on the i've got people. the thought been through there, 20 years of insurgency had become a fluid insurgency. which is a new sci fi to subgroups that are working under one banner and for one goal, you would expect them to have transformed and gotten over that phase in the past one and a half years of governance. however, it appears that the hand is not talking to the mouse, not part of the system is talking to the other. and every system takes the decisions it needs to take with stamping from the emitter himself. which is why those who are making the promises a aren't making the decision to be, are passive and don't take a stand on decisions that heard up on a bun. busy know that we spent months arguing over the federal reserve is trying to find a mechanism for it to be released. and now that conversation is going to be pause.
8:49 pm
we spend month arguing with donors that development aid that emergency was not enough. that conversation is not going to be pause, we spend months asking the. busy world to do need more and do more buy a lot of that conversation's going shop and then the engagement with the buyer who stop. i mean, i do understand the argument where people are thing. ok. sanction them hurts them by how do you heard of toggle button without hurting 35000000 uploads? is there anything tool kit that specifically target target bud? because everything you do is going to have very large implications, very bad implications on the worst humanitarian crisis that is already existed in the one spot. so how the brave woman who took to the streets in august chanting bread, work and freedom, what, what's next for them? do you think that the can still rely on the streets to be able to hope that one day they will be able to bring about some change ah hahn asleep speaking today?
8:50 pm
when i, when i saw a woman who is selling vinnish dribbles, and if she stole that, you have to stay home for husband is dead. she doesn't have a thumb on there. what will be her future will well bring bridge for her and off course. currently, it is above 20000000 afghans who are having hunger crisis. so brit then what will be the next year for us? it's like we are having more hungry issues and less the girls who are coming to homeless schools when we were having sessions with them. individuals, tech, social sessions, most of them had suicidal, stopped even. i have a student, she's only 13 years old. and once she wanted to come at the side along with her mother and the reason was that did it all have enough bread to eat? she said it was easier to di, didn't to die from hunger. so britain,
8:51 pm
if it continues didn't, the situation is getting worse and worse, and finally. yeah, well it, they come to it every and well as on the kids. because when you do not have anything to eat, when you do not have a future, when you could not get into geisha everything is but, and you saw the basic human needs. freedom is one of them on survivors, another one. so if what is taken from you, what will you do with the law do do do the feel of this particular moment that we have been somehow betrayed by the weld. i mean that we need to give up this, this, this thinking process of always expecting the international community to swoop in and save us. i mean, up on a span can only be faced if they up once fix it. i mean, yes, the odds are against us, but we have to do what we can you have to understand that the prop protests that have been going on since yesterday the whole camping of all or nothing. which means
8:52 pm
that either the girls are included or no one goes to school or university, has potential. we're having conversations about how that translates into 2 months later when the winter break ends. what can we do up in the form of national mobilization? yes, the international community can complement such efforts can connect with such thought within, up as fun. but at the end of the day up one is done. solutions have to be organic, have to come from within the country and they to be listen to. so ha, you know that the whole debate about the, his job, the may guardian for a girl, if she is planning to travel for long distance, the access to the public parks in many, many pos for the muslim world. people have moved beyond this debate is no longer something people are grappling with because of major major reforms that we're in to place for, for now, for, for decades except for many, for some places and of got his son is one of them. do you have the hope that one
8:53 pm
day this is something that could convince the top leadership of the afghanistan on the need to reform themselves, or at least the own interpretation of islam for woman to thrive in afghanistan? actually harshly speaking, as you said, dad, so they're a, b r, egypt and so many other islamic countries, idea stood against this decision to tell of and took and about the her job, of course were, did define what they have. the definition of her job is not the exact definition that islam said on the other reason that most of the times when it comes to education of the school or universities, they say that we want you to have her jobs. but i would want to say just for your programs to, to word and afghans do not have any issue with her job. it's not only about her job . if it was only about day, even before our girls dated, they were like,
8:54 pm
always wearing the clothes get worse so suitable according to the custom we have enough gather. but of course we are living in the 21st century. according to that, if we want to have a better future for us, we're our own people. we have to accept some changes we have to adopt. and we have to understand that in order to let the girl grow in order to have a better society for i've got a son, we have to let go. it kid do not put low pressure according to be strength, like he job all these. or you can not travel alarm is quite tough. for example, if girl to brother, he is always like going what her to work with school or she didn't didn't. when will he work? i as your husband is always going here and here with me, which you did when will he work? how will din bet, sir?
8:55 pm
it isn't made exact sense yet. what is lamb safe? there are some rules, but of course, according to time, some rules are like changeable and you how you can adopt some changes according to you, the choice, you're going to love our way the law. when you look at the situation in afghanistan, the taliban were asked to bring about an intrusive government. that didn't happen. there is a huge political divide between the taliban and the society of those. also the issue of the treatment of the hazard, are she i community those an issue of reaching out of the opposition and you are to the mix. this problem with the female. her, her education in afghanistan, could it, could this be assigned by the taliban, or the masters by the taliban to the afghan people to the international community there from no one was we have to accept this reality. which of the taliban will have the ultimate se, over whatever they think is the best for the afghan people?
8:56 pm
yeah. first on huge respect to her and her view on how yeah we, we did expect to have to make compromises. it's just that we didn't expect everything to be taken away. there is this idea of how the pilot on right now are, are there politics seems to be addressed to their own constituencies. and you would expect them to have change that mindset and realize that now they are responsible for a whole country. so the social contract seems to not have been established or extended . there is also this idea that the constant attempts to course simply implement their vision on the large population has historically proven to fail in the partners on in this region as. busy so if they truly want their regina to stay
8:57 pm
and they truly do not want the populations grievances to reach a level where they stand up to them, they will have to listen to the educated use of honest fun. they will have to create a synthesis off these 2 visions into something more sustainable. something that we aren't seeing. it seems that there are indifferent towards the population and they're indifferent towards the world. and all that matters to them is appeasing their own hard line ranks. unfortunately, we have to leave it there, but i promise you how that will continue to talk about this particular issue, hoping about tomorrow is going to be a better day for the gun woman. for hadaway, the lab i had, i really appreciate your insights. looking forward to talking to you in the future . and thank you for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al jazeera dot com for further discussion. got our facebook page that facebook dot com forward slash ha inside for. you can also join the conversational twitter, i'll hand it is at a j inside slot from the hash model and the entire team here in doha bye for now.
