afghanistan as let's say 20 years ago where there are only truly bond you have to deal with we have 22. extremist groups that are active regionally nationally and internationally in there and now we know that in parts of afghanistan where the taliban right now or or are present right now women do not have a lot of rights and the the claim to allow women to do their work and to go to school that is not the case because there have been reports and there are substantial reports that that is not the case so that is of course alarming to everybody because as they start leaving the troops are starting to leave today it's you wonder whether we go back fall back to taliban era again and even worse because of all of this these other extremist groups as well. and now in your opinion what are the most important examples of progress made over the past 20 years and what do
