discover the world around with subscribe to d w documentary on you to wow . they set it up in news asia coming up to date, making their case for cash. i've gone down to new rulers, meet diplomats to demand funds for the country. some aid has been promised, but you and god, diplomats in dall housy respecting women's rights is a must. what will the taliban do so? meanwhile, i've gone to work for foreign countries. now in hiding, they say they're being hunted by the taliban. what's happened with promises from the west to get them out and from desperation to addiction,

work is scarce, hunger is on the rise, and a growing number in kabul are turning to drugs or i'm escape ah, i'm british energy. welcome to d w. news asia. glad you could join us of janice on needs international funds, but it can't have them. it's mainly for 2 reasons. thought about role isn't recognized and they have denied women and girls work and educational opportunities . i live in the week. they promised to do better at a meeting with you representatives, the group promised a return to schools for girls of all ages. by the end of next month, in return, they demanded international funding to stave off a desperate humanitarian crisis. this is what they got. special envoy of the european union for bonus don thomas class on treated after the meeting that the you

would deliver 500000000 euros in assistance to the u. n. and g o. as but not before expressing grave concern over enforced disappearances. women's mistreatment and the denial of rights of women and minorities. now, similar concerns were expressed by gulf nations at the start of the week. also indoor ambassadors from the 6 nation gulf corporation council or gcc met the same taliban delegation before they go to opinions. they agreed based on needed to monitor and help, but they also asked the taliban to respect coat basic freedoms and rights, including women's right, to work and education. and from all this, i'm joined by correspondent allah in it's done goal. allie, the you and gulf states seem to have made it clear and do that women's rights aren't up for negotiation. do you think the taliban will deliver the

problem? this is come up several times in the past and if you think about it, that's all a bunch of really expected this from the moment they took over the country that the one thing the world would be looking at, considering you know, their previous regime in the ninety's is their treatment of women, so they have to deliver, you know, if they really want to make progress and if they really want the rest of the world to assume or see them are somehow different they, they are obliged to deliver at this point because it's really, if you think about it, even if you're not, you know, a member of the taliban government just as an average on you would think, oh, clearly the most embolic thing, the most obvious thing they can do is to show that they have changed in terms of women's right, that's the one thing that will, you know, gain the attention of all of these other countries. and in a lot of ways,

it's probably the simplest thing they can do. you know, they reopening secondary school for teenage girls. you know, there's still was no clear explanation as to why they had shut it down for so long anyway, you know, making sure that women can properly go back to work. you know, they're already female health workers have gone back to work their, their female aid workers that have been able to go back to work in certain provinces. so opening all of these things up, it's such an a lot of ways that should be so obvious of the tolerable and you know, it's the most basic thing that they can deliver. yet this continues to be a topic of conversation. and is it the case that the taliban a sort of making this up as they go along and they don't really have a vision about including women in public life or even a plan to actually do it. i think that this is, this is become the central issue or the last 6 months is that the tall bond don't seem to have a plan for anything. you know, they, they don't have

a proper plan for education. they don't have a proper plan for schools, for hospitals, for women, for addressing the media. they seem to be, you know, part of it is that there are internal rifts within the group that they will deny. but it's become very clear that those exist. and then the other part is that, you know, they rushed to take over the country and they spent 20 years fighting as an armed opposition group. i don't think they ever put into thought ok, we're getting closer and closer. we made a deal with united 8. you know, at some point we will take over this country. they really don't seem to have any sort of a plan as to how they want to around the country or what their actual vision is. and i think this is a big problem, is that, you know, they have yet to really come out and say, these are the specific laws we want to enforce. these are, this is our specific vision of how we want to run the country. this is our a doc expectation out of the people above on the saw in terms of, you know, us being their government and leaving them. they've yet to come out with any kind

of real concrete statements. they put out a lot of nice words. and a lot of assurances and promises, but at the end of the day there's nothing exact that has come about in the last 6 months. yeah, hopefully something will come about ally, we'll have to leave it there for the time being for today. but thank you so much for giving us a perspective. thanks. since seizing power 6 months ago, the taliban has got it out more than a 100 executions and forced disappearances. that's according to a recent report by human rights watch. the reports had the body been targeted of guns did fought against taliban leaders, say they have dismissed. those was unable, but many more of guns fear they'd be next. thousands were worked for foreign countries remain in the country. despite promises from several governments, including germany, to help their former employees leave there still waiting and losing hope a country road somewhere in afghanistan. we can't disclose where this man is

staying tonight or his identity for his own protection. i was one of the former local african staff. we implemented projects for germany and afghan, a stand for many years since the collapse of afghanistan. we can't stay here anymore. we are threatened by the taliban and we are afraid of them. immediately after the taliban seized power in august, they came looking for him. i wasn't home at the time, but my father was. they beat my father badly, and they tortured him and asked him to find me. they gave him a date by which time he had to find me. the family had been on the move ever since. the man worked on behalf of the german government at an end, joe,

until 2014. he's hoping for a visa to germany. he wrote to his former supervisor, but says he's received no answer. i always ask myself why i helped the germans in afghanistan. why did i work with an organization that doesn't care about us? that is forgotten us in the media, they always said the leaders of germany and other countries support those who helped us enough. ghana, stan, the german government says it has approved entry for more than 21000 people since may 2021 solar but only some have been able to leave afghanistan. personal thousands are still waiting. many in hiding. this man also worked for the german army, mostly as a subcontractor, which means he's not eligible for a visa. he says the taliban are looking for him. i'm. i was caught him under the hood. every day people who worked for foreigners are being murdered on remote dirt

roads law. we have no idea what to do. the funky maci booker name back in germany, refugee writes groups accused the german authorities of inaction. yes, all the debt we demand immediate action from the new german government. the sluggish bureaucracy needs to end with whoever needs protection must be allowed to leave. the control size of the german government declined to comment on camera. this man will not be returning to his family home any time soon. he just hopes that the german government will finally help him. a lack of jobs of freezing weather and food shortages have fueled desperation across the country. perhaps no ways that desperation more visible than under a bridge in western kabul, where drug user seek to number their pin. the pull a saw bridge has long been known as a place to avoid unless you are a drug addict. but since the thought about take over the numbers of people below it

has gone up. it is a part of cobble synonymous with hard drugs and crime. but those who frequent this spot or live here under the police took the bridge, say it has gotten much worse since the taliban regain power. a muddy garbage strewn . filthy hell hole had been a mistake in this place. even my dad come to school down for 5, listen, i heard of the other say as it, under this bridge, work of just in just as tens of thousands, perhaps millions have lost work in afghanistan. poppy cultivation is said to be on the rise. and with that, heroin use and addiction the taliban stand against drug use. but with the exit of nearly all international charities and n g o, there are far fewer. here to help those swallowed by addiction. get back on their

feet. they separate from their families some not heard from for months or ever with his cousin. honda from 66 month ago. yeah, he's gone. we want to find him. don't know that to where is he on what he's doing, and now i'm looking for him to find him because he of our children alive, anti narcotics experts, say 11 percent of the population. here are drug users with 4 to 6 per cent. addicted. a number likely to grow with the isolation of taliban lead afghanistan. that's it for today. our website, d, deborah dot com, forward slash asia has more background on the situation in afghanistan. there's reports, explain as and analysis. and as ever, you can also follow us on facebook and twitter. well, the taliban continue to make promises on women's rights and break them women in

a bonus on a deciding to speak up. some have paid the price for that activism facing arrest threats and disappearances. but still they carry on. we leave you today with images from kabul from the past few weeks of women protesting for their rights in a country under polly bon rule. we'll see you back here on monday till then have a good weekend. and good bye with
