Much ado about the spread of the virus. One topical issue that I feel humans should be talking about the more is the activities if the Taliban Regime in Afghanistan.
The withdrawal of the US and NATO Army from Afghanistan made it a worse case. The Taliban had overthrown the civil government in what seemed like a bloodless coup, as the incumbent president escape the territory.
Immediately, many Afghans began to feel insecure in their land of birth, probably because of the nature of the rule of the Taliban government.
The first thing the government did was to stop all female from attending schools. All schools where shot and at the resumption, the Taliban rolled out new rules, restrictions as they were called. Now, in Afghanistan, girls are to stay away from school.
Now, this is what people aren't talking enough about.
There are too many excesses that this government is displaying against innocent citizens who are merely exhibiting their fundamental human rights.
One of such is that women have been asked to stay at home and not to attend their work forthwith. Work permit for women is now closed except for women who are into public health sector. One should expect that people who knows what gender equality means, those who knows what it means to protect fundamental human right should not be quiet at such time.
Another thing in Afghanistan that people aren't talking enough about is the restriction on media. The freedom to express oneself in Afghanistan has been banned. In a society that is supposed to be egalitarian, people now live in fear and trauma. People should be talking about this.
The worse for now is the humiliation that melted on people who criticise the government are being incarcerated.
For those of us who live in democratic society, we feel that such abuses are strange and contra end the #UnitedNations Declaration for a sovereign state.
Don't you think this issues are worth talking about?
