Afghanistan and Atrocities



 "It's like having a flower, or a rose. You water it and keep it at home for yourself, to look at it and smell it. It [a woman] is not supposed to be taken out of the house to be smelled." 

~ Syed Ghaisuddin, Taliban Minister of Education


That’s what women’s are to a Education minister.

Anyways, it’s just one of the censures which people of different countries around the globe disapproves.

The cruelest among all were the circumstances, from past 60 decades.

Let’s learn how : 

1960s : Women were allowed to drive, travel & work.

Also with Afghanistan majority of 99%  Muslims granted equality to women.

1970s : King of Afghanistan “Mohammed Zahir shah” was removed and throughout the last years of decade, USSR (The union of soviet socialist republic) ARMY invaded Afghanistan.

“That is were situations got deplorable”

And the very next year in 1979, US (United states) started supporting Anti-soviet Afghans (Mujahideen).

Along with US, Saudi Arabia packed their hands and provided millions & billions of cash and weapons to mujahideen fighters through Pakistan’s ISI.

1980s : US provides 2000+ weapons including FIM-92 Stinger to Mujahideens.

And they (mujahideens) killed 269 Soviet Aircrafts, which contrived soviet Army to withdraw from Afghanistan in 1989.

“END OF 10-YEAR SOVIET AFGHAN WAR *killing more than 2 Million afghans & displacing another 6 million who fled to pakistan and Iran, but who cares*”.

1990s : Phew!! Long Long time.

Trust me it was again “THE BEGINNING”

In 1992, CIVIL WAR Started in Afghanistan with Pakistan military and Saudi Arabia’s Financial support TALIBAN.

In 1996, Taliban seize Kabul and established ISLAMIC EMIRATES OF AFGHANISTAN, which for sure let them (Taliban’s) free hands to governing the country from 1996-2001.

And the most disheartened law came up, SHARIA LAW (Naam toh suna hi hoga apne)

If not, I’ll explain it to you : 

• Complete Ban on Womeb working outside 

• Complete Ban on Education after the age of 8!!!

• Complete Ban on Rights of women.

• Complete Ban on women going outside.

• Executions and punishments publicly & many more.

2000s : 9/11 2001 New York, USA (Agge toh kuch kehne ko bacha nahi).

“It was planned by the wahhabi Islamist terrorist group Al-Qaeda”.

Under US presidency George W. Bush demanded Taliban leader Mullah Omar to hand over Osama Bin Laden.

Year 2001, US Army Invaded Afghanistan and overthrowned the Taliban Government.

Taliban stood up and in 2003, launched an Insurgency against government and ISAF  formed in companionship with NATO.

Taliban increased atrocities against civilians in 2006 with disturbing outcomes.

2010s : OSAMA BIN LADEB WAS SHOT DEAD IN ABBOTTABAD, PAKISTAN 2011.

Civilian fatalities were still increasing, which led Afghanistan tone the poorest & Backward country in the world.

2020s : The pentagon announced on 17 November 2020 that it would reduce the number of US forces in Afghanistan from 4500 to 2500 by mid-January (before President Trump‘s term of office expires on 20 January 2021).

About Afghanistan August 2021, you’ve been keeping a weather eye on the situation.


Distressing Isn’t it ?

These years, they’re (Afghanistan people) suffering all atrocities and loss. 

We can at-least raise our voices by sharing the information around globe about the consequences they are experiencing.

The first pictures above have shown situations before 1960s whereas the second one is from the recent state of affairs.
