“Not content with depriving girls and women of education, employment, and free movement, the Taliban also want to take from them parks and sport and now even nature, as we see from this latest ban on women visiting Band-e-Amir,” Human Rights Watch’s Associate Women’s Rights Director Heather Barr says.

    Okay, but the US didn’t do a great job of preparing Afghanistan for resisting the Taliban when they left. Have you seen John Oliver’s very good segment on the topic? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2hw_ghPcQs&ab_channel=LastWeekTonight

    The US basically packed everything up and left overnight. Afghanis have had to survive wars, starvation, isolation, no technology to co-ordinate… Once trucks full of Taliban guys with M16s start moving into every community what are regular afghanis supposed to do?
