https://www.independent.co.uk/tv/news/taliban-spokesman-tells-bbc-that-women-and-girls-will-still-have-access-to-education-v623d2878A Taliban spokesman has told the BBC that the group “will respect rights of women” when it takes control of Afghanistan, as they enter Kabul with the previous regime reportedly getting prepared to concede power.
A spokesperson for the Taliban, Suhail Shaheen, told BBC News: “We will respect rights of women…our policy is that women will have access to education and work, to wear the hijab.”
This is despite reports on Saturday (14 August) that women were sent home from their jobs in fallen provinces, and told to leave universities in some instances.

The Taliban was not the only movement that arose in the post-soviet vacuum, yet they're the ones that got the US support, got the arms passed down from the Mujahadeen.
China supported its own rebels, much of the islamic world supported other factions.

Even if you say "Oh, the USSR was meddling, the government that asked them for assistance was illegitimate" and so on (and the events surrounding the start of the war
are a clusterfuck), realistically the USSR looked to Afghanistan defensively. If Afghanistan is a NATO-Islamist alliance sort of place then that puts the bordering SSRs at risk. This is much less true of America, which is 12,000 kilometers and an ocean away. (Indeed, you can work back from here into Afghanistan's history, where Britain took an interest in the region because it could give the Russian Empire a path down to India! Geography!)
Furthermore it's worth remembering the extent of foreign aid given to anti-Soviet forces. The situation was not purely one of an illegitimate Soviet occupation fought off by the brave Mujahideen (to whom this post is dedicated), but also one of a US Proxy-Soviet conflict and indeed a China Proxy-Soviet conflict. (This is also true of some extent at the present, where anti-US forces obviously get some foreign aid, but there's no power doing that on anywhere near the scale of support that anti-Soviet forces got.)

>And real talk, the Taliban probably aren't materially worse than current government. The fundamentalism is not good obviously but it's not realistic any government can exist outside of that framework that isn't a puppet government.Define "puppet government". Was the socialist government of the past merely a "puppet government" for you? And I never made an argument on the Taliban being materially worse or not, it will likely be worse for some demographics and "better" for others. Certainly doesn't make them all around better.
>Instead you have people swallowing American propaganda getting blasted across cable news in terms of how evil the Taliban are and boo hoooooo Liberals are complaining because they are liberals, and their position is that of the US maintaining it's "place" in the world. It has nothing to actually do with the people, or with our issues as communists with groups like the Taliban.

The PDPA government increased average wages by 50% in their first 3 years, abolished payment for water, abolished the feudal land system, built roads and railroads, and enacted dozens of progressive social reforms. The reactionary terrorists with the support of US weapons destroyed thousands of schools, hundreds of mosques, dozens of hospitals, murdered hundreds of peace activists, and murdered thousands of socialists.

>To this, the PSR study adds at least 220,000 in Afghanistan and 80,000 in Pakistan, killed as the direct or indirect consequence of US-led war: a “conservative” total of 1.3 million. The real figure could easily be “in excess of 2 million”.
>This means that in Iraq alone, the US-led war from 1991 to 2003 killed 1.9 million Iraqis; then from 2003 onwards around 1 million: totalling just under 3 million Iraqis dead over two decades.

<Despite calls from the US and multiple international organizations to seek a political solution with Ghani’s government, the Taliban entered Kabul on Sunday demanding nothing less than the complete transfer of power. Ghani’s abrupt departure took the Taliban by surprise, the spokesman told Al-Jazeera, and following his flight, the president’s former aides were more than willing to set up an easy transition to Taliban rule.One can speculate why he left without giving a fight.
