Taliban announces 'amnesty,' asks women to join government

In their first remarks on governance, the Taliban declared an “amnesty” across Afghanistan and asked women to join its government, trying to throw out mindset across Kabul where women fear a recurrence of the dreadful regime. “The Islamic Emirate doesn’t want women to be victims,” said Enamullah Samangani, a member of the Taliban’s cultural commission. “They should be in government structure according to Shariah law.”

He added: “The structure of government is not fully clear, but based on experience, there should be a fully Islamic leadership and all sides should join.” Major reports of violations or fighting haven’t yet been reported as people remained confined to their homes and in shock. Older generations remember their ultraconservative Islamic views, which included stonings, amputations and public executions during their rule before the U.S-led invasion.

Sarangani remained vague on other details, however, implying people already knew the rules of Islamic law the Taliban expected them to follow. Let us tell you that under the Taliban, women were largely confined to their homes as invaders have tried to project a moderate image since their takeover.
