Acceptance: Hamid Karzai, the former President of Afghanistan, stressed on women’s education, saying that girls should go back to schools and women should be allowed to work. In a detailed interview with CNN, Karzai said, “It had to happen. There’s no excuse there”.
Afghanistan has yet to open educational institutions, as it witnesses a series of discriminatory rules enacted by the Islamist group after the Taliban seized power in the war-torn nation on August 15, 2020.
Schools will reopen in the spring, according to Islamic Emirate officials.
“If the international community and the US pay the teachers’ salaries or not, we, as the government, will open schools in the spring and this decision is not linked to the demands of the US and the international community,” said Aziz Ahmed Ryan, chief Said of the Publications and Public Relations Department of the Ministry of Education.
“We should start working for a stable and peaceful Afghanistan by building a constitution, incorporating the opinions and aspirations of all other Afghans, going forward with opening schools for girls in this march,” Karzai said.
Karzai also pointed out that he and Abdullah Abdullah, chairman of the High Council for National Reconciliation in the previous government, would not be members of any government.
“Dr. Abdullah and I do not want to be in the government. We have had our time. We have done our work for the country. So we have no need in government and we should not be in any future government. .
US Special Envoy for Afghanistan Thomas West said earlier that the US and the international community are ready to pay teachers’ salaries if all-girls schools reopen across the country.
