“The Islamic Emirate doesn’t want women to be victims” Samangani said, using the militants’ term for Afghanistan. “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.”

Pretty sure they also did not expect to win so quickly

I deeply want this to happen. Not out of spite, but for uh feminism.

Spite is a perfectly good rationale for a lot of things.

The libs will immediately use that to say “look, we did a good thing for people in Afghanistan!”

Damn, true. Plus smug mockery doesn’t really do much to effect real change (much like representation politics)…probably why spite is a poor substitute for ideological clarity.

Personally I was expecting them to open up a little in order to be like “Hey international community, we are Afghan now look we are a valid country acting as a valid country” and while it will still be shitty, it probably won’t be much worse than what’s already out there.

lol, it’ll be fun if things go really well over there and we get to see chuds continue their scaremongering about Shariah law, but now because it’s too “woke” for them

I think it’ll be like last time where they claimed to want to leave power one a ‘good islamic’ government was formed, and then just didn’t

I feel like nowadays it’s a bit less acceptable to cooperate with a near universal terrorist government

Seems people don’t tell the US to tone it down very often.

Pakistan had ties, but support is a strong word to use. they basically were completely alone. honestly this time they seem to be going for a more international diplomatic stance if anything
