☆ Aid Groups Pause Work in Afghanistan After Nation’s Women Are Banned
  + stars: | 2022-12-25 | by ( Saeed Shah | Esmatullah Kohsar | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
KABUL—Aid groups that provide critical humanitarian assistance to millions of Afghans began suspending operations in the country Sunday in response to the weekend decision by the Taliban to ban women from working in most aid organizations. The majority of Afghans—some 28 million people—are dependent on international aid, according to the United Nations. It is now unclear whether that aid can continue after the country’s hard-line Taliban leadership said Saturday that women would no longer be allowed to work for nongovernmental organizations.

  + stars: | 2022-12-21 | by ( Esmatullah Kohsar | Sune Engel Rasmussen | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The Taliban banned girls from attending elementary school, effectively instituting a total ban on the education of girls and women and dealing one of the most dramatic blows yet to women’s freedoms since seizing power last year. In a gathering in Kabul with private-school directors, clerics and community representatives, Taliban officials on Wednesday also barred female staff, including teachers, from working in schools, closing off one of the few professions that had remained open to Afghan women under the new government, according to school principals who attended the meeting. They also said adult women could no longer visit mosques or attend religious seminaries.

Afghanistan’s Taliban government banned women from attending university, expanding a prohibition on female education that has become a major point of contention with the international community and has drawn harsh U.S. sanctions. The announcement came as the Taliban released two American prisoners in what the Biden administration called a goodwill gesture to Washington.

Mark Frerichs, 60 years old, is in Qatar and is being offered a range of services to help his recovery, a senior White House official said. Mark Frerichs , a civil engineer and U.S. Navy veteran who was kidnapped in Kabul more than two years ago, was freed Monday in a prisoner exchange between the U.S. government and the Taliban, according to the White House. In exchange for Mr. Frerichs, believed to be the last U.S. citizen still being detained by the Taliban when U.S. forces departed the country last year, Washington handed over Bashir Noorzai , a drug lord who was handed a life sentence in the U.S. in 2009 for trafficking $50 million of heroin.
