The right to education, the unattainable dream of our children

RITA ANWARI

The right to education, the unattainable dream of our children!

The reopening of girls’ schools depends on the heterogeneous and radical beliefs of the Taliban.

The difference between the views and performance of the Taliban in Afghanistan and the contradictory announcements and news from their address about the reopening of girls’ schools, which is of particular importance for the new generation of Afghanistan and the international community; It is a reflection of the Taliban’s blackmailing of the international community and even the heterogeneity of views at the leadership levels of the Islamic Emirate of the Taliban.

The reopening of girls’ schools by the government requires belief and commitment to the rights of women, children and human freedoms, while what we are witnessing is the intellectual basis of the Taliban, they lack such values.

In my opinion, the news about the opening of girls’ schools in cities like Mazar and Herat is a kind of political trick, apart from the exaggeration that has taken place.

Why is this not done in Kabul, which is their political and military center?

Isn’t this action considered a form of its informalization and that the Taliban are looking for other goals, or in other words, looking to remove some of their local obstacles in Mazar and Herat?

Lately, the local and global media as well as the countries of the region have expressed their concerns about the influence and presence of ISIS in northern Afghanistan.

A number of groups close to the Taliban in the north and west of the country have the capacity to be close to ISIS, but the local government of those cities is in the hands of groups close to Mullah Brother, which is considered a threat to the rival group, the Haqqani network.

The continuity of the girls’ schools in these provinces can be a red line for extremist groups inclined to ISIS and also an opportunity for the Haqqani group to weaken the local governance of these provinces through them.

This is a dangerous game in which the right to education of Afghan girls will be sacrificed to settle political accounts and also blackmail and deceive the international community.

With no sign the ruling Taliban will allow them back to school, some girls and parents are trying to find ways to keep education from stalling for a generation of young women.
