CENTRAL NEWS – On 3rf of April, the local Taliban government in Bamyan province launched a protest program against the freezing of the Central Bank of Afghanistan’s foreign currency reserves in US banks and with the significant participation of women in this program, they wanted to show that it seems that the women of Bamyan are asking the countries to release Afghanistan’s foreign exchange reserves.
A Bamyani woman during a speech called for the reopening of girls’ schools from sixth grade onwards by the Taliban. The Taliban again wanted to link the protest to the release of blocked Afghan money, which angered Bamyani women.
Bamyan women dragged banners from the wall chanting “Death to Taliban” and disrupted the program. Radio Azadi also published a report titled ‘Women in Bamyan disrupted a meeting of Taliban.”
At the city Bamiyan, a school run by an Afghan woman offers hope towards the repressive impositions of taliban against women. A young woman stated that “They [Taliban fighters] came three times, after they took power again” she added, “looking for my neighbour who used to work for the local police, but he’d already fled. I was afraid, but they didn’t seem to know about my school.” She is the only teacher and her work is voluntary. She sometimes received donations from occasional visitors from the capital Kabul, but the school has survived thanks to her hard work.
