The Taliban today are telling Afghans that there is nothing to fear now that the country is back firmly under their control. But thousands of Afghans aren't waiting to see if that's true, as the Taliban's history of human rights abuses and their disastrous record with women and girls triggers old, but very real, fears. Joining Geoff Bennett to discuss is Photojournalist and author Lynsey Addario, who for two decades covered women in the country, and former BBC Persian Journalist Nasrin Nawa, whose sister is still in Afghanistan.

Notice that 99.9 percent of those storming the airport and trying to escape were men?
You think men would have made sure their women and children were being put on planes! No! Their president ran fast to get away! Paid to leave! Pukin helped moron create Taliban control in may 2021!
@Python PogChamp Are you talking about these specific men ?
@Blast 4 Me I’m talking about any of the men attempting to flee the country. The women and children are perfectly fine to flee, but it’s expected of men to stay and fight for their nation possibly getting killed in the process, submit to the new order and help them achieve a better future, or die in some pathetic attempt to run away.
MEN? CHECK YOUR PRONOUNS, MISTER!
Less than that but yes most were men
Talisman men are brutal no wonder why they don’t want their men.
They are not men, they are punks.
Do you see how hot their women are … I understand why they wrap them up ….
The women shouldnof been trained to defend the country instead, theres no doubt in my mind they would of fought they know first hand what’s truly at stake for them and they wouldnt want the same for their daughters!
background checks to obtain a weapon? ID to vote? Vaccine passports? What will they do on their southern boarder?
There were women trained to fight. They even had a commando unit. Where are they now? The failure is due to many more complex issues that go beyond just training and equipment.
@Josh Floria Just like they told them. They have all the rights given to them by Islam.
@Josh Floria A female commando unit. lolololololol
Will the Taliban now confess and denounce their past mistreatments of women? Did they ask for forgiveness from the mistreated women victims, their families and their communities? Do they want to be held accountable for any injustices against women?
The men folk just relegated the women back to the Fourteen Century, what could be so bad with that?
“fear”? it’s over good luck and get out of dodge if you can. Of course the Biden administration won’t help though, even our own citizens are left to fend for themselves.
Toxic cynicism
The big lie.
@Nhung Ngo the big fool
They had 20 years to learn how to shoot and fight.
Amen Brother
Why does the media insist on flogging, the struggles of these Afghanists !? America has spent enough time and money on their war. Other countries have their own trials and tribulations, and America can’t be expected to help everyone.
Obama gave away Iraq, it seems only fitting that Biden would give away Afghanistan. It’s just what democranazis do.
Bush started this SHT. Moron gave deals to Taliban in May 2021! Didn’t inform Biden what went down! Pukin gave orders, wimp followed them.
The Afghan soldiers didn’t want to fight for their mothers, wives, sisters and daughters. America can’t want it more than they do.
The middle east does not live in a bubble. They see what feminism has done to the west. Men fought for freedom in the west, now men are openly treated like garbage……
Notice how few men are fighting ‘for’ women, ANYWHERE? Women believe they are equal?? Then fight for it. Stop asking men to do it for you. We bled enough, and no one cares.
They didn’t have a choice. Learn more fool
If the Taliban is smart they would respect women rights and maybe the international world would accept them as a legitimate government that deserves to be left alone lol.
Women’s rights were gone as soon as the last US soldier stepped on that plane to come home.
