[WSMDiscuss] Afghanistan Liberated!???

[Sukla Sen]

Here's a significant comment from a friend:

"It breaks my heart to see what is happening in Afghanistan and to think of
what the future holds for its citizens, especially women and girls and the
Hazara minority. Essentially, Trump handed over Afghanistan to the Taliban
and legitimised them, even releasing 5000 of their fighters to help them,
and Biden went along with him. Of course the corrupt and venal government
of Afghanistan, which fails to pay and even feed and arm its troops
properly, is also to blame, and the Taliban were never serious about the
so-called peace negotiations, they were just a facade. But what can be done
now? Can a government-in-exile, which should include at least 50% women, be
formed and sign the Rome Statute of the ICC, so that it applies to
Afghanistan? Is there anything we can do to support the women and girls of
Afghanistan as they struggle to free themselves, or the Hazara minority
facing genocide?"
