‘I begged them, my daughter was dying’: how Taliban male escort rules are killing mothers and babies
-
It was the middle of the night when Zarin Gul realised that her daughter Nasrin had to get to the hospital as soon as possible. Her daughter’s husband was away working in Iran and the two women were alone with Nasrin’s seven children when Nasrin, heavily pregnant with her eighth child, began experiencing severe pains.
“I begged them, telling them my daughter was dying. I pleaded for their permission,” says Gul. “But they still refused. In desperation, I lied and said the rickshaw driver was my nephew and our guardian. Only then did they let us pass.”
By the time they reached the hospital it was too late. Nasrin’s baby had already died in her womb, and her uterus had ruptured. The doctors said Nasrin needed to be transferred to another hospital and so Gul helped her daughter into another rickshaw and they set off again, towards a government hospital an hour away. On their way they were stopped at two more Taliban checkpoints, each time detained for long periods because they were travelling alone.
They did finally reach the hospital, but Nasrin had not survived the journey. “The doctors told us that due to excessive bleeding and the ruptured uterus, both the baby and the mother had died,” says Gul. “We buried them side by side.”

They dare call themselves men, while letting this happen?

No make no mistake; that's not non-violence. Infringing on people's freedom of movement (or anything other right) under threat of violence is violence.

They are men. Just as much as the next. They are simply the evil variant of men.

They’re “protecting” the women.

We spent nearly 20 years and trillions of dollars the get the Taliban out, but Trump negotiated with them and capitulated. When we finally left, the Taliban picked up right where they left off. Many years, lives, and money totally wasted.
Be as outraged as you want, but this is exactly what they want. Their stone-age religion is more important to them than human life.

You're speaking like that makes a difference to a Taliban

It doesn't, but it makes—or should make—a difference to the people outside of Afghanistan. This is violence, and therefore a violent response to it is completely justified and shouldn't make the outside world say bullshit like "But extremism!" or "Can't they just Nonviolently Resist
?". Also—and probably more importantly—it's important to be consistent in our understanding of this stuff, because, for example, Zionists use these same fallacies to discredit the Palestinian resistance. -

This is exactly what Hamas wants in Palestine. This is also something many in Canada and UK wanted when they demanded Sharia.
