Women in Afghanistan: The Taliban knocked on her door 3 times. The fourth time, they killed her
Najia was at home with her three young sons and daughter in a small village in northern Afghanistan when Taliban fighters knocked on their door.
Najia's daughter Manizha, 25, knew they were coming -- her mother had told her they'd done the same thing the previous three days, demanding that she cook food for up to 15 fighters.
"My mother told them, 'I am poor, how can I cook for you?'" said Manizha. "(The Taliban) started beating her. My mother collapsed, and they hit her with their guns -- AK47s."
Manizha said she yelled at the fighters to stop. They paused for a moment before throwing a grenade into the next room and fleeing as the flames spread, she said. The mother of four died from the beating.
The deadly July 12 attack on Najia's home in Faryab province was a chilling preview of the threat now facing women across Afghanistan after the Taliban's takeover of the capital Kabul. CNN is using aliases for Najia and Manizha to protect their identity for safety reasons.
In 10 days, Taliban militants captured dozens of provincial capitals left vulnerable by the withdrawal of US and allied troops.
The speed of the militants' advance caught locals off guard.
Some women said they had no time to buy a burqa to comply with Taliban rules that women should be covered up and accompanied by a male relative when they leave the house.
To Afghanistan's women, the flowing cloth represents the sudden and devastating loss of rights gained over 20 years -- the right to work, study, move and even live in peace -- that they fear will never be regained.
Deep mistrust
When the Taliban last ruled Afghanistan between 1996 and 2001, they closed girls' schools and banned women from working.
After the US invaded in 2001, restrictions on women eased, and even as the war raged, a local commitment to improving women's rights, supported by international groups and donors, led to the creation of...
‘Kinder, gentler Taliban’ start new image by executing a woman in street for not wearing burqa
There are words and then there are actions, and when it comes to the Taliban, there is little consistency between the two.
The Taliban appear to have learned from Western politicians that there’s great value in playing the media in support of their cause, as seen this week when they claimed with a straight face that women’s rights will be respected in Afghanistan.
On the same day this propaganda was being uttered, Taliban fighters shot and killed a woman in Takhar province after she went out in public without a burqa, according to The Associated Press. The Taliban have said women will have to wear hijabs but not burkas.
A horrific photo was released of a young woman lying in a pool of her own blood in district Taloqan, while her parents and others kneel around her. The news agency reported that she was killed by insurgents for not wearing a head covering. Then again, when the Taliban said they’d honor women’s rights and encouraged girls to return to school and women to even join the government, it came with a damning caveat.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said the militant group is “committed to the rights of women under the system of sharia law,” but stressed women would work and study “within our frameworks.”
Mujahid declared that “Afghanistan is no longer a battlefield of conflict,” and claimed that they will grant “amnesty” to Afghans who worked with the U.S.
“We have pardoned all those who have fought against us,” he said. “Animosities have come to an end. We do not want to have any problems with the international community.”
Enamullah Samangani, a member of the Taliban’s cultural commission, regurgitated these talking points.
“The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan with full dignity and honesty has announced a complete amnesty for all Afghanistan, especially those who were with the opposition or supported the occupiers for years and recently,” Samangani said, according to the Associated Press. “The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan doesn’t want the women to be the victims anymore … The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is ready to provide women with the environment to work and study, and the presence of women in different (government) structures according to Islamic law and in accordance with...
Insanity: UNICEF Is Taking The Taliban At Face Value On Promise To Educate Women And Girls
The UN’s stance comes on the heels of The U.S. State Department asking the Taliban to form an “inclusive” government
UNICEF appears to be taking the Taliban at face value after the extremist group declared that it will support education for women and girls, with the head of the UN organisation saying that he has “not a single issue with the Taliban” after they promised to get schools up and running in Afghanistan.
Reuters reports that the UN is ‘quite optimistic’ about the Taliban taking control:
“We have ongoing discussions, we are quite optimistic based on those discussions,” UNICEF’s chief of field operations in Afghanistan, Mustapha Ben Messaoud, told a U.N. briefing.
“We have not a single issue with the Taliban in those field offices,” Messaoud added.
A spokesman for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights also stated Tuesday that “We call on the Taliban to demonstrate through their actions, not just their words, that the fears for the safety of so many people from so many different walks of life are addressed.”
The terrorist group also held a press conference, where it said it is “committed to the rights of women within the framework of Sharia.”
It’s been 20 years since they were able to freely go around shooting women in the head for daring to have jobs. So we’re supposed to believe they’re reformed characters now… or something?

WATCH: SHOCKING Broad-daylight hatchet attack at downtown Manhattan ATM
A 51-year-old man was peacefully withdrawing money at an Chase Bank ATM on lower Broadway in Manhattan's Financial District on Sunday afternoon, when a man with a hatched launched into an unprovoked attack on him.
A 51-year-old man was withdrawing money at an Chase Bank ATM on lower Broadway in Manhattan's Financial District on Sunday afternoon, when a man with a hatched launched into an unprovoked attack on him.
The grisly incident, one of very many occurring in NYC so far this year, occurred near Beaver Street on Broadway at around 5:30pm on Sunday, and was captured by the ATM's security cameras.
The video shows the victim focused on the ATM's screen and the assailant approaching with a bag. He then takes the hatchet out of the bag and sneaks up behind the victim, proceeding to slash him viciously in the leg.
The victim winds up bloodier and bloodier as he suffers blow after blow from the hatchet, trying in vain to defend himself.
The assailant then smashes the ATM's screens and calmly walks away. Amazingly, he doesn't steal any money, and even leaves both the weapon and his backpack behind, despite not seeming in any kind of a hurry.
The victim was rushed to hospital and...
Top Google Engineer Abandons Company, Reveals Big Tech Rewrote Algorithms to Target Trump
A Big Tech whistleblower said Google altered its algorithm in order to ensure that negative stories from the establishment media about former Present Donald Trump were what people saw when using the highest-trafficked website on the internet.
Zach Vorhies, who previously worked for Google, said in an interview with The Epoch Times that the tech titan specifically tailored its news algorithm to harm the former president.
Vorhies has written a book about his experience working at Google. He said he wanted to “take conspiracy theory and turn it into conspiracy fact” by sharing the practices he saw as a longtime former employee, working on both Google and YouTube projects.

“People kind of suspect this is happening. That certain keywords trigger things within the algorithm … That is actually happening,” he told the Times, noting that newly written stories about Trump were digitally married with older ones to ensure they remained at the top of search results.
“They actually have that. They show like a graph, a tree, and they say actually this forms a super-story that spans...
