RAWA: International Human Rights Day comes at a time when Afghanistan is no longer facing "human rights catastrophe" but the complete collapse of its human life. After the United States and NATO betrayed our people again and handed over Afghanistan to their Taliban minion, as expected, the so-called "achievements" of twenty years collapsed in twenty minutes, and made our people face an all-encompassing and unprecedented crisis. more...

RAWA: November 25, 2021, on the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA) held a gathering with the participation of a number of its members and supporters under the misogynist and medieval rule of the Taliban. RAWA commemorates this day as the United States and its allies once again handed over power to the bloodthirsty Taliban, and now the countries of the region and the West are dealing with these killers for their strategic interests. Despite all the apparent “concern”, what is of no value to them is the fate of the people, especially the suffering women of Afghanistan. more...

RAWA: The United States and NATO are talking about a “strategic failure” in Afghanistan after twenty years of war and the massacre of tens and thousands of innocent Afghans and handing over Afghanistan with $85 billion worth of weapons and military equipment to their Taliban stooges. Today, Afghanistan is in a more catastrophic state than in 2001, in the grip of terrorism, barbarism, drug mafia, foreign intervention and other devastating miseries, and is facing economic collapse, poverty and mass exodus of its citizens. Meanwhile, the situation of Afghan women under the Taliban’s medieval oppression is the most painful. more...

El Salto: En este Podcast de El Salto Radio escuchamos desde Afganistán el testimonio de Sana Talash, estudiante de la universidad de Kabul y activista de la Asociación Revolucionaria de Mujeres de Afganistán (RAWA), sobre como el nuevo gobierno talibán está desplegando una estrategia represiva en contra de los derechos de las mujeres y de quienes se oponen al régimen fundamentalista. more...

Towards Freedom: From the U.S. military intervention launched under the banner of democracy and human rights to restored warlords and the resuscitated Taliban regime, Afghan women have never stopped fighting for their rights.When Taliban forces entered Kabul on August 15, appearing to have taken control of Afghanistan two weeks before the United States was set to complete its troop withdrawal, shock and fear for women’s fate under the Islamist group’s repressive rule quickly multiplied inside the country and globally. more...

Tu Eliges: Persecuciones, conflictos, violencia, pánico, violaciones de los derechos humanos y muertes. Estos son algunos de los constantes eventos que se vienen registrando en Afganistán, luego de la retirada de las tropas estadounidenses de su territorio y la toma de Kabul por parte de los talibanes. Los fundamentalistas religiosos vuelven a imponer su reinado de terror, como ya lo hicieran hace más de veinte años. more...

Novara Media: From 1996 to 2001, the Taliban held power over roughly three-quarters of Afghanistan and enforced a strict interpretation of Sharia, or Islamic, law. During that period, they oversaw the oppression of women, banning them from public life and subjecting them to violence. But this time they claim their rule will be different. Taliban spokesmen have insisted they will respect women’s rights to education and to work, within an Islamic framework. more...

ND: In den sozialen Medien sind einige Bilder aufgetaucht, auf denen Frauen mit Waffen zu sehen sind. Einige von ihnen gehörten zu Kriegsherren wie Dostum, andere waren sogenannte Aktivistinnen der Zivilgesellschaft. In der Provinz Bamiyan etwa trafen sich einige sogenannte zivilgesellschaftliche Aktivistinnen mit Polizeibeamten weit weg von der Frontlinie und posierten mit ihren Waffen in der Hand für ein Fotoshooting. Sie verbreiteten das Foto in den sozialen Medien und verglichen sich sogar mit den Frauen in Kobane, doch als die Taliban angriffen, more...

OCML VP: Queridas hermanas combatientes, queridas camaradas,Nos hemos enterado, con gran preocupación, que los talibanes han vuelto a entrar en Kabul. El régimen títere instaurado por los imperialistas se ha derrumbado como un castillo de naipes. Puede que sea el fin de una guerra, pero ¿de qué paz se puede disfrutar a manos de un régimen religioso fascista y ultra-obscurantista que se está instaurando ? more...

Il Post: Dagli anni Settanta in Afghanistan esiste un gruppo autorganizzato impegnato nella lotta per i diritti delle donne, per la loro autodeterminazione e quella del loro paese: si chiama RAWA, Associazione Rivoluzionaria delle Donne Afghane, e da sempre lavora in clandestinità. Da quarant’anni RAWA – che ai progetti concreti di sostegno e aiuto affianca un intenso lavoro politico – racconta la condizione delle donne afghane, al di là della narrazione retorica, paternalistica o strumentale spesso dominante nel dibattito occidentale. more...

OCML VP: Dear fighting sisters! Dear comrades!It is with great concern that we have learned that the Taliban has entered Kabul again. The puppet regime put in place by the imperialists has collapsed like a house of cards. This may be the end of a war, but what peace can you enjoy at the hands of a fascist and ultra-obscurantist religious regime that is being set up ? more...

The Canary: Following misogynistic Donald Trump’s 2020 sell-out deal with the equally misogynistic Taliban, the big powers have helped restore fundamentalist rule in Afghanistan. That deal included a guarantee by the Taliban to ensure that no group or individual violates the security of the US or its allies within Afghanistan. However, the bombing at Kabul airport by IS-Khorasan (IS-K), which tragically saw at least 169 Afghans killed and many more wounded, put an end to that provision. It was the latest humiliation for the retreating US and its allies. more...

Elas Que Lucrem: No último dia 17 de agosto, um grupo de mulheres afegãs foi às ruas em oposição à volta do Talibã ao governo do Afeganistão. “Somos mulheres, queremos nossos direitos: segurança, educação e participação política”, declararam as manifestantes na ocasião. Elas seguravam cartazes em frente a um comboio do grupo extremista e pediam: “Queremos trabalhar! Nenhuma força vai sufocar as mulheres.”Com o retorno do grupo fundamentalista ao poder, após a retirada das forças americanas, os direitos conquistados pelas afegãs nos últimos 20 anos estão em risco e elas sabem disso. Mas a resistência das mulheres do país não é algo novo. more...

Le régime fantôche mis en place par les impérialistes s’est effondré comme un château de carte.

il manifesto: Afghanistan. Intervista a una delle attiviste di Rawa, la storica Associazione rivoluzionaria delle afghane fondata nel 1977: «È un macabro scherzo sostenere che democrazia e diritti di genere fossero gli obiettivi degli Usa e della Nato. La mentalità dei taliban non è cambiata e non cambierà mai. Continueremo a lottare per un Afghanistan libero indipendente, laico, democratico e giusto» more...

Organization Upgrade: The fall of the Afghan puppet government of Ashraf Ghani was inevitable. US military and government officials knew for years the extent of the corruption inside the Afghan government, military, and security forces. It was just a matter of time.As Taliban insurgents surgically carved their way through Afghanistan, toppling one provincial capital after another, the US mainstream media from the left and the right slammed President Joe Biden’s response as a “failure of intelligence.” In fact, the CIA raised the possibility of a swift Taliban takeover following the collapse of the Afghan government, but one thing above all else is true – Biden was 100% correct: the troops needed to be withdrawn. more...
