Women's rights activist Asila Wardak has sharply criticized recent remarks by Shahabuddin Delawar, the head of the Taliban's Red Crescent Society, stating that the Taliban do not have the right to represent Pashtuns.
In a fiery response, Wardak said, "Do not use the name of Pashtuns. You are neither Pashtuns, nor do you have the right to represent Pashtuns." She also argued that the Taliban's positions are in direct contradiction with the principles of Islam.
Wardak condemned the five-year-long ban on girls' education imposed by the Taliban, questioning what answer they will give to God for this "oppression" and for "destroying the future of millions of girls." Her comments followed a statement by Delawar in which he claimed the word "woman" was not mentioned in the Doha Agreement.
Delawar, who was a senior member of the Taliban's negotiating team in Doha, has defended the group's ban on female education. This ban is now entering its fifth year, depriving millions of Afghan girls of their basic right to learn.
Delawar's statement and Wardak's reaction have caused a stir among Afghans. Many have begun to question all of the Taliban's promises, accusing them of being liars who manipulate Islam and renege on their commitments to serve their own interests.
Critics maintain that the Taliban have consistently failed to honor their pledges, both to the international community and to the people of Afghanistan. They argue that the group's actions demonstrate a lack of commitment to any principle other than maintaining their own power.
