Taliban Envoy Honors Female Leader While Restricting Women at Home

Mawlawi Saadullah Baloch, the Taliban’s chargé d’affaires in Jakarta, has signed a condolence book for Begum Khaleda Zia, the former Prime Minister of Bangladesh. This diplomatic gesture comes from a representative of a regime that has strictly banned Afghan girls and women from work and education.

While paying tribute to a female political leader abroad, the group continues to enforce severe restrictions on women’s rights within Afghanistan. This glaring contradiction has sparked criticism from human rights activists who point out the double standards in the group’s governance.

Observers highlight the irony of honoring a woman’s political legacy internationally while dismantling the rights of women domestically. The event serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing struggle for gender equality and human rights in Afghanistan amidst its diplomatic engagements.
