Taliban spokesman Suhail Shaheen has admitted that his daughter went to school, even though there was a prohibition on girls who received education in Afghanistan. He made a revelation on the new television presenter Piers Morgan on Talk TV.Mr Morgan faced a Taliban spokesman and asked if his daughter was allowed to get an education, according to the clip of the event posted on Twitter by Piers Morgan Uncensored.
“Of course yes. They observe the veil, and that means we have not denied our people,” Shaheen said in a tense exchange. Mr Morgan then replied by saying, “So your daughter gets education because they do what you say to them.”
Social media users quickly responded to the clip, calling Suhail Shaheen for hypocrisy. A Twitter user said, “This man’s daughter observes the hijab and gets education. One daughter of this man played on the Qatar soccer team. One girl has a Qatar boyfriend. Afghan -girls Afghanist observed the veil but lost education through class 6 and they could not play sports. “The others added,” Hypocrisy! The Taliban allows their children to go to school and forbid education for others. “
This is to mention that schools in Afghanistan are still not reopened for girls even though there are previous promises from the Taliban that they will be able to continue their education.Initially, the school was determined to open in March, however, the Taliban announced the day they should open that they would still be closed. This group did not offer a clear explanation for the shift, even when officials held a ceremony in the Kabul capital to mark the beginning of the academic year, saying it was a problem for the country’s leadership.
The Taliban has promised a softer version of the harsh Islamic rules that characterized their first duty from 1996 to 2001, however, many restrictions have been charged. Some Afghan women initially pushed back to the rules, holding a small protest where they demanded the right to education and work. But, according to AFP, when the Taliban immediately gathered leaders, they finally kept quiet.
