In another move that makes America look like the laughing stock of the world, Joe Biden’s State Department has penned a letter, which has been signed by multiple other countries (but no Middle Eastern ones), essentially asking the Taliban to be nice to people in Afghanistan.
“We are deeply worried about Afghan women and girls, their rights to education, work and freedom of movement. We call on those in positions of power and authority across Afghanistan to guarantee their protection,” the statement reads.
It sends the chilling warning “We will monitor closely how any future government ensures rights and freedoms that have become an integral part of the life of women and girls in Afghanistan during the last twenty years.”
Good God, imagine the fear that a promise of “monitoring closely” puts into the Taliban.
Why even bother writing that many words? Just send out a Tweet and #BeNiceTaliban. Afterall, the Taliban is on Twitter, and the Washington Post has noted how ‘sophisticated’ the group’s use of social media is.
The State Department’s strongly worded letter comes after the Ambassador to the UN also pointed to “a very strongly worded press statement” from the Security Council asking the Taliban to be respectful:
As we noted yesterday, 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.
Here’s how that is going so far:
