Meet the new Taliban, otherwise known as the old Taliban Commentary by BWBailey85:
On Nov. 13, the Taliban’s spokesperson announced that convicted Afghan criminals would be punished in public with measures including stoning, execution, amputation, or physical beatings. The Taliban have begun meting out mass punishments, administering lashings to 11 Afghans at a mosque in Takhar province and to two Afghans at a sports stadium in Bamyan.
While the return of public beatings offers horrifying visual proof of the Taliban’s inhumanity, other escalations demonstrate additional reason for concern. Afghan allies and former Afghan government personnel continue to face hardship finding employment and evading Taliban reprisals. Members of ethnic minorities are likewise living under threat. Since the U.S.
In the 16 months since they came to power, there has been escalating proof of the Taliban’s predatory behaviors and lack of trustworthiness. All the same, Taliban leaders continue to engage with world leaders and bring in revenue. In their latest money-making boon, Taliban senior leaders have utilized construction equipment purchased in Qatar to carry out building projects that"netted millions" in the lead-up to the World Cup.
In the past, leaders and the international community have responded to the Taliban’s misogynistic and harmful orders with pleas that the group change its oppressive behavior. On Nov. 25, U.N. Special Rapporteurs stated that the Taliban’s treatment of women may constitute crimes against humanity. But any facade the Taliban retained of having changed their behavior since their prior regime has officially vanished. World leaders and humanitarian groups must step up efforts to aid Afghans living under the thumbs of the brutal Talibs. Simultaneously, international organizations must seek to make Taliban leaders accountable for their continued crimes.Beth Bailey is a freelance writer from the Detroit area.
