Passionate Afghan leader Shukria Barakzai on Taliban, US betrayal & why it matters I Shoma Chaudhury

A peace talk designed for war. A poison playground. A departure. A tragedy.

What happens in Afghanistan impacts the world.

Powerful. Passionate. Angry. Afghani leader SHUKRIA BARAKZAI lays bare the killing fields unfolding there. Why the Taliban is gaining ground. The price women are paying. Why Afghan forces are losing. And why there is a terrible sense of American betrayal.

She also pierces through the glaze of geo-politics. And calls out Pakistan & its terror robots. And the rest of the great global game.

This is a woman’s unforgiving eye on a hyper male world.

America took the best decision for it self under present geo-political situation. If Taliban was worthy enough of a force for Americans to sit down and cut a deal with, its about time Afghans like Shukria Barakzai take a good hard look at their society, vulnerabilities and power plays to make decision in the best interest of their nation and it's people. No one is coming to Afghanistan to educate girls and implement democracy; most people who are in Afghanistan to educate girls hardly know what their own daughters are doing back home. Everyone wants $2Trillion+ minerals wealth and its geo-strategic access routes. It seems like Ms.Shukria Barakzai have done well for herself under American occupation, eating chocolate cake and speaking English makes one civilized? And you wonder why your country is being taken for a ride, by anyone and everyone. Things that are going to unfold in near future are going to be a good reality check for hypocrites.

They trust the govenrment? Really? Where does she live? I think in Kabul. Wiki: "While expressing gratitude for "the support of the international community" in creating the conditions..." Ah. Spiegel: She is considered a close confidant of Afghan President Ashraf Ghani Ahmadsai. Ah.

Why don’t you Afghani government invite Chinese Army? At the end they build train rails, info structure and etcetra

Will you please try to know by keeping a watch on clock how lengthy your 'questions' or comments always are in comparison to answers of your interviewiees. You seem to be in love with your own voice. Superiority complex is the extreme form of inferiority complex. Sorry to be hurtful.
