Afghanistan under the Taliban | DW Documentary

Показать описание
Despite the Taliban’s promises of peace and stability, Afghanistan is on its knees. When the militant Islamists took Kabul a year ago, life changed dramatically, especially for women.

Our reporters travel to Afghanistan to find out what life is like under Taliban rule. In a small village in the rural province of Maidan Wardak, they meet Dr. Roshanak. She used to be a member of parliament and always worked to maintain cordial relations with the Taliban.

In the capital Kabul, our reporters spend time with Aisha, who used to work for a UN project and dreamed of a career in politics. Now she feels “like a prisoner”.

They also meet the desperate potters of Istalif, whose business crumbles under the worsening economic crisis. And they encounter members of the Taliban who blame the West for hunger and poverty.

Their return to power is the result of America’s longest war, which started barely a month after the September 11 attacks in 2001.

The Afghan Army had 330, 000 personnel and billions of dollars in American weapons and equipment, yet in the face of only 80, 000 Taliban almost all of them drop their weapons, surrender en masse, or ditch their uniforms and return to civilian life. Truth is, they had everything they needed to defeat the Taliban, they just didn't want to.

Kabul does not equal Afghanistan. It was a bubble of western prosperity while the rest of the population was subject to constant fighting and fear. It is normal they welcomed any sort of order that would end their situation. Safety (as in not getting your family killed) is the most basic human need..

some important fact checks by an afghan:
first of all, the first afghan parliament was LITERALLY the most corrupted parliament ever in the short republic period; secondly, Dr roshanak was always notorious for taking money from the govt and the Americans that apparently she hates; besides that, she was a literal warlord, grabbing people's lands in wardak province and things like that

Interviews with women who have fled Afghanistan after the Taliban take over “The Taliban are terrible, they treat us like animals, they won’t let us go to school and I had to flee because I was scared for me life. Why didn’t the Americans stay and protect us?”

Interview with women inside Afghanistan “Everything’s great! We always loved the Taliban and didn't like the Americans!”

We are so proud to be Malaysian. We also the Muslim country but we manage our Countries in proper ways. Women also got their own wright.... Taliban should learn something from the Economic Muslim Country like Malaysia, Brunei & Indonesia. Taliban should change their mind to be fair to all of their Citizens. Islam teach us to be fair to

The hardest and painful thing in this documentary is, this doctor is one of our relatives. Served in the local clinic during the Taliban government back in 1990s (the only female doctor in entire province) and then during all this period. Let us not take it to the politics here, but she spent all her life serving to the women - it is clear and obvious that we need women doctors in our society as a Woman in that culture and society cannot tell about some of their sicknesses to the male doctors (you know culture) and hopefully girls are allowed to study and work as soon as possible. Communities requires women, I don't know where them "Taliban" are getting that from not to allow girls to go to schools. Islam and Quran says it louder "Studying and learning is obligatory since you open your eyes until you die to every single human being." The countries they look up to, not what we say - they allow freely women to study, work, and have their own freedom, then why the only country on earth do not do this?

You should've asked this lady (Roshana Wardak) was it possible for her if she was in Afghanistan under TBs previous regime. How did she got her MD and became a doctor? Definitely not in Afghanistan under TB..

True peace is not merely the absence of war, it is the presence of justice.

The women at 6:40 who speaks about feeding her children, at 6:38 she hits a child for taking bread that she clearly wanted for her children.
This is seriously bleak and depressing.

The fact that far more Afghans fled Afghanistan when the Taliban took over than travelled to Afghanistan at the same time is evidence enough

That first lady was tripping.. If Taliban is so great then why do they need to change their view on women?

All the best for Afghanistan - wish peace, justice and prosperity and happiness.

The lady doctor did not say a single word about women's rights, girls' education, and freedom of speech. I think she is quite happy to see that no lady doctor will be in society in the future.

Superb documentary.
As an American, I don't know what to think. I hate to see women with those damn full head coverings, but 20 years of our intervention did ZERO to change it. Change must come from within.

If they want to live under the Taliban, let them, and leave them to themselves. Just don't blame the "West" for any problems.

She blames the West for abandoning Afghanistan, meanwhile before the West ever interferd women in Afghanistan never had any rights already.

8:00 the irony of the Taliban saying "we want autonomy. let us live and make our own choices" but not letting half of his country (women) do the same

What a ridiculous oaf

As an American I'm glad to see we stopped trying to be the worlds police at least in this country. I don't care if we agree with their rules it's not our country. 🧐
