-Afghanistan Women’s Revolutionary Association- responds in an interview to the takeover of the Taliban –
It is a joke to say that values ​​such as “women’s rights”, “democracy”, “nation building”, and so on were part of the US and NATO objectives in Afghanistan!

The Afghan Women’s Mission has contacted RAWA – Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan – to address their needs at this urgent time. In this short Q&A with AWM Co-Director Sonali Kolhatkar, RAWA explains the unfolding situation on the ground as they see it.
Sonali Kolhatkar: For years RAWA spoke out against the American occupation and now that it is over, the Taliban are back. Could President Biden have withdrawn US forces in a way that would have left Afghanistan safer than it is today? Could he have done more to make sure the Taliban couldn’t seize power so quickly?

RAWA: In the last 20 years, one of our demands was an end to the US / NATO occupation and even better if they take their Islamic fundamentalists and technocrats with them and let our people decide their own destiny. This occupation only resulted in bloodshed, destruction, and chaos.

They made our country the most corrupt, unsafe, drug trafficker and dangerous place, especially for women.
From the beginning we were able to predict such an outcome. In the early days of the US occupation of Afghanistan, RAWA stated on October 11, 2001:
