Bozeman – The Asian Institute continued his mission to education, in the midst of uncertainty under the Taliban government in Afghanistan.
Executive Director Alice Thomas noted that when US troops were withdrawn from Afghanistan, his office was filled with chaos, surprises, and heartbreak.
I remember one colleague of a close woman who told me, she felt like she was thrown into a wolf,” said Thomas. “A colleague is on the last civil flight from Kabul.”
Taliban announced that in March, middle school girls would be able to return to school.
“What is it like that, no one really knows,” said Thomas, “part of this problem, there are fears that they will ask girls and women to be educated by female teachers.”
Already, university women must be taught by women, Thomas said. With some female teachers, it concerns Thomas in the future.
“There are so many things that come out of our control, but what makes me wake up and do what I do every day, is knowing I try to help,” Thomas said.
Gather Abdulhaq Niazi, is the executive director of the current Afghan Constitution (TACT), and works every day with Kabul residents.
e ask the world to pay attention to Afghans who have suffered,” Niazi said.
Niazi reflects the current state of Afghanistan under the Taliban government.
It’s quite safe, but with an uncertain future,” said Niazi, “especially for educated girls and women, who don’t know their destiny.”
