‘I Won’t Go 20 Years Back in Time’: Young Afghan Women Speak Out | NYT

Sadiqa Madadgar (@SadiQaMadadgar) was a contestant on “Afghan Star.” Seema Rezai was a member of Afghanistan's national boxing team. They are part of a select group of young women who were fortunate enough to find success in Kabul, Afghanistan. When the Taliban took the city, their dreams were shattered. We reached them on WhatsApp and learned about their hopes and their fears for the future.

I can tell you that with my limited knowledge on Afghanistan overall, but as someone who served in the US military in Afghanistan, we all knew that the second we left, the Taliban would take over. When I was there as recently as 2019, the Taliban already held almost the entire country. Kabul was (and I'm sure still is) an extremely dangerous city, though, along with a few other cities, was technically not owned by the Taliban. Again, from my very limited view and knowledge of the big picture, me and all of my friends knew that the second we left, it was all over. I'm not sure how an Afghan citizen would not have seen this coming.

By the way , the above traits are sign of hypocrites , rebellious and criminals in the eyes of God even though we claim superficially that we love God . It's like loving your country but not following the constitution of country and rejecting it . What happens then if you do it , Government puts you in jail for breaking the rules of constitution. That is about man made laws....how about the constitution revealed in heaven like gospel and we break it everyday but we still claim to love God at the peak of our hypocrisy. We all love to live but hate to die . We believe in this life but don't believe in the hereafter. We love watching movies and songs but hate to read bible , Quran . We love to research about our profession but never research about religion to find the true path. I will die and you will die , we will sure find out promised with God . So wait as I am waiting.

The Afghan woman need to get armed and take over. All these talented, intelligent, beautiful women are going to end badly. Rise up before it happens. Get armed and fight these godless, vile men.

@@backwatersage 'Amrah Radiyallahu 'Anha reports that someone asked 'Aayeshah Radiyallahu 'Anha. "What was the usual practice of Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam at home?" She replied: "He was a human from among other humans. He himself removed the lice from his clothing, milked his goats, and did all his work himself". Hasan Isnād Ash-Shama'il Al-Muhammadiyah 341 Hisham said, "I asked 'A'isha, 'What did the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, do in his house?'

Most of Afghanistan is very poor, true. But ordinary Afghan women, judging from interviews with refugees as well as those who stayed in Herat and Kandahar, worry about peace and security, about food prices and inflation, the lack of jobs. One woman fled from Kabul with her granddaughter. Her daughter in law was killed in the 2020 terrorist attack on a maternity hospital. The newborn baby survived. A son died in a blast in the market. This woman fears more attacks on her community (she is Hazara)abd fled to Spin Boldak (the crossing to Quetta, Pakistan), trying to get to Pakistan. Another woman in Kunduz said that the rich can afford to leave, the poor can't. Or the poor leave on foot to another part of Afghanistan when there was drought such as in 2018, or too many bombs. These internal refugees depended on international aid. Most of the foreign staff and local staff have fled. One (Serbian) doctor in Kandahar who has lived through civil war in the Balkans says he is staying but fears this period is the calm before the storm.

Your life is your profession and you will die with it unless God wills something else for you all . It's not about country or nation or being patriotism , it's about your profession and it's meaningless for you to stay in country if you can not do what you want. Your profession and your own whims and desires outweighs your love for country , religion , Deen , your family , your values , your culture , your traditions .. . Go and stay anywhere in the world where you can do all this stuffs . I heard prostitute complaining about her profession as well in Kabul ...as there is hardly any customer . You all will have to find another place in the world 😄....I guess your masters will take you back if they are hearing you. But your masters are dumb and blind , they have eyes but can't see.. but it's not the eyes that are blind , but it's heart can not perceive it.

No we dont have room here. Lets take care of Americans before bringing in more people.

[@anniefitzgerald4447]

@@Erich2142 Since when is America too full for immigrants escaping oppression?! That’s such a racist take. I’m all for taking care of Americans but we spent 20 years in a pointless war and we are finally doing the right thing and leaving. The Afghans who want to leave deserve to leave and come here if they choose to. After all, America is a melting pot of immigrants.

[@anniefitzgerald4447]

@Tina Marie I completely sympathize with your situation. I’m so sorry to hear that you have had to go through those experiences, it’s not right. The working class in this country is massively underserved and everyone deserves to make a living wage. However, it’s not the Afghan people’s fault that they’re in the situation they’re in. They deserve a chance at a better life, just like you do. This country definitely needs to help Americans, especially the working class, I’m not debating that. But this country started as a country of immigrants and that’s a beautiful thing that we continue to be that way. I really hope that your situation improves. I will be thinking about you and sending good vibes your way. 🙂
