The people are mired in misery, living under oppression, suppression, discrimination, and injustice. Poverty, unemployment, and hopelessness are rampant, and millions of our compatriots have become refugees and displaced persons. Women, who constitute half of society, have been deprived of all human, civil, political, and social rights. Schools and universities have been closed to girls. Freedom of expression has vanished, and any criticism or opposition to the Taliban regime is harshly suppressed and punished.
The most dangerous programs of the Taliban are their cultural hostility, misogyny, and promotion of extremism and Talibanization. While thousands of schools and educational institutions have been closed to the children of this country, thousands of Taliban madrassas have been established and are actively operating across Afghanistan. In these so-called Islamic schools, children are subjected to military training, brainwashing, and indoctrination with extremist ideologies. Their sinister and evil goal is to promote extremism and expand future terrorist activities beyond Afghanistan's borders. Furthermore, thousands of terrorists, including al-Qaeda, ISIS, and groups opposing neighboring countries, have gathered in Afghanistan, establishing secure bases under Taliban protection and planning future activities. This undoubtedly poses a serious threat to global peace and security. It is also likely that future terrorist incidents, similar to the 9/11 attacks, will be organized from these bases.
Given the aforementioned points, Afghanistan has become an open-air prison where no individual feels safe. It should be noted that as long as the doors of schools and universities—these centers of knowledge and enlightenment—remain closed, ignorance and illiteracy will spread, and society will be led blindly into the darkness of medieval extremism. Consequently, the enemies of knowledge and understanding exploit this chaotic situation to recruit uneducated individuals easily for their evil and terrorist activities. It must be acknowledged that the Afghan people have endured various forms of oppression and psychological and social pressure. However, they cannot tolerate the deprivation of their children's right to education, which has lasted for more than a thousand days, without any religious, legal, or scientific justification. Therefore, they are deeply concerned about the dark future of their children. Despite the repeated and continuous demands of the Afghan people, the current illegitimate Taliban rulers ignore this rightful and legitimate request of the people. Unfortunately, in such dire and crisis-ridden conditions, the world also does not heed the voice of our oppressed people. Human rights organizations limit themselves to reporting, and the repeated meetings of the United Nations, the issuance of resolutions, declarations, sanctions, and condemnations have so far been ineffective and have not alleviated the suffering. The Afghan people are therefore desperate and deeply troubled by this chaotic situation. It is now evident to everyone, and the Afghan people are fully aware, of who stands behind the Taliban's plans and which entities and countries provide them with weekly dollar aid to sustain their rule.
Therefore, the Afghan people look to their last source of hope, the United States of America, which claims to support justice, freedom, democracy, and human rights globally. They sincerely request the President of that country to help change the current situation in Afghanistan, especially to reopen the doors of schools and universities for girls and restore women's rights. They urge pressure on the Taliban, this criminal group, and human rights violators to comply with the will of the Afghan people. Otherwise, if this fundamental and vital demand of the Afghan people is not adequately addressed, the foreign policy of the U.S. regarding the support of justice, democracy, and human rights will be questioned, potentially damaging the global reputation and prestige of the United States in the long term.
The Afghan people hope for a change in the current situation in their country, to regain control of their destiny, restore all civil rights and freedoms, and regain their rightful place as a free, independent country and an equal member of the global human community.
With respect,
