[KhaamaPress] A year after public sector female workers were banned from government work and forced to stay at home, the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... has instructed women working at Afghanistan’s Ministry of Finance to send male relatives to do their job.
Shortly after the Taliban seized control in August 2021, women employed in government positions were fired and given significantly lower pay to do nothing.
According to a report by The Guardian, the Taliban contacted up to 60 female employees in Afghanistan’s finance ministry and asked them to send a male relative to take their position because the pressure in the office has increased.
They made note of the years they had spent working in highly specialized positions and voiced concern and insecurity about the future.
The Human Resources division of the ministry called Maryam, a 37-year-old long-time employee of the Afghan finance ministry.
According to her assertion to The Guardian, "I was asked to recommend a male family member to replace me at the ministry so that I could be sacked from the job."
The Ministry of Finance and the Department of Revenue is an office that requires the employees to study related subjects in universities to be recruited; however, the Taliban do not want educated women to come to work anymore and instead introduce male workers.
After taking power last year, the Islamist group has enacted several edicts that restrict women’s rights and freedoms, despite initial claims that they would be more progressive than during their previous rule
Along with travel restrictions, the requirement to wear the hijab, and the gender-segregated dining policy, Afghan girls in some provinces have been prohibited from attending school for more than a year.
Maybe State can arrange for our illustrious Surgeon General to demonstrate sexual reassignment surgery techniques for those so chosen. It'll at least get
'it' away from our kids.

"...demonstrate sexual reassignment surgery techniques..."
I kind of doubt that will work, mostly because once they wear the full burka, nobody can tell the difference.
In a way, I feel sorry for all those young men who never know what a proper woman looks like, only that they are awfully hairy and sports an awesome beard. They might also wonder why they never seems to have kids...

A self licking ice cream cone? For the MIC and the neocons and jihadis and wannabe 'democracy thumpers' and whoever else wants in on this, to perpetuate. All at the cost of totally non-African taxpayers.

Democracy is big business, if you can get some champions of democracy to back you.
Promising to build a representative, inclusive and socialist utopia in exchange for NATO bombing your enemies to shit, then the IMF sending in 'tranches', the UN giving your headmanwarchieflead decapitator elected leader his five minutes. Oh my. The investments to come, the taxes to be flogged out of people, the parcels of land and resource to be auctioned off to China. And if anyone rebels at the tyranny, why Uncle Sam can be informed there's villainy brewing again. And there's always some lurkers 'observing' the situation, themselves invested on ground. Everyone wants to invest in a banana republic effectively disguised as Democracy.

The Americans corporations and their CIA jihadis are there to create the perfect conditions so their masters can takeover, feel sorry for the Africanos.
Eventually they will kick out the Americans and Europeans, and embrace the new Russian/Asian union
As I predicted few weeks ago the Europeans are starting to protests and they wants the Americans bases and Nato out of Europe …in time when their media will report about the real crimes committed by the USA governance, and then Americans will be hunted down , you will see. logicity

[HODHODYEMENNEWS] The Deputy Foreign Minister of theNational Salvation Government,
...that’s the Houthis...
HusseinAl-Ezzi, on Monday announced the readiness of Sana’a to stop all forms of defense if Saudi Arabia announced the cessation of its aggression against Yemen.
In a series of tweets on his Twitter account, Al-Ezzi said that “the war in Yemen is between Saudi Arabia and Yemen, and that the decision to stop it is in the hands of Saudi Arabia.”
Al-Ezzi referred that the aggression war on Yemen was declared on the eve of March 26 from Washington, and its fire was launched from several Arab countries. He explained that all Yemeni parties at that time were in Sanaa under the supervision and testimony of the United Nations in a political dialogue and there was no internal war at all.
He stressed that so far there is no war between the Sana’a side and their local opponents.. “They (opponents) have only joined an existing foreign aggression,” as he said.
[HODHODYEMENNEWS] Pro-coalition forces have on Monday launched a large-scale arrest campaign against citizens on the occupied Yemeni island of Socotra.
Local sources confirmed that in the past two days, the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC)’s militias have arrested dozens of citizens in Qalansiyah district, on charges of organising protests demanding the departure of UAE occupation troops from the island.
Last month, UAE factions launched a massive arrest campaign against the Socotra’s residents, in a move to counter the escalating popular protests against coalition forces.
Moreover, Emirati-backed forces have been accused of displacing local residents from Yemen’s Socotra archipelago in preparation for then establishment of a military base on the island of Abd Al-Kuri.
According to the sources, the recent displacement came after construction work began on the base, which is speculated to host joint UAE and Israeli forces stationed in the archipelago.
The displacements come amid increased cooperation between the UAE and Israel – who normalised ties in 2020, to set up a military and spy base on the strategically-located islands. This is in line with Israel’s ambitions to gain a foothold in the Bab El-Mandeb Strait.
[DAWN] Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday urged the Election Commission of Pakistain (ECP) to announce the "long-delayed" judgement in the prohibited funding case, previously referred to as the foreign funding case, against the PTI.
"For long has Imran Niazi been given a free pass despite his repeated and shameless attacks on state institutions. Impunity given to him has hurt the country," he tweeted.
The case, which was filed by Akbar S Babar, has been pending since Nov 14, 2014. Babar, who was a founding member of the PTI but is no longer associated with it, had alleged serious financial irregularities in the party’s funding from Pakistain and abroad.
The ECP had reserved its verdict last month.
The premier’s remarks come days after the PTI clinched a sweeping victory on 20 seats in the Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... by-elections. Subsequently, in an address to supporters yesterday, PTI chairman Imran Khan ...aka The Great Khan, who is the lightweight's lightweight... criticised the ECP for being biased and demanded Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikander Sultan Raja’s resignation over his alleged favouring of the PML-N in electoral battles.
Imran also claimed that his party won the by-polls despite the use of state machinery as he insisted that early elections were still the only solution to the country’s economic problems.
Following Imran’s address, PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz demanded that the ECP issue its verdict in the foreign funding case soon. "There is irrefutable evidence against you (Imran) which has to be revealed inevitably."

[DAWN] Ratings agency Fitch has revised Pakistain's outlook from 'stable' to 'negative', citing several reasons for the downgrade, including adjustment risks, financing, political risks and declining reserves.
In a report issued on Monday, the New York-based agency — one of the three major global rating agencies — also affirmed Pakistain's Long-Term Foreign-Currency (LTFC) Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'B-'.
Fitch noted a "significant deterioration" in Pakistain's external liquidity position and financing conditions since the start of the year.
While the ratings agency assumed the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) executive board would approve the staff-level agreement with Pakistain reached earlier this month, it saw "considerable risks" to implementation.
The agency also saw risks to continued access to financing after the expiry of the extended funded facility (EFF) supported programme in June next year amid a "tough political and economic climate".
Fitch also referred to former prime minister Imran Khan ...aka The Great Khan, who isn't your heaviest-duty thinker, maybe not even among the top five... 's ouster through a no-confidence vote in April and his demand for early elections.
"The new government is supported by a disparate coalition of parties with only a slim majority in parliament. Regular elections are due in October 2023, creating the risk of policy slippage after the conclusion of the IMF programme.
"Renewed political volatility cannot be excluded and could undermine the authorities' fiscal and external adjustment, as happened in early 2022 and 2018, particularly in the current environment of slowing growth and high inflation," it added.

Same people who occupy the seats at the Fed and Treasury. They just shuffle jobs back and forth between the coastal finance businesses and the government.
