Reply to comment by ToughQuestions9465 in G7 tell Taliban to reverse ‘reckless and dangerous’ ban on female aid workers by misana123

No, the vast majority WANT the current state of affairs. Only a very small minority living in the cities were anti-taliban. People have to remember that Afghanistan was a stone age society 20 years ago. We cannot force idealogical change.

A war lasting over 30 years in addition to the fact that they have kept the same societal values since the middle ages.

I'm gonna go ahead and say 50% of the rural population also is anti Taliban (women). But they have no power.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. If you watch some of the early 1900s interviews of women talking about the right to vote, a surprising number were anti-suffrage. An entire system of oppression cannot be maintained without participation from both genders. Maybe 50% of young women in Afghanistan are anti Taliban but women in general are probably not anti Taliban.
