How did the Taliban gain control?

 
In April 14 2021, President Biden announces that the United States will not meet the
deadline set under the U.S.-Taliban agreement to withdraw all troops by May 1 and
instead releases a plan  for a full withdrawal by September 11, 2021. “It’s time to end
America’s longest war,” he says.

How Afghan government collapsed?


Taliban forces took control of Afghanistan's capital city of Kabul on 15 August 2021 , the
capture took place hours after President Ashraf Ghani fled the country. Most of
the provincial capitals of Afghanistan had fallen in succession in the midst of a US troop
withdrawal under a February 2020 US–Taliban agreement that concluded on 30 August
2021.

 Biden speech after takeover of Taliban


At the White House, Biden conceded the Taliban had achieved a much faster takeover of the
country than his administration had expected.
What are the rules for women in Afghanistan stated in a interview?
“We want to build the future, and forget what happened in the past,” the spokesman,
Zabihullah Mujahid, said in an interview with The New York Times.

Many of those changes involve women. Not only they have been free to leave home
unaccompanied. He added that the requirement they be accompanied by a male guardian,
known as a mahram. It applies only to journeys of three days or longer, he said.“If they go to
school, the office, university, or the hospital, they don’t need a mahram,” said Mr. Mujahid,
who also serves as the Taliban’s chief spokesman.

What happens to the women of Afghanistan? 

The last time the Taliban were in power, they barred women and girls from taking most jobs
or going to school. Taliban officials are trying to reassure women that things will be
different, but there are signs that, at least in some areas, they have begun to reimpose the
old order.

Can there be a change of harsh rules now?


A founder of the Taliban says the group plans to bring back executions and amputations.

“Cutting off of hands is very necessary for security,” Nooruddin Turabi told the Associated
Press.

The country’s rulers are deciding whether they will dole out these punishments in public in
the way they once did — sometimes at a Kabul sports stadium with crowds watching — he
added.

“No one will tell us what our laws should be,” said the former justice minister, who is
running the prisons.

Afghan military cannot or will not hold its own country.

“And an endless American presence in the middle of another country’s civil conflict was not
acceptable to me.”
