YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMusic Bans will happen in Afghanistan and women will need a male chaperone if they travel alone for three days and recommended for women to "stay home" , Taliban leader says
A Taliban leader has announced that music will be banned in Afghanistan and women will be required to travel with a male chaperone, on trips that last several days, he strongly recommended for women to stay home even as he promises the Taliban will be more liberal than they were 20 years ago.
In an interview with the New York Times, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said while women will eventually be allowed to return to work and go on trips to school, and hospitals, they would need a male chaperone for trips that last several days.
And music will be banned in the country.
'Music is forbidden in Islam, but we're hoping that we can persuade people not to do such things, instead of pressure them,' Mujahid said. bans
Still, he said, things will be different under this Taliban rule than the previous regime.
'We want to build the future and forget what happened in the past,' he said, rejecting reports that the Taliban is already extracting vengeance on those who opposed them and are trying to reimpose the harsh restrictions on women that made them notorious when they first took control in 1996.
He suggested to the New York Times that the Taliban will let women return to their jobs in the future - as long as they wear a head covering - and said concerns that the Taliban would once again force women to stay inside or cover their faces are baseless.
During their previous time in power, Afghan women could only leave the house in a burqa - a shapeless covering which covers the head and entire body, with only a fabric mesh to see out of.
He also said that those with proper travel documents will be able to leave the country, and that his regime will not hunt down former interpreters and others who have worked with the American military over the years, but expressed frustration at American evacuation efforts.
'They shouldn't interfere in our country and take out our human resources: doctors, professors and other people we need here,' Mujahid said. 'In America, they might become dishwashers or cooks. It's inhuman.'
But, he said, he is still hopeful that the Taliban could build good relationships with the international community, saying they have already cooperated with international leaders on issues like counterterrorism, opium eradication and the reduction of refugees to the West.
