Afghan Women Warn Against Possible Deal With Taliban

Not everybody is happy with the thought. I notice this is a UN group.

"....Women from a United Nations agency, the Institute for Inclusive Security and other rights' groups told reporters in London that the progress made since 2001 should not be jeopardised by courting conservative elements....."

and

"...."I have great fears, and I am greatly confused," Homa Sabri, national officer-in-charge for UNIFEM Afghanistan, the U.N.'s women's fund, told Reuters.

"2001 was a very clear signal that there is no more room for conservative elements to rule in Afghanistan," she said.

She questioned how the international community could now regard dealing with these elements as acceptable, and how it could guarantee peaceful integration in a future government.........."

Well, there is always "Hope and Change".
