The decree, which calls for women to only show their eyes and recommends they wear the head-to-toe burqa, evoked similar restrictions on women during the Taliban’s previous rule between 1996 and 2001.
“We want our sisters to live with dignity and safety,” said Khalid Hanafi, acting minister for the Taliban’s vice and virtue ministry. The Taliban previously decided against reopening schools to girls above grade 6, reneging on an earlier promise and opting to appease their hard-line base at the expense of further alienating the international community.
That decision disrupted efforts by the Taliban to win recognition from potential international donors at a time when the country is mired in a worsening humanitarian crisis.“For all dignified Afghan women wearing Hijab is necessary and the best Hijab is chadori which is part of our tradition and is respectful,” said Shir Mohammad, an official from the vice and virtue ministry in a statement.

Disgusting.
Is anyone surprised?
If only the 'men' America trained, euipped, fed, and paid, and who outnumbered the Taliban, didn't cut and run immediately upon the Taliban's return. Sad.
Religion and religious folks are so weird. Believing in nonsense. Truly the bane of humanity
Coming soon to America, courtesy of the Republican Taliban Party.
Joe Biden’s BBB plan for women in Afghanistan - building back burqas.
Another step back. No wonder Afghanistan stays behind. Question I have is why should foreign taxpayers send money to Afghanistan.
What will American women be forced to wear by the Republican Party and their Supreme Court?
Boo hoo. Tried to help but they wouldn’t fight for change.
GOP approves!
