Afghanistan: EU Parliament Member in Kabul Calls for Inclusive Govt

KABUL, 14 April 2022, (TON): A German member of the European Parliament, Hannah Neuman, is visiting Kabul and has called for the reopening of girls' schools and for the inclusion of all elements of society into the current Afghan government.

She said “girls going back to school on March 23 with hopes for the future being turned down with tears in their eyes, going back home, and some of these families literally used their last penny to allow them to go to school--buy these backpacks, buy these books.”

Speaking press conference on Wednesday in Kabul, Neuman expressed concerns over enforced disappearances.

“I heard many stories about violence, about violence against protestors, violence against journalists, about enforced disappearances, also enforced disappearances of people who just did their job in the administration, but with the new rulers taking over were not wanted anymore."

She called for the inclusion of other social groups into the government.
