Abstract

Afghanistan is a country torn in a civil war that has claimed thousands of lives. The Pakistani-backed Taliban rule two-thirds of the county with strict Islamic laws that have left women, children, the poor, and the old with little hope for a better future. Women are forced to wear the all-encompassing veils and men are required to have fist-length beards. The Taliban are fighting on two fronts, one in the north against Abdul Rashid and Tajik commander Ahamed Shah Masood. In Afghanistan, television and music are outlawed, people die of starvation, and there is no end to the war.

Abstract

International organizations providing essential humanitarian aid in Afghanistan should not suspend their operations to protest human rights violations by the fundamentalist group Taliban that now controls 75% of the country. Taliban's policy of closing girls' schools and dismissing women who are employed outside the home caused high officials at aid organizations to threaten suspension of their programs. Such threats have no impact on Taliban, which views these complaints as a very low priority. Suspending programs that provide essential aid would harm only those who need assistance.
