The War on Women in Afghanistan

I read an interesting article on “Karzai’s cynical war on Afghan women” in today’s South China Morning Post, on page A11 ( “Insight”).

This was an article from Sreeram Chaulia, a researcher on international affairs at the Maxwell School of Citizenship in Syracuse, New York.

Sreeram’s article was first published under the title “The War on Women in Afghanistan” on the web site “Opinion Asia“.

Do read this article which highlights some of the problems with the “mullahcracy“, those dangerous “self-appointed  custodians of morality”.
