‘No, You f**king Idiot… They Just Laugh In Your Face’: UN Chief Complains To Taliban About Treatment Of Women

On Monday, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who apparently believes that words alone will make violent extremist groups abandon their ways, complained about the Taliban, whining to reporters, “I am particularly alarmed to see promises made to Afghan women and girls by the Taliban being broken. I strongly appeal to the Taliban to keep their promises to women and girls and fulfill their obligations under international human rights and humanitarian law.”

“Broken promises lead to broken dreams for the women and girls of Afghanistan,” Guterres continued, “Eighty percent of Afghanistan’s economy is informal, with a preponderant role of women. Without them, there is no way the Afghan economy and society will recover.”
One solution Guterres proposed: Give the Taliban money. He said, “We need to find ways to make the economy breathe again. This can be done without violating international laws or compromising principles. I urge the world to take action and inject liquidity into the Afghan economy to avoid collapse.”
