One year after coming to power in Afghanistan, the Taliban's style has changed: they are "abandoning their military force" and are busy going to school
August 15 marks the first anniversary of the Afghan Taliban's return to power, and according to French media reports, hundreds of militants in the Taliban have returned to school to learn cultural knowledge, some have been asked by commanders, some have taken the initiative.
Gul Aga Jalali, 23, was busy planting bombs all night 5 years ago, but now he's learning English and computer science. Jalali said that when the country is occupied, what is needed are bombs, mortars and guns; Now, the world is changing, and countries need education, technology and development even more.
Amanura Mubariz, 25, joined the Taliban at the age of 18 and is currently studying at the private Dawat University because he applied to a university in India but failed the English test.
Mohammed Sabir, a fellow private Dawat University student who works for intelligence agencies, hopes to become an economist who will help the country, a desire shared by all Taliban students interviewed.
French media also said that there are about 3,000 students at the Kabul Muslim Academy, of which 1,500 are women, and about 300 are Taliban armed men. When they arrive at the school, they leave their weapons in lockers at the entrance and do not use force or bully people on campus.
They are also open-minded about women's education, calling them members of the Taliban and believing that women have the right to education and that such women can also serve the country.
But they are also facing a lot of difficulties, because a large number of elites have left Afghanistan, and the number of teachers in secondary schools and universities is seriously insufficient.
The Taliban, which is in power again, appears to have learned the lessons of its previous failures and is moving towards greater enlightenment and internationalization. The Afghan people have chosen their own path, and they hope that in the future they can follow all the way and walk out of their own bright road. （bear）
