Australia’s Pledge, The Taliban’s Punishment Code – OpEd

In the new Australian promise of giving fifty million dollars in humanitarian aid to Afghanistan, it is geared toward saving lives of people with a particular target of saving women and girls and necessities. It is significant, as hunger, displacement and avoidable disease will not wait until the politics time. The oath however is lost in the moral fog: the same, who are the forces to be, are putting repression into statute even as the world is opening aid that would be of most benefit to most of the victims of the said repression.
