Stay at home if they don’t have a job .. the Taliban commander orders women to wear the burqa

Supreme commander of Afghanistan and the Taliban, Hebatullah Akhundzada, yesterday ordered women to wear burqas in public, in one of the most severe restrictions imposed on women since the extremist movement took back power last year.

“They should wear the chadri (another name for the burqa) in harmony with tradition, “says a decree issued by Akhundzada, revealed by the Taliban authorities to journalists in Kabul. The decree added that middle-aged women” should cover their faces with the exception of their eyes, as required by Sharia law when meeting men who are not forbidden “.

The decree added that “it is preferable for women to stay at home” if they do not have an important job abroad. During their first term between 1996 and 2001, the Taliban imposed similar restrictions on women.
