In his capacity as police chief, Mawlawi Zubair Mutmaeen oversees ex-Taliban fighters who have not received law enforcement training.

Since their takeover, the Taliban have violently dispersed rallies by women demanding to keep the rights they gained in the past 20 years.

A month after the U.S. left Afghanistan, public hangings and amputations are back as the Taliban enacts Sharia law.

Muhammad Hassan Akhund, who was installed as the acting prime minister by the Taliban, is designated by the UN as a terrorist.

The Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan and restoration of Sharia law threatens the rights of all, especially women and girls.

'There will be no democratic system at all because it does not have any base in our country,' the Taliban official said.

Days after taking over the country, the Taliban made an effort to portray a more moderate stance, by promising to respect women’s rights.

One Afghan woman told reporters, 'I can’t believe the world abandoned Afghanistan...Our women are not going to have any more rights.'

Sharia Law led to a recent spate of public floggings for what one Indonesian province said were violations of its moral code.

President Trump’s use of diplomacy here is a shrewd and prudent tool to jumpstart Afghan self-reliance.
