Although the government has successfully signed a ceasefire and peace agreement with the Taliban, the largest opposition force, Afghanistan has not been able to bring peace and stability to the local population.
Now more than a decade has passed, and the long-term presence of U.S. troops and NATO troops have decided to withdraw simultaneously on September 11, 2021, leaving more uncertainty and worries for Afghanistan.
The Guardian reports that although the situation in the country is unstable, Afghanistan is now relatively free and open to the people who have experienced the extreme rule of the bachelor of God, especially women, who cherish this hard-won freedom.
Basireh Heydari, a female student from Herat University, told the media, “The Americans are leaving, and we have to go back to our old life of fearing for the bachelor of God, fearing that this extremist group will take power again and forbid us (women) to leave our homes, get an education or go out alone. out of the country.”
Her roommate, Salma Ehrari, an economics student, spoke out against the seminarians, saying she hopes the world will see the truth, that the organization and its members are simply playing a trick on them and that nothing has progressed or changed in the past 20 years, and that “although they [the seminarians] use technology and Twitter, the deep-rooted extremist thinking is still there! It’s still there!”

It has been 20 years since the Twin Towers in New York collapsed on 9/11 and then President George W. Bush announced the invasion of Afghanistan on the grounds of capturing Osama bin Laden, a suspected terrorist.
Although the invasion was called an invasion, it succeeded in dismantling the reign of terror of the seminarians, but limited by the local power and tribal forces, the seminarians have never been completely defeated, and continue to hold many areas of Afghanistan, and even threaten the central government of the democrats, so that the local bombings and assassinations continue to be a series of cases.
The seminarians have always been a major problem for the Afghan government and the U.S. military, and after the withdrawal of troops, the outside world fears that the peace situation there will change.
Why is the withdrawal of NATO and U.S. troops so worrying to the local population?
In fact, in recent years, with the intervention of the United Nations (UN), the U.S. and many other forces, peace talks between the Afghan central government and the seminarians have continued, but every time there is talk of a peace agreement or new progress, it is accompanied by a new wave of bombings or attacks, and time and time again, the seminarians have become a veritable “shepherd boy” and no one dares to No one dares to believe in their commitment to peace.
The girls interviewed told foreign media that, because of their distrust of the future, their female schoolmates are studying harder, hoping to accelerate their graduation and obtain their degrees. More and more families are asking educators what the chances of the seminarians “returning to politics” are.
