The Taleban think long term in Afghanistan

The Taleban are talking about opening their own schools in the southern Afghanistan areas where they have consistent influence and control.

Very definitely a PR move and a design to "educate" the children towards their viewpoint, but it also tells me that their presence there is secure enough they can plan for years ahead.

  • By their view, you mean the teaching of how god created earth and all of its inhabitants in one day? :)

  • Yes, but actually what I was unclearly referring to was their connected political view.

    (It's the same reason the US wants to set the ciriculum. )
