NOURNEWS- “Gordon Brown” the former prime minister of Britain has recently called the imposed ban on education and working for Afghan women by the Taliban as a “crime against humanity”, furthermore he has requested that this crime must be prosecuted by International criminal court.
Attending a press conference on the second anniversary of the capture of Kabul by the Taliban, Brown emphasized: "Today, the international community must redouble its efforts to restore freedom of girls and women to go to school, university, work, walk in public places, and enjoy their rights, the international community must interfere and Initialize and end gender apartheid against girls and women."
Undoubtedly, no sane mind agrees with the imposed ban on Afghan girls and women to restrict them from education and learning, but the expressed approach by Gordon Brown deserves a lot of reflection!
Brown is the same politician who in 2009, after the forced removal of "Tony Blair" from power in Britain, continued the same warmongering policies of London in Afghanistan.
Brown, whose country's security apparatus, along with the US, played the main role in the establishment of al-Qaeda during the occupation of Afghanistan by the former Soviet Union, called the saving of the world from threat of Al-Qaeda as the most important goal and reason of his country's occupation of Afghanistan!
Now, after 14 years, Brown stands in front of the media's cameras and shamelessly laments what is happening to Afghan women and girls, without the slightest mention to the destructive role of his respective government for creating this misfortunes' situation!
It’s better for Brown to talk about his role and the role of other senior officials of the Labor Party during his time as Britain’s Prime minister in concealing the cases regarding the crimes of the British occupation in Afghanistan, before expressing concern about gender apartheid in Afghanistan.
Only between the years of 2009 and 2013, hundreds of Afghan civilians, including dozens of children and women, were killed and wounded because of British forces' attacks and operations. Beyond that, many documents of British crimes between the years of 2001 (the beginning of the occupation of Afghanistan) to 2009 and 2013 to 2022 have been destroyed or kept in a safe place by the security apparatus of this country and the British military.
In another part of Brown’s speech, he asked the international community to work towards providing education opportunities for women and girls in Afghanistan, he apparently has forgotten that how he and other senior officials of the Labor Party repeatedly opposed and resisted against the main demand of the nations of the world for ending the occupation of Afghanistan and clarification about the crimes committed by NATO’s forces in this country.
During the last two decades, the British authorities have covertly looted the rich and profitable resources of lithium mines of Afghanistan, as well as selling this country’s emeralds, Lapis lazuli, gold, copper, uranium and gas trough unofficial means in the world markets and transferring the revenue belonging to the Afghan nation to the treasury of the Britain’s government and the royal palace in Buckingham. None of Britain’s high officials have said anything about these crimes, so that the world would not be aware of the depth and severity of the blow which London has inflicted against Afghanistan’s security and economy.
