Interesting article about cracks appearing in the Taliban leadership. Apparently the women hatred is getting too much for even some members of the Taliban administration.

I would so be there for that but I am in court (for protesting at an Arms fair) so would be in contempt of court but what's still happening needs to be demonstrated against.

(And our sisterhood is in deep trouble, not the good kind)

Should add I am not associated with this group, but on some thread (there are so many) there was talk of making more of an effort to acknowledge the work and activism of smaller local women's groups.

Footnote - I didn't know courts sat on a Saturday - every day on FWR is a learning day!

Apologies, I'm in court on the monday and a family funeral on the Friday - so my weekend is spoken for, not actually in court!

I'd like to go. Presumably it's expected to be quite peaceful?
