Afghan ambassador doesn't believe Biden cares about the fate of women left in country
Fox News
Adela Raz, Afghanistan’s ambassador to the U.S., said in an interview that she does not believe President Biden cares about the fate of Afghan women left behind to live under Taliban rule and said she feels a level of guilt for persuading women that there was a future in the country.
Axios said the Monday interview with Raz took place in her embassy‘s office in Washington, where she still flies the former Afghanistan flag. The interview was prior to the appearance of top U.S. military officials in front of the Senate and House Armed Services Committees, where Gen. Mark Milley, the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called the war a "strategic failure."
"The Taliban was and remain a terrorist organization and they still have not broken ties with al Qaeda," he said. "I have no illusions who we are dealing with."
Raz was described in the Axios report as "effectively a refugee representing a leaderless government-in-exile." The report said the Taliban reached out to her but she has refused to take the call and said she would never work as an envoy for the Taliban.
