Some religious scholars and tribal elders of the country asked the Islamic Emirate to immediately open schools and universities for girls in the country.

At a gathering in Kabul, they said that women's presence is necessary throughout the nation and that they should have access to education.

Over two hundred religious scholars and tribal elders from various provinces in Afghanistan, along with members of the Islamic Emirate's cabinet, attended a gathering today (Saturday) at Qasre Sapidar (Sapidar Palace) with the topic "The role of scholars and tribal elders in strengthening relations between the nation and the system".

"The committee's view regarding education is that the Islamic Emirate has paid attention to the needs of religious and contemporary sciences, but it should open schools and universities to girls and women,” said Mohammad Hashem, representative of the southern zone of Afghanistan.

“Serious action should be taken to provide women’s rights and their education in accordance with the Islamic principles and laws of an Islamic system,” said Mohammad Islam, a representative of the western zone of the country.

Some of the participants asked the Islamic Emirate to pay attention to the legitimate demands of the people in the areas of the economy, development, and hiring professionals in the government.

“We ask the Islamic Emirate to build water dams throughout Afghanistan so that it can raise the water level and alleviate the problems of the people,” said Abdul Hadi, a representative of the South East zone of the country.

“Every position that is announced, balance is not taken into account in the province, only Mujahid of the Islamic Emirate are hired,” said Abdul Ghafor, a representative of the North Zone.

The Deputy Prime Minister for Political Affairs, Mawlawi Abdul Kabir, and a number of cabinet members who were present at the gathering, pledged that all the demands and concerns of the country's citizens will be addressed.

Abdul Kabir added that the enemies are lurking to destroy the relations between the nation and the government and he asked the citizens to support the current system.

“We do not consider you apart from us in the 20-year battle, and we do not consider you apart in the current government. If our victims were shared, then the current system is also shared,” Kabir noted.

"The Islamic Emirate will accept the demands as long as they are in line with its principles. However, it is your responsibility to support and assist the current system,” said Mohammad Khalid Hanafi, the acting Minister of Vice and Virtue.

The gathering’s attendees urged the Islamic Emirate to focus equally on the provinces' development sectors and to not limit their views to one area.
