(ANSA) - ROME, AUGUST 17 - The Taliban promise an amnesty and invite women to join the government, "but according to the rules of Sharia", Islamic law. Enamullah Samangani, a member of the Insurgent Culture Commission, says this, quoted by the Associated Press, in one of the first indications of how the Italians, victorious on the military level, intend to govern Afghanistan.
A statement that seems to indicate a moderate turn of the 'Islamic students', once perpetrators of stoning of women, mutilations and executions in the streets, but which is received with skepticism by many Afghans and international observers.
"The Islamic Emirate does not want women to be victims - said Samangani -. They should be part of the government, according to the dictates of Sharia",but he hasn't made it clear what that means.
"All sides should join" the future government, he added. He then evoked an amnesty, but even in this case without clarifying who would benefit: some sources in Kabul say that the Islamic fighters have already drawn up lists of Afghans who have cooperated with foreign forces and for these searches.
