Islamisbad

 

From Anarchist Front

Here, in the 17th district of Kabul, two girls' bodies are wrapped in white cloth. The whiteness of the shroud, this time not of ritual, but the signature of a predatory regime on bodies that had been plundered many times before their deaths. They were not killed to punish; they were killed to register ownership, to mark the boundaries of property. In the Taliban's logic, a woman who does not submit to forced marriage, a woman who was previously in the clutches of a willing or unwilling spouse and now the armed Taliban wants her for themselves, a woman whose existence, in the eyes of this armed group, is an ownerless land, is to be eliminated.
