Afghanistan International: The Jamiat-e-Islami party has said that in the 1990s, the Taliban had set a precondition for banning women’s education and work to stop the war against the Islamic State led by Burhanuddin Rabbani. The party wrote that Rabbani had explicitly rejected the Taliban’s offer at the time, citing religious reasons.
