...and the leadership of the IEA orders its implementation, then the schools& high schools will be informed accordingly."
Note: #Taliban had over 6 months time to prepare "a comprehensive plan", but in my opinion, they are using girls education as bargaining chip for recognition.
#UNAMA reacted to the #Taliban's decision on the postponement of the reopening of girls schools in Afghanistan:
#TTP released a statement about the recent political developments in Pakistan, asking public to pay attention to the 2 key issues:

...making the country a battleground for American proxy war, inflation, unemployment, insecurity etc. This is our& your first duty to get rid of the Army. So if you can't stand side by side with us against the mercenaries of these dollar priests, then at least get your loved ones
...out of this dirty rank (PAK Army) in time& think about their future, so that tomorrow there will be no place for them to hide. 2. As you are aware, PAK Army is the real obstacle to the great cause of Pakistan (establishment of a real Islamic Government) for seventy four years.

General McKenzie, commander of #CENTCOM told the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee on March 15: 1. #ISKP poses a moderate to high threat to the Taliban& civilians. The group could establish an external attack capability against the U.S.& its allies in 12-18 months, or sooner.
2. #AQ will most likely continue to #maintain_a_low_profile under pressure from the #Taliban, which seeks international legitimacy. AQ likely still aspires to recruit& train, & if successful, restore an external attack capability against the U.S. & its allies in 12 to 24 months.
3. For the U.S., conducting CT operations in AFG from “over the horizon” remains difficult, but not impossible. Withdrawal of U.S. forces has exacerbated gaps in our intelligence. Reductions in consistent CT pressure potentially could enable VEO groups to pose increased #threats.
