This is Malalai Joya’s speech at the Loya Jirga in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

This is a young woman, in a land where women were little more than chattels (and today are little better than chattels), who called for the prosecution of the Afghan war lords, in a gathering they were a part of.<\/p>\n

These same war lords who were previously indirectly responsible for the Taliban coming to power. <\/p>\n

Because, compared to them the Taliban were an improvement. They were a more secure order. <\/p>\n

It’s hard to imagine a regime that the Taliban could be an improvement of. <\/p>\n

Suffice to say it involved capricious and regular crushing of people under tanks as a form of entertainment. OK, that doesn’t suffice in of itself, but you can image why people wanted change…<\/p>\n

This is Malalai Joya’s speech at the Loya Jirga.<\/p>\n

Can you imagine the courage it took to make it, the real dedication to her humanitarian and kind beliefs?<\/p>\n

We come from societies that worship, habituate, and apologise Men With Guns; but if there is one thing that must be axiomatic in the search for justice, and freedom, it is this: that those who are willing to stand up for it, without the cowardly retreat into gunpowder and testosterone-originated force, or any other brute domination of others, are the braver.<\/p>\n
