Before the 1st, the Japanese government issued an order to end the mission in order to evacuate the self-defense forces sent by the Japanese in Afghanistan to evade the mission. Kazutaka Sato (65), a journalist with a wide background who has been interviewing the area for more than 40 years, gave a telephone interview to Ten Sheng Daily News. Mr. Sato said in surprise: "the citizens also felt that if the US military withdrew, the regime would collapse, but not so soon," and worried about whether the right of ethnic minorities and women to go to school and employment would be violated in the future.

-is it expected to be controlled by the Taliban? From the time the United States decided to withdraw its troops, I thought things would be very bad. Earlier, many citizens of Kabul said: "if the US military leaves, the regime will definitely fail." In other words, the crab regime has almost no centripetal force. Coupled with corruption, the world has spent so much money for 20 years, but the local infrastructure is almost inadequate. Even if the US military drives the Taliban out, it will not do any good. The US military also mistakenly bombed a lot of people during the al-Qaeda Taliban raid. I think they are the reason for the rise of the Taliban. This is how it feels at the civic level. But I never thought it would be so soon. I am surprised that the crab regime is so weak. -some Afghan soldiers fled to neighboring countries. The Afghan army did not even adopt conscription. The people you want join the army, but basically the soldiers are volunteers. Speaking of soldiers at the grass-roots level, there are many people who use money as self-defense forces. Afghan politicians often say: "in order to protect their country, money, money, these are very strange." Even for wages, people in the army will put them in their pockets and will not be able to pay their own wages. So there will be no morale. There are many reasons, but one is the literacy rate. About 40%, but fewer soldiers can read and write. How do you send orders from above to below? I think what has been done over the past 20 years, including the army.
-acceptance by local residents. The main ethnic group in Afghanistan is Pashtun, about 40, 50%. I think there are a lot of "Taliban can do anything" in Pashtun. The Taliban is Islamic fundamentalism and Pashtun nationalism. He believes that "this country belongs to its own Pashtun." The Taliban, dominated by Pashtun, had the rule of "Pashturwali" a long time ago. Because this Islamic fundamentalism is combined with its own Pashtun law, there is no resistance for the Pashtun people to move in the direction of the Taliban. On the other hand, ethnic minorities are still oppressed, so there is resistance. -what could happen to the Taliban's control system? The residents are trembling. As friends, people who used to be government ministers have gone abroad. There are many people who can't go abroad, and they don't have a good relationship with the Hazara, so the Hazara want to go out. I tried desperately to escape with nepotism like relatives. -can you think of previous massacres and ethnic repression? I can think about it. When the Taliban first entered Kabul, they "will not retaliate" and "within the scope of sharia law". However, the Taliban's chain of command is not the same, there are moderates and militants. At the top of the Taliban, there is the hardest group, the Haqqani Network. In that case, I don't know what it will look like, and the above decision to reach the end of the chain of command has not yet been completed. What should the grassroots do? In addition, in the past, including school and women's work, film and dance, entertainment, such as music was also banned. Photos and images are also related to idolatry, all of which are not possible. In reality, men must grow beards, and women's clothing is a constraint such as Bruca (a veil for women) that is completely covered from head to toe.
The ink on the finger is proof of the vote. "my vote creates the future of Afghanistan," the schoolgirl's eyes looked directly at the future. What will be the rights of their women under Taliban rule? (2014 presidential election, courtesy of Mr. Sato)
How do you think the situation will work in the future? If the suppression of ethnic minorities, what will happen to the sectarian struggle with Shiites, and so on, does not seem to protect the rights of minorities, then the state will certainly not be established, but I doubt whether the Taliban have such ability. The inconsiderate meaning of the above is a big reason. Plus there's already a rebellion in the place. The son of the commander-in-chief of the Taliban, Mehsud, also said he would fight in Panjihir province. Panjhir is the last state that has not been suppressed, and it has not yet fallen. Therefore, if the Taliban are not very fast, they do not know which direction they will go. The longer the Taliban rule, the more you can see their nature. A lot of things have happened, such as intimidation of journalists. If such things become more intense, resistance to the fire is likely to rise. My yearning for Afghanistan. I have been interviewing on and off since the Soviet invasion in 1979, so I intend to know the good and bad of the Afghans in my own way. There are also many friends and acquaintances. Afghanistan is really a beautiful and grim scenery, but still hope to become a tourism country, but also the hope for Afghanistan. It's just the war. Because this is the earliest scene in a journalist's career, more than 40 years. It is impossible that the war continues. People born during the Soviet invasion are over 40 years old. Peace is really far away. It goes back to the repetition of 20 years ago, and I'm really disappointed. It is also likely to become a nest of Western terrorist organizations. Of course, it will be hated by the world. Peace is becoming more and more distant. -response from the international community. The international community is also watching. I think the issue of human rights is fundamental, so we have to decide whether to admit it or not until we can see the area clearly. At present, it is at a desperate stage on the issue of how to conduct national asylum. The future Afghan policy is in the fog, but it would be best if it does not become a base of Western terrorism. I think even if the Taliban have an autocratic political system, as long as they don't harbor terrorists. In this way, I think human rights will become a country that is neglected and abandoned on earth. Although I don't know if democracy is good for Afghanistan, I think the best country is human freedom to move, speak out and raise your own family. I think it will stay away from such a system. -what should I think? I always think that I have been doing this job (journalist) since I was young, and although the war in Afghanistan and all kinds of proposals have come out, I can almost bounce. The responsible person and editor have always said: "Afghanistan is a distant country." However, also living on the earth time, open the map is a few centimeters of the world. It doesn't take much time to fly. Although it seems to think that distant wars will not come to their own places, eventually there will be waves in Japan, including economic things. It is also unknown whether terrorist organizations and Islamic militants will carry out activities in the world. In that case, the impact on Japan will certainly appear. I think it is very important to understand what the world is like, not our radius of 5 meters. Although I don't think doing something like that, it's important to know that the same people are killed in pain and that there is a world where life is crushed without knowing it at all.
