If you watched the Taliban’s first press conference, you will
remember New Zealand journalist, Charlotte Bellis. She’s
the one who asked the Taliban how they plan to treat women.
Ironically, she now finds herself pregnant and ‘stranded’ in
Afghanistan…or is she? From her media interviews, you
would feel sorry for her and angry at New Zealand for their
hypocritical and preposterous rules that allegedly weren’t
allowing her to return home. But, as we dig deeper, you will
see that things aren’t exactly as she would have everyone
believe.

First, you will hear the background of who Charlotte is, what
she was doing in Afghanistan to begin with, who her boyfriend
is, what being pregnant and unmarried has to do with it, and
her incredulous story of getting special permission from the
Taliban to return to Afghanistan and be protected by them.
Then you’ll be driven to ask yourself: if you or a loved one
was pregnant, would you rely on the word of the Taliban
terrorists to keep you and your baby safe?

New Zealand does have unreasonably strict rules that make
it overly difficult for their citizens to return home, but they did
give Charlotte an opportunity-after she berated them on the
world stage. Hear why she turned it down. Then ask yourself,
is the Taliban using her for good P.R. to show the world how
kind they are to women? Or is Charlotte using them to for
attention and to advance her own career? Is anyone thinking
about what’s best for the baby? And what about the Afghan
women who are left dealing with the harsh realities of how
the Taliban treat them? Lastly, hear why I urge Charlotte to go
home NOW.
