This week up front tens of thousands protest across france against a new law that would restrict sharing images of the police. Our Civil Liberties under threat that is our debate but 1st after decades of violence a major breakthrough between afghanistans government and the taliban the 2 sides have reached a deal to begin talks could peace finally be possible just hours before the news broke i spoke to one of the governments only women negotiators house you koofi an afghan political veteran and nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize who some say could one day become the countrys 1st female president. Koofi thank you so much for joining me on outfront there have been 2 attempts on your life l. Z. The most recent by unknown shooters but the 1st by the taliban and your daughter witnessed both of those attacks u. S. Envoys says this latest attack was meant to be rail the talks how much faith do you have that the taliban will uphold their word in any sort of agreement that his reach. Youre right its very very early to say that you know the taliban have actually changed views and perception towards some of the realities of afghanistan in particular 2 worlds 2 wars women and especially vocal woman but in the meantime i know that the taliban are not and fortunately the only group that contribute to violence there are isis in afghanistan or diet or other groups militia extremist groups. In talking with taliban what were trying to do is at least many miles the level of risk that afghanistan have is facing not only in terms of the number of people that theyre losing lives but the opportunities that are being taken away from that country afghanistan is naturally on traditionally a very rich country billions of dollars on the ground we could be a potential economical hub between south and central asia but due to the war that has not been news so. Yes personal sacrifices is part of this process we have to really put ourselves into a situation to feel. Every victim of this war we have we have the terms of war in the negotiation table and i said you rightly have saved i have been personally attacked twice in the last one injured. But there are others who actually lost members of families due to the war or in the war i have lost members of family but lets think about thousands and millions of those people back home who in no way are the other are victims of war and in order to put a dignified end to this bloodshed we would like to with a willingness to talk with taliban i hope taliban will take our willingness for. Talks in a good well. Put some sense charity and you know. Knitty in to ending this war you talked about the fact that the taliban is not the only Group Responsible for the violence in afghanistan obviously that is correct is another part of the problem that even if you do get an agreement with the taliban the threat from groups like i saw remains it was just last month that i saw claimed responsibility for that attack at Kabul University that killed more than 1000. 00 people so even if you deal with the taliban there are still other groups that have to be dealt with. As i said before we. Certainly tolable not the major kind of. Extreme military extremist groups which have committed you know fighting not only in the villages but those when the big cities and kind of the attention of the government and our institutions are now shifted towards. Fighting with taliban and so if we agree on agreeing that. That we could have enormously. Political differences but lets live under one. Umbrella or at least in the same country and didnt i think that will empower our institutions to be able to deal with other vulnerabilities in this case isis. Or other military extremist groups that operate in the region lets talk about the u. S. Of course the u. S. Invaded afghanistan back in 2001. Public is losing patience with fighting wars abroad President Trump also appears to be bent on bringing troops home at any cost he has been willing to make concessions to the taliban and there are reports that the u. S. Has been pressuring your government to do the same do you think the u. S. Is really invested in a Peace Agreement or is it more the trump just wants to get out and cut the u. S. Losses. The idea was agreement would have been if the negotiations between United States taliban and taliban with the delegation from republic of iran is what are some of the public of one a son would have started at the same time which was almost 2 years back that would gave the delegation of republic a better position for bargaining but in the meantime we hope that there is no rush in terms of withdrawing troops under the circumstances that withdrawal is an issue but on the basis of the condition reality in afghanistan this is something that has been also stated in the us taliban agreement that the withdrawal will be based on the conditions on the ground but. In reality we know that there will be a major reduction up to 15 january our hope is that the new administration will clarify more in terms of you know how are they going to deal with the situation of their troops in afghanistan because the presence of the troops actually singles out or gave a single message which afghanistan which is an important geographical location and could be potentially a risk for the world if things go wrong as it did in 2001 well not once again be abandoned in a way that its once again a challenge for the world the security challenge so therefore we we hope that things will move on or shape itself in a situation where the neighboring countries the regional countries or those who are having an eye on the situation to reshape their politics will not use this ability but he said at the time that if u. S. Troops withdraw your government will simply collapse. I hope that they will draw will be responsible and not in a way that it collapsed resulting collapse of the institutions because we know from 1902 when the soviet. Troops withdraw from afghanistan in 1902 a collapse of the institution occurred so we know the money countries are willing to watch the situation and see how they can actually influence so we know that the immediate withdrawal without any tangible progress in terms of peace and agreeing on a political settlement well certain certainly did tell you that situation in a way that will benefit only military extremist groups groups not people of afghanistan you talked a bit about the resources of your country and the location i want to talk a little bit more about that because isnt a problem that even in a Perfect World that the United States withdraws all troops and pieces are stored in afghanistan that might open the door wired for russia china and iran and given the location and abundance of Natural Resources for your country are you worried that your country is simply in a vulnerable spot to have foreign influence and therefore instability to look asia enough of coniston time and again has been used the throughout the late history of afghanistan against afghanistan unfortunately we would like to keep a Good Relationship a bilateral. Relationship of Economic Exchange of Resources Exchange of you know using up understand connectivity capacities but in the meantime we understand that if there is no defined relationship between afghanistan and its neighbor in the region its neighbors in the region. Afghanistan could become a proxy battlefield and therefore i think its important that we continue to restore peace. Strengthen our institutions and then keep our ties with the rest of the world. For decades you have been a champion of womens rights risking your own life to improve the lives of afghan women and strengthen your countrys democracy as well something or enjoy a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize but when you look back at all the ways that the taliban has oppressed women often times violently did you ever imagine that you would end up at the same table as them negotiating your countrys future. 20 years back certainly not certainly not because i lived all my life in afghanistan including during taliban. And during the civil war and i know i have seen people. Losing lives in front of my eyes i have seen how you know women were treated the beaten up whipped in front of my eyes i have seen and experienced that life of brutality so to come to this situation where now we are equal rights holder citizens something across the table talking about the same country and the same interests the with very diverse and different views i think its a step forward and its a great achievement and the major part of that achievement the credit actually goes to the resilience and strength of the woman of afghanistan because the life for women of afghanistan regardless of where they work which position they hold or they are at home is not an easy life and even to being the negotiation table was not easy to be part of the negotiation is another level of women rights expressing their woman power strength because you really have to have shoulder to face some of those challenges so it is a very challenging life but the only hope or the only time we get a positive vibe to continue the extremely challenging job we have is the. The fact that we think of the moments where we could sit in our car in afghanistan. Drive across afghanistan enjoy the beauty without the fear of you know being shot as i was during august or being you know a fear of being whipped or. For your gender or even for our male part. Of the society that is the hope that actually keeps us moving something that we were deprived were deprived of see the beauty of of seeing the beauty of her country you know theres speculation over the years that you might become the 1st female president of your country you did run back in 2014 do you think that children again when they. All i always hope that afghanistan in order to demonstrative a different major of what it has in reality in different layers of the society ace to be hopefully one be led by a woman because you know if you look at that around in our neighboring countries you have you know leaders in pakistan you bangladesh india all do india is a different experience for example but in the muslim countries you heard women in the leadership position now i know it is a very extremely difficult path to get there i know my challenges but in the meantime during the time i have been in politics along with my other field. Sisters we have really tried to demonstrate passion honesty commitment under no circumstances that has changed actually no difficulty or no challenge has actually shifted our focus in terms of loving country and our people and trying to deliver and i hope and that is actually understood and appreciated by people back home now in the male dominated political system of afghanistan it will be very difficult to get to that level but that is the ultimate goal. Thank you so much for joining me on outfront. Thank you. More than 100000 people demonstrated in france this past weekend to protest a security bill but among other things banned sharing images that make Police Officers identifiable protesters and activists say the law would infringe upon Civil Liberties and worry its just the latest move by president crawl into a more authoritarian leadership style according to Human Rights Watch the bill could quote seriously limit the ability of the media and ordinary citizens to document Law Enforcement abuses critics worry that would mean police for not being held accountable for acts of brutality such as the beating of a black music producer videos of that beating went viral last week across government now says its reviewing the legislation the questions still remain about the intent and potential impact of such laws joining me to discuss this are along with skewer a member of parliament and spokesperson for president calderons ruling party law republican marsh and still contribute the president of Amnesty International and france thank you both for joining me in the arena the secy all want to start with you to organization has said that france is not the free speech champion it says it is and that the french governments rhetoric on free speech is shamelessly hypocritical even before the government tried to push out this law thousands of people have already had already been convicted for contempt of Public Officials basically this vaguely worded offense its meant to silence or at least dampen dissent somewhat the french government has also moved to dissolve an ngo that works on antiracism issues something amnesty has expressed concern about both in terms of this particular organization and just the Chilling Effect this could have on other in geos. This type of stuff you hear about in dictatorships how worried are you about what were seeing in france. Well i think its a bad sign that we are using this kind of language about friends in the either but as you know our constant reference being International Law we have to have the same recommendations and the same positions about france just like about any other country so of course who have expressed there is here is concerns about this Global Security bill but at the same time were making recommendations to make sure that ill call upon the government to be more respectful of frances commitments to respect human rights will be her and so i have to confess we have a kind of frustration of the moment because for quite some time now we have sent warnings alerts and also recommendations we have been the additions but apparently we havent been heard because we still consider that some fundamental freedoms such as freedom of expression freedom to inform but also freedom from civilians because in that field there are also a few issues about you knew the right to privacy so thats why we think there is a wider and wider gap between what the president Emanuel Mcconnell says and declares and the actual policy which is implemented or some bills that are proposed by the majority in france we have to make sure that policies are in conformity with frances commitment to respect International Law related to human rights so are allowing for their concerns that cecile and organization have your government there has said that this law is necessary to protect Police Officers from threats and attacks but im sure you cannot deny there are people in france that are concerned about being on the receiving end of Police Violence or Police Brutality and they fear this law would essentially provide cover for Police Officers who abuse their positions of power in just this past week or law the nation was shocked by footage of a Police Officer as brutal. Beating a black music producer michelle is a claire the officers have been charged with assault they are under investigation that is true but only because this video went viral if this law youve been pushing or in effect there would have been no video for people to see the what if the no accountability isnt that true no. If. It was built the images would have been available that would have been shot that would have been on there and that would have been leading to what happened which is not only does officer have been suspended and on destination and 2 of them apparently in jail there has been some understanding about the were trying to vote and therefore weve decided to go back on the drawing board on the phone but what were trying to prevent is Police Officers being threatened being named and shamed giving the address so that they may be the victim of personal francis themselves because then its being caught in th
