Taliban spokesman Enamullah Samangani says women in a Taliban-ruled Afghanistan have no reason to be afraid, with citizens fearful of a return to authoritative ways after the collapse of Afghanistan's government.
The Taliban have declared an "amnesty" across Afghanistan, urging women to join their government, as US military flights evacuating diplomats and civilians resumed.After Monday's chaotic scenes at Kabul airport, the Taliban call for calm across the countryAfter the runway at Kabul airport was cleared of thousands of people desperate to flee, the number of civilians at the airport had thinned out on Tuesday .
"The Islamic Emirate doesn't want women to be victims." Mr Samangani said, using the militants' term for Afghanistan.He added: "The structure of government is not fully clear, but based on experience, there should be a fully Islamic leadership and all sides should join." The insurgents have sought to project greater moderation in recent years, but many Afghans remain sceptical.Earlier, Stefano Pontecorvo, NATO's senior civilian representative to Afghanistan, posted a video online showing the Kabul runway empty with American troops on the tarmac.
A special military flight with some 120 Indian officials separately landed in the western state of Gujarat after taking off from Kabul's main airport on Tuesday, the Press Trust of India and state TV reported.
