- Description
The cartoon shows a Taliban tribesman holding a sword with which he has cut off the nose of a woman who kneels bleeding on the ground behind him. Text reads 'Ladies, don't cut off your nose to spite your face... Let us do it for you... ' Further text reads 'The Taliban; working for a better yesterday.' Refers to the recent case of a young woman named Aisha who was a victim of Taliban brutality, her nose and ears barbarically hacked off by her own husband in a warped punishment for attempting to flee her cruel in-laws. Aisha's photograph has been put on the cover of Time Magazine with the headline 'What happens if we leave Afghanistan.'
