Raz said bluntly, the Biden Administration doesn’t cares about the fate of Afghan women and girls.

• Raz said she no longer trusts the U.S. government and doubts any Afghan will trust U.S. policies for a long time.

• “If you talk about democracy, I probably will question it and laugh at it,” she said, when asked if she sees America as the leader of the free world. “You were engaged in building one in Afghanistan, and the people believed in it.”

• She criticized Biden’s refusal to renegotiate former President Donald Trump’s deal with the Taliban, Biden’s deal that had no protections for Afghan women after the U.S. withdrew.

• She said Afghan security forces relied too heavily on U.S. technical expertise and air support, and crumbled when the U.S. withdrew after 20 years of funding and training.
