BBC to start educational TV show in Afghanistan

In an era when we can learn almost anything from the internet but spend more time looking at memes and arguing, this seems oddly wholesome and quaint, if a disaster that it should be needed at all.

This should go really well, they love a bit of the woke multiculti LGBTETC stuff over there
Imagine reading an article about trying to help give children who are being denied an education an opportunity to learn and that ^^ being the best thing you could think of to say.The state of it.
A very kind and well intentioned move by the BBC

If you read that article and that's honestly what popped into your head you crack on.
I’m disappointed that’s the response to my request, if you feel strongly enough to moralise on the issue you really should take the opportunity to expand and justify.If you read that article and that's honestly what popped into your head you crack on.
For me it’s political interference from a foreign National broadcaster. That’s not saying that I agree with the situation and policies of the Taliban.

Not everyone has unfettered access to high speed internet. In an era when we can learn almost anything from the internet but spend more time looking at memes and arguing, this seems oddly wholesome and quaint, if a disaster that it should be needed at all.
Especially countries like Afghanistan where even if they had the infrastructure (they don't) it would be heavily restricted by their oppressive government.
Terrestrial and satellite TV broadcasts only require simple receivers and can't be blocked or easily interfered with.

I'm with you on this (though like you I find the Taliban repugnant). It's akin to a form of modern day imperialism, and I thought we were over that.
Yes, but we're finally using our powers of imperialism for good.ZedLeg said:

This isn’t even going to fix that, it just means that people who are being horribly persecuted have an opportunity to learn something.
I honestly can’t believe that people can find fault with this.
