Woman to rule Afghan province
Associated Press in Kabul
Wednesday February 16, 2005
The Guardian

President Hamid Karzai is preparing to appoint Afghanistan's first female provincial governor, his spokesman said yesterday, in another step towards reviving women's rights trampled by the former hardline Taliban government.

An all-female shortlist including the former women's minister Habiba Sarobi has been drawn up for the governorship of central Bamiyan province, presidential spokesman Jawed Ludin said, though no decision has been taken.

"One of those ladies will be the governor of Bamiyan," Mr Ludin said at a news conference. "If a woman is able to do the job, the law says we can appoint her."

Ms Sarobi said she had discussed the position with Mr Karzai after rejecting his suggestion that she become an Afghan ambassador abroad.
