Taliban Spokesperson in Turkey Calls Reopening Girls’ Schools Inevitable

Zabiullah Mujahid, the Taliban spokesperson in a meeting in Turkey, has once again said that reopening of schools for all girls in Afghanistan is inevitable. The girls in Afghanistan have been away from schools since the Taliban returned to power in August of last year.

Last year, he had promised that all girls’ schools would be reopened at the beginning of this solar year; but this promise was not fulfilled and girls above the sixth grade are currently banned from going to school.
