Can't take this out of my mind. What is happening in Afghanistan right now is so gut wrenching. The locals almost mobbed the city’s airport trying to flee...some managed to escape, many could not, and these three men met their death in the most horrific way.
During their earlier rule, Taliban forbade the right to education and right to work for women and refused them to step outside their homes without a male relative.
Since they've gained control, the burqa shops in Kabul are seeing increase in sales and there is looming fear. But the younger women in universities and women journalists are determined to not give in and stand up for their rights. Many reports emerging from Afghanistan show fearless women standing firm against the Taliban, some actually standing in front of a gun pointing at them, to uphold their personal rights and liberties. They are giving tough resistance to the Taliban in several cities.
