KABUL: Days before the first anniversary of the Taliban’s return to power, Taliban fighters forcefully dispersed a rare gathering in the Afghan capital on Saturday by beating women protestors and firing into the air.
The Taliban have reversed the slight advancements gained by women throughout the two decades of US operations in Afghanistan since taking power on August 15 of last year.
About 40 women marched in front of the education ministry building in Kabul while chanting “food, work, and freedom,” but the fighters scattered them by shooting their weapons into the air.
