(ANSA) - KABUL, 23 MAR - In Afghanistan the Taliban have ordered the closure of secondary schools for girls, contradicting what was previously established and a few hours after their reopening.
This was verified by journalistic sources on the spot and confirmed by the spokesman for the Afghan Islamists, who returned to power last August, Inamullah Samangani.
A crew was filming the girls' return to school after months at Zarghona High School in Kabul, when the teacher walked into the classroom and ordered all the students to go home.
Many of them reacted to the arrangement with tears, the source says.
The international community has made the equal right to education for all one of the key points of the negotiation with the Taliban regime on aid and political recognition.
