Afghanistan: Malala Yousufzai urges Taliban to allow girls' education

India Blooms News Service | @indiablooms | 19 Oct 2021, 05:43 pm

Islamabad/Kabul/London:  Nobel Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai has urged the Taliban government of Afghanistan to lift their ban on girls' education in the country.

The Pakistani activist for female education told BBC World News the current temporary ban might last for years.

She said: "It happened a month ago they announced explicitly that boys can go to their schools. So why can't they do the same for girls?"

The Taliban came to power in Afghanistan on Aug 15 after entering Kabul city.

They took control over the Afghanistan Presidential palace that day.

The Taliban announced the government last month.
