Face masks back in Afghanistan, not because of corona but in protest against the Taliban

The Taliban also ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001. They then ruled with an iron fist. The burqa was compulsory throughout the country. The garment completely covers the body and became the symbol of the Taliban regime. Women and girls were not allowed to go to school and they were also not allowed to work.

The Taliban said after taking power last August that they have changed and would respect women’s rights. But in recent weeks it seems to be moving more in the direction of the reign of terror of the 1990s. Even now, girls are not allowed to go to school. In addition, since November women are no longer allowed to play in TV series and since March only board a plane if they are accompanied by a male family member.
