Don’t Let Afghanistan Be Graveyard of Our Dreams, Says Afghan Girls Robotics Team Leader

According to reports, at least 10 cafes in the PD 18 have been sealed.

During the past several years, cafes have become the main hub for youth in Kabul and other major Afghan cities to connect.

In many cases, cultural programmes, book review sessions, and book readings have been held at these cafes.

With the takeover of power by the Taliban in August 2021, many cultural centers, cafes, and small businesses ceased to operate in Kabul and other cities across Afghanistan.

These Afghan women protested against the killing of Mehsa Amini, an Iranian woman who had died, after being tortured by the morality police in Iran.

A statement published on social media in support of Iranian women includes a list of Afghan female activists.

The statement stressed that Afghan women’s suffering isn’t different from the suffering of thousands of other Iranian women who have always fought against one of the leaders of the Islamic republic and have been repressed in the most severe ways possible.

These women have said that with the slogan, "death to the Taliban, whether in Kabul or in Tehran", they declared their solidarity with the women of Iran.

The UN office stressed that the Taliban’s investigation of the cold-blood killings must be transparent in order to be taken seriously and said that UNAMA continues to track Panjshir developments.

UNAMA confirmed the credibility of the killings in Panjshir a week after the Taliban published video clips of the cold-blood killing of the National Resistance Front Forces detained by the group in Panjshir.

In one of these videos, a picture of a Panjshiri father and son had also been published, who was first captured and then shot dead by the Taliban.

At the same time, Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesperson of the Taliban, had announced that the group had killed around 40 members and arrested over 100 fighters of the National Resistance Front.

He said that United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) will support Afghan girls to attend secondary school in Afghanistan.

Earlier, on the first anniversary of the closure of secondary schools for girls in Afghanistan, Potzel had said that the continuous exclusion of Afghan girls from school had no valid justification.

He had stressed that nowhere in the world do girls face such a situation.

According to the UN official, the closure of schools was harmful for the coming generation of girls and for the future of Afghanistan.

In the past week, pictures and videos have been published on social media showing that the Taliban killed the National Resistance Front forces taken captive in coldblood.

At the same time, Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesperson of the Taliban, had announced that the group had killed around 40 and arrested over 100 fighters of the National Resistance Front.

In one of these videos, a picture of a Panjshiri father and son had also been published, who was first captured and then shot by the Taliban.
