DALLAS — As the Taliban swept back into power in Afghanistan, in the summer of 2021, Fahima Sultani and her fellow university students tried for days to get into the Kabul airport, only to be turned away by gun-wielding extremists.
“No education, just go back home,” she recalled one shouting.

At least she's safer here. Taliban might just be more tyrannical about educated Females. As much as they are about former interpreters.

Excellent post. Thank You for sharing this. I think She's safe now and can go to school as well. Unlike it is in Afghanistan, where the taliban has destroyed many schools.
