Schools for girls had barely opened for a new academic in Afghanistan before the Taliban ordered them to close.
A television crew had been filming a lesson in a class at Zarghona High School for Girls in Kabul on Wednesday morning when a teacher entered the class and ordered the students to go home.
The latter, who were rejoicing in their return to school for the first time since the Islamic fundamentalists took power last August, closed their books, packed their things, and left the classroom in tears.
“Yes it’s true,” Taliban spokesman Inamullah Samangani told AFP without further comment, confirming reports that the girls across the country had been asked to return home.
No reason for the closure has been given yet.
