ATLANTA (Pajhwok): Former US Special Representative for Afghanistan Zalmay Khalilzad has said that some officials of the acting Afghan government have opposed the postponement of women higher education.
“Women's banishment from higher education by a faction within the Taliban is shocking and incomprehensible,” said Khalilzad.
In exclusive interactions with The Express Tribune, the ex-US special envoy added that there is nothing within Islam or in Afghan history to justify such a decision.
He further referred that distinguished Islamic scholars in Afghanistan and around the world remind us that education for women as well as for men . . .
