Astonishing scenes as a Kabul university professor destroys his diplomas on live TV in Afghanistan —
“From today I don’t need these diplomas anymore because this country is no place for an education. If my sister & my mother can’t study, then I DON’T accept this education.”

Last year in August, Afghanistan was recaptured by the Taliban two decades after they had been driven out by US forces in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.
After they seized power, Taliban leaders had promised a better and softer rule but their actions however revealed otherwise.
They made several restrictions on women and also made their way into every aspect of their lives.
Recently, the Taliban government banned university education for women across Afghanistan, which received widespread criticism.
In a letter, Minister for Higher Education Neda Mohammad Nadeem read “suspending education of females until further notice”
