Watch: Afghan girls heartbroken as Taliban shuts down schools for girls hours after reopening
Secondary schools for girls reopened on Wednesday for the first time since August 2021, when the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan for the second time.

Afghsn girls crying after discovering the ban on their education continues. The Taliban had promised they would be able to return to their schools today. A broken promise. Cruel to put these teenage girls through this #LetAfghanGirlsLearn pic.twitter.com/rMZtixxtwF

The world must not forget #Afghanistan We cannot ignore the bravery of Afghan girls protesting Taliban. These girls have been locked out of school, and denied their most basic human right to have an education. Stand by #AfghanWomen (video via @heatherbarr1 ) pic.twitter.com/pnMsT1lguX
