Dreading rerun of a nightmare

Afghan women fear they might re-experience Taliban restrictions

After the Taliban completely took over Afghanistan a few days ago, shivers ran down the spines of lakhs of Afghans, especially women. The restrictions imposed on women by the Taliban during their rule over the country from 1996-2001 have resurfaced. A 22-year-old Afghani woman, Nasiba Salehin, was a toddler when Taliban ruled Afghanistan the last time. The young woman who has completed Bachelors in Civil Engineering from Osmania University and stays in Hyderabad, Telangana, heard about the strict curbs imposed on women through her family members. The fresh graduate fears the dark times will return.
