"No Hope...": Afghan Girls Want To Return To School Amid Taliban Rule

The vast majority of Afghan girls continue to be barred from attending secondary school following the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, leading several teenage girls to feel their dreams and plans for the future have been "buried".
Afghan teenager Amena saw dozens of classmates killed when her girls' school was targeted by an ISIS bomb attack in May, but she was determined to continue her education.
Now, like most secondary school girls in the country, she is banned from lessons altogether after the Taliban's hardline regime excluded them from returning to class one month ago.
"I wanted to study, see my friends and have a bright future, but now I am not allowed," 16-year-old Amena told AFP at her home in western Kabul.
"This situation makes me feel awful. Since the Taliban arrived, I am very sad and angry."
