Gathering of Afghan clerics and elders ends with call for international recognition, but silence on country’s ban on secondary education for girls

Classes for girls were set to restart in March until a last-minute reversal apparently on the orders of hardliners close to the supreme Taliban leader Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada..

Classes were set to restart in March until a last-minute reversal, apparently on the orders of hardliners close to the supreme leader of the movement Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada. And in their final communique the clerics made only passing reference to the need for “religious and modern education” and to respect “the rights of women”. It did not clarify if those rights include schooling.

Akhundzada came to Kabul from his base in the southern city of Kandahar to address the gathering. It was his first known trip to the capital since Taliban fighters seized it last August.
