When the Taliban last ruled in Afghanistan 20 years ago, women were barred from public life and only allowed outside when escorted by men and dressed in burqas. Many fear the return of those conditions now the Taliban has retaken control of the country.
Kabul As news broke that the Taliban had captured Kabul, some images of uncovered women adorning the walls of beauty salons in the Afghan capital were painted over.
The Taliban says it has changed, promising that women living under their rule will have more rights this time around. But it appeared that the people painting over the signs were not taking any chances.The disappearing pictures of women were just one sign of the new reality Kabul woke up to on Monday.
