Afghanistan's Taliban rulers banned university education for females nationwide, as the hardline Islamists continue to crush women’s right to education and freedom.
Despite promising a softer rule when they seized power last year, the Taliban have ratcheted up restrictions on all aspects of women’s lives, ignoring international outrage.
Most teenage girls across the country have already been banned from secondary school education, severely limiting university intake. The United Nations is"deeply concerned" by the order, said Ramiz Alakbarov, UN chief's deputy special representative for Afghanistan. "There are serious differences in the Taliban ranks on girls' education and the latest decision will increase these differences," a Taliban commander based in northwest Pakistan told AFP on condition of anonymity.
