(ANSA) – KABUL, FEBRUARY 26 – The largest university in Afghanistan was reopened today, six months after the takeover by the Taliban, but very few female students, separated from male students, attended classes. The public universities of six provinces had already reopened on February 2nd. All the others have resumed today, like that of Kabul, the oldest and largest in the country which had about 25 thousand students enrolled before the return of the Islamic fundamentalists last August 15. In the capital, Taliban guards denied reporters access to the vast campus and chased anyone who lingered near the entrances.
“I am happy that the university has resumed, we want to continue our studies,” said an English student, who asked to be identified as Basira, pointing out that some students have been admonished by the Taliban for bringing cell phones to class. (HANDLE).
