'Nothing can stop us': Afghan female robotics team defiant after fleeing TalibanThe team became a symbol of progress in modern Afghanistan, taking part in competitions around the world. 'The Taliban have said women would be allowed to work. But reports from Afghanistan said bankers and employees of public offices were escorted by Taliban on their way home. They were told their male relatives could start working in their place.' Yes. Only the Afghan people themselves can make Afghanistan 🇦🇫 the country most people want it to be, not an outside power. We know it’s going to be a Muslim country and must accept that. How orthodox they want to be is also their right. That’s ridiculous! If you want to fight for your country, you fight from inside its borders not by asking for sympathy from elsewhere in the world! Hypocrites 👎
