The Taliban’s chief spokesman told local TV there had been “some problems and shortcomings for different reasons” in getting the ban lifted.According to Unicef, the ban has now impacted some 1.4m Afghan girls – among them, former classmates Habiba, Mahtab and Tamana, who spoke to the BBC last year.The hope they described 12 months ago is still there, but seems to have dwindled.”In reality, when we think, we don’t live, we are just alive,” Mahtab, 16, says. “Think of us like a moving dead body in Afghanistan.”Tamana – who dreams of a PhD – agrees. “I mean, we are physically alive but mentally dead,” she says.Girls were first singled out and prevented from going to secondary school back in September 2021 – a month after the Taliban took control of the country.Acting Deputy Education Minister Abdul Hakim Hemat later told the BBC that girls would not be allowed to attend secondary school until a new education policy in line with Islamic and Afghan traditions was approved, which would be in time for the start of school in March 2022.Image source, AFPImage caption, Girls are allowed to attend school up until secondary under the TalibanTwo years later, Zainab – not her real name – is among the 330,000 girls Unicef estimates should have started secondary school this March. She had held onto hope that she and fellow girls in Grade Six would be able to continue, up to the point her headmaster entered the exam hall to explain they would not be able to return for the new term.Zainab had been top of her class. Now, she tells the BBC: “I feel like I have buried my dreams in a dark hole.”Zainab’s father has attempted to leave Afghanistan, but so far without success. Officially, Zainab’s only option is classes at government-controlled religious schools, or madrassas – something the family do not want.”It is not an alternative to school,” her father says. “They will only teach her religious subjects.”For now, she attends an English class being quietly run in her neighbourhood – one of many which have quietly emerged in defiance of the ban in the last few years. Girls have also been able to keep up their studies by following courses online, or watching programmes like BBC Dars – an education programme for Afghan children, including girls aged 11-16 barred from school, described as a “learning lifeline” by the United Nations last year.Where to find DarsBBC News Afghanistan TV and radio satellite channel BBC News Pashto and BBC News Dari Facebook and YouTube channels BBC Persian TV FM, short-wave and medium-wave radio But Zainab and girls like her are among the more fortunate ones. When families are struggling to get enough to eat – as many in Afghanistan are – accessing online education is simply not seen “as a priority for their daughters”, notes Samira Hamidi, Amnesty International’s regional campaigner.The future for many of Afghanistan’s girls is “bleak”, she warns – pointing to the fact young girls are continuing to be married off when they reach puberty, and are further endangered by the Taliban’s rollback of laws designed to protect women in abusive marriages.And it is not just 13-year-olds being prevented from accessing an education. The BBC has found the ban even being extended to younger girls if they appear to have gone through puberty.Naya, not her real name, is just 11 but is no longer attending school in her home province of Kandahar. Her father says the government has “abandoned” her because she looks older than she is.”She is larger than average, and that was the reason the government told us she couldn’t go to school. She must wear the veil (hijab) and stay at home.”He doesn’t hold out much hope for the rules changing under the current regime, but was keen to stress one point: the idea the people of Afghanistan backed the Taliban’s ban was an “absolute lie”. “It is absolutely an accusation on Afghans and Pashtuns that they don’t want daughter’s education, but the issue is vice-versa,” he said. “Specially in Kandahar and other Pashtun provinces (where Pashtun people live), a lot people are ready to send their daughters to schools and universities to get education.”Image source, AFPImage caption, Afghan boys at a celebration to mark the opening of the school year this weekThe ban on a secondary education is far from the only change these girls are facing, however. In December 2022, women were told they could no longer attend university. Then there were the rules restricting how far a woman could travel without a male relative, on how they dressed, what jobs they could do, and even a ban on visiting their local parks.There are hopes, says Amnesty’s Samira Hamidi, that the secret schools and online education “can be expanded”. But, she added: “In a country with over one million girls facing a ban on their fundamental human rights to education, these efforts are not enough.”What it needs, she argues, is “for immediate and measurable actions by the international community to pressurise the Taliban”, as well as wider international support for education across the country.But until that happens, girls like Habiba, Mahtab and Tamana will remain at home.”It’s very difficult,” says Habiba, 18. “We feel ourselves in a real dungeon.”But she says she still has hope. Her friend Tamana is not so sure.”Honestly, I don’t know whether the schools will reopen or not under this government which doesn’t have a bit of thought or understanding for girls,” the 16-year-old says. “They count the girls as nothing.”Additional reporting by Mariam Aman and Georgina Pearce Related TopicsAfghanistanWomen’s rights in AfghanistanTalibanFemale educationMore on this storyBBC show is a ‘lifeline’ for Afghan girls, UN saysPublished14 October 2023Taliban stop girls leaving Afghanistan for scholarshipsPublished28 August 2023Afghan women escape for a chance at educationPublished16 August 2023Key moments in the crushing of Afghan women’s rightsPublished15 August 2023BBC helps Afghan children banned from schoolPublished1 April 2023’When I see the boys going to school, it hurts’Published27 March 2023Hopes fade as Afghan universities reopen without womenPublished7 March 2023Taliban ban women from Afghan universitiesPublished21 December 2022Girls’ despair as Taliban confirm Afghan school banPublished8 December 2021Top StoriesLive.

The gunman, who was barricaded inside his Burnsville home with seven children, opened fire as officers tried to negotiate with him.The dead officers were named as Paul Elmstrand and Matthew Ruge, both 27, and the paramedic was Adam Finseth, 40. The attacker also died in the incident, which followed a domestic abuse call in the early hours of Sunday morning.Burnsville police chief Tanya Schwartz said her whole force was “hurting”, while Minnesota Governor Tim Walz described it as a “tragic loss for our state”.State authorities said officers were called at about 01:50 local time (07:50 GMT) to the address in Burnsville, a city about 15 miles (24 km) south of central Minneapolis.They were responding to a “report of a domestic situation” involving an armed man, said Supt Drew Evans from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.The responders later learned seven children, aged two to 15, were also “barricaded” in the property. They went on to spend “quite a bit of time negotiating with this individual”.The attacker then opened fire, killing the three victims and inflicting non-life-threatening injuries on a fourth policeman, who was named as Adam Medlicott.Details of exactly what happened next are not yet clear, though Supt Evans confirmed that the police “did return fire”. Local media said the gunman killed himself. He is said by Supt Evans to have had “several guns and large amounts of ammunition”, and shot at the first responders from different parts of the home.He has not yet been named. He was found dead at about 08:00, which left other inhabitants of the home able to escape unharmed.
