“And I was very much worried about this, because my sisters, high school students, one of them is in the eighth grade, the other one is 11th grade. And when I looked at them, how they were, because they were really doing great at their schools… And during the nights, I wept, and I couldn’t really imagine that one day they would not be able to go to school, which is their very right. And that moment earlier that the Taliban had promised to open the schools back, I was really relieved and felt really happy about it. But then that I learned that they have reconsidered their decision, I was so sad. And I said to myself that, ‘yeah, that’s not surprising. They are hypocrites.’”
