GLASGOW, United Kingdom—When the Taliban banned women from attending university in Afghanistan, Zahra Hussaini thought her dream of becoming a doctor was over. Now, she is continuing her medical degree in Britain.
“I can become a doctor, I can become independent financially and I can serve my family, my community to the best of my ability,” she added. Norgrove was a 36-year-old Scottish aid worker who was kidnapped by Islamist militants in Afghanistan and killed during a failed rescue attempt by US special forces in 2010.
The Taliban authorities have implemented an austere interpretation of Islamic law since returning to power in Afghanistan in August 2021 following the withdrawal of US forces.“They didn’t allow me to get my specialisation in Afghanistan,” said 25-year-old medical student Fariba Asifi, who is also now studying at Glasgow University.
