'International community should take responsibility for Afghan people', says former minister

Since coming to power, the Taliban have rolled back women's rights, especially in the areas of education and work. Those who protest risk arrest and torture.

"The international community, first and foremost the US and NATO, made a mistake in Afghanistan. Without any plan they withdrew and put everything in the hands of the Taliban. Now they have to fix it," Dr. Sarabi told FRANCE 24.

"The international community should take responsibility for the Afghan people and Afghan women in particular," she added.
