mystic poets, rumi. now it's under taliban control. we came through here a little earlier this year. back then, it was still under government control. now it's one of around 200 district centres taken by the taliban. schools are open here, though in other taliban areas, girls are reportedly prevented from attending. the market is still busy. women have apparently been allowed to come here without male companions, if they need to. but elsewhere, taliban commanders have reportedly banned them. this man is a local taliban leader. despite what i have been told, he insists they haven't made the burqa compulsory. you said that women have to wear the burqa? that's right, isn't it?
