Afghanistan risks becoming a forgotten crisis unless the Taliban reopens schools for girls, UN's development agency warns
While the UN is willing to help resolve any"technical constraints" to help girls resume their education, further delays could lead to Afghanistan being ignored, UNDP chief said.
Further delays in starting classes not only harms the girls' future, but risks Afghanistan being ignored, Achim Steiner said on Tuesday. If there were any "technical constraints" in reopening the schools the UN will make it a "top priority" to resolve them, Steiner said. They have not explained the reason for their dramatic U-turn, but senior leader Suhail Shaheen said there were "practical issues" that needed to be resolved.
