When the Taliban celebrated the Prophet Mohammad’s birthday in the western city of Herat on October 21, Sotooda Forotan was one of the speakers. Her name was listed to read a poem. But when she took to the podium, she delivered a speech instead, pleading with the Taliban to reopen secondary schools for girls.

15-letnia Sotooda Forotan miała przeczytać wiersz na obchodach Dnia Proroka, a zamiast tego wygłosiła mowę proszącą Talibów o dopuszczenie dziewczynek do szkół. Wśród 200 osób z publiczności znajdowali się również wyżej postawienie Talibowie. Nagranie zdobyło wielką popularność na mediach społecznościowych.

Talibowie powiedzieli Rukhshana Media, że począwszy od 6 listopada dziewczynki z klas 6 do 12 mogą wrócić do szkół.
