'She has great aspirations for her future but is discouraged and frustrated'
If there was a promise from the Taliban when they swept to power last year, it was that they would bring Afghanistan's decades of conflict and instability to an end. For many, it doesn't feel that way. With a shattered economy, a humanitarian crisis and fundamentalist repression, girls and young women are being denied education. The Islamic State is killing and launching bomb attacks across the country. The Shia Hazara minority have been particularly targeted. Tim Franks spoke to Mohammad who lost his job in the Taliban takeover. He is an education specialist and a Hazara living in Kabul, and is the father of a 13-year-old girl who he's trying to teach at home.
