Taliban force about 50 Afghan schools to close says news

Quote

The Taliban this week have shuttered or partially shuttered about 50 schools in southeastern Afghanistan, a bold display of the insurgency's power in a part of the country now at the center of the American war effort.

The closings apparently came in response to an Afghan government decision to ban motorcycles in the southern districts of Ghazni province. Officials in Ghazni outlawed their use last fall after insurgents used unmarked bikes to carry out attacks on civilians and local authorities.

The ban, which is supported by the United States and its allies, has drastically restricted the insurgency's movement, according to Afghan security officials, and added to existing friction between the Taliban and the government.

Militants responded this week by warning educators and families to keep children at home, Afghan officials said. The message spread quickly through traditional social networks. Of the 36,000 students who usually attend schools in southern Ghazni, about half have yielded to the Taliban threat, officials said.

"In response to the motorcycle ban, they spread the message through elders and mosques saying children should not go to school," said an official at the Afghan education ministry.

great.. as long as we grow tailbones we will be acting like Monkeys and baboons we got to evolve out of that monkey skin..
