Last week, a horrific bombing at the Kaaj Educational Center killed several people. According to the United Nations (UN), 46 girls and women were killed in the bombing inside a classroom. The death toll is increasing day by day. The UN took to Twitter and said “Our human rights team continues documenting the crime: verifying facts & establishing reliable data to counter denial & revisionism.”
Meanwhile, Afghanistan cricketers, Rashid Khan and Rahmat Shah have condemned the bombing. The duo took to Twitter and posted a picture in which a student gets exploded. Clearly, the image depicts the vile attacks on innocent students. Khan captioned the photo “Kabul, “DontKillEducation”. On the other hand, Shah also uses the same image but with a heartbroken emoji used in the caption.
