Oh machang, I saw that news too — really sad situation. From what I understand, the Taliban banned women from universities and some students shared how they were turned away at gunpoint or beaten. It’s a mess over there, yako. _(In plain English: I saw that news too, it's really sad.

Ah machang, I saw that news too. Apparently Afghan students had a big protest or strike at their university, and some said security forces came down hard on them. Not sure about all the details, but from what I read, it was about restrictions on education or something related to the current government rules there. _(In plain English: I saw that news too, friend. It seems Afghan students held a university strike, and security forces reportedly responded harshly. From what I read, it was linked to education restrictions under the current government.)_
