CNN Reporter Forced To Wear Hijab As Taliban Takes Over Afghanistan [PHOTOS]
A CNN reporter, Clarissa Ward, was forced to wear the hijab while reporting for the news channel on Monday, August 16, after the fall of Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul, to the Taliban.
Photos of Clarissa before and after the capture of the city have gone viral as online users are shocked by the quick turn of events.
Recall that the Taliban declared the war in Afghanistan over, after taking control of the presidential palace in Kabul while Western countries scrambled on Monday to evacuate their citizens amid chaos at the airport as frantic Afghans searched for a way out.
President Ashraf Ghani fled the country on Sunday as the Islamist militants entered the capital virtually unopposed, saying he wanted to avoid bloodshed, while hundreds of Afghans desperate to leave flooded Kabul airport.
In a Facebook post, Ghani said he had left the country to avoid clashes with the Taliban that would endanger millions of Kabul residents.
