Almost half of female Afghan MPs and senators are now living in Greece where they will continue to campaign for women’s rights in Afghanistan, as well as supporting the resettlement of refugees, reports Independent.

Afghanistan has been witnessing a massive political crisis since former President Ashraf Ghani escaped the country as Taliban insurgents entered Kabul in mid-August.

The Taliban took control of the country on Aug 15 as they entered the Presidential palace.

The insurgents had begun capturing regions in the country at a lightning speed as soon as the US-led foreign forces started leaving Afghanistan.
