International Current Affairs MCQs News
6. Taliban ban university education for girls
• The Taliban authorities on December 20, 2022 ordered a nationwide ban on university education for females, as the hardline Islamists continue to crush Afghan women`s right to education and freedom.
• Despite promising a softer rule when they seized power last year, the Taliban have ratcheted up restrictions on all aspects of women`s lives, ignoring international outrage.
• `You all are informed to immediately implement the mentioned order of suspending education of females until further notice,` said a letter issued to all government and private universities, signed by the Minister for Higher Education, Neda Mohammad Nadeem
7. Fiji`s strongman on way out after 16 years

• The Social Democratic Liberal Party (SODELPA), a power-broker holding three seats in the hung parliament, announced on December 20, 2022 it had decided to form a coalition with Sitiveni Rabuka`s People`s Alliance and the National Federation Party.
• The decision came after two days of deliberations and rival presentations by former Prime Minister Bainimarama and the People`s Alliance party, after a national election last week resulted in a deadlock. At a livestreamed news conference, Rabuka thanked the people of Fiji. `They have voted for change and we have given them that,` he said
8. Gambian body blames Indian firm for 70 child deaths

• The `Baghdad II` meeting in Jordan, which also included officials from France and the European Union, followed an August 2021 summit in Iraq`s capital organised at the initiative of French President Emmanuel Macron
10. London`s Arabic bookshop to shut after 45 years
• Salwa Gaspard gazes fondly at the hundreds of Arabic-language books displayed on dark wooden shelves, putting some back in place while exchanging a few words with customers.
• In just a few days` time, her London bookshop, known to literary enthusiasts throughout the Middle East, will close for good.
