Research done by Logar’s Civil Society over the past six months reports sexual abuse of “550 children and youth” from six schools.

TOLOnews reporter Sharif Amir visited Logar on Thursday and talked to abuse victims. He said: “The children and youth are not safe at school.”

A source said that the prisoner exchange of captured Haqqani Network members Anas Haqqani, Hafiz Rashid and Mali Khan for two kidnapped professors from the American University of Afghanistan, did not take place.

Three days earlier, President Ghani announced that the three Haqqani Network members would be “conditionally” released.
