Afghanistan's Taliban rulers on Sunday began enforcing an order requiring all female TV news anchors in the country to cover their faces while on-air. The Information and Culture Ministry previously announced that the policy was "final and non-negotiable." "It is just an outside culture, imposed on us, forcing us to wear a mask and that can create a problem for us while presenting our programs," said Sonia Niazi.
