The Taliban came back into power after the fall of Kabul in August 2021, twenty years after a U.S.-led intervention ousted the group from power. Hosna Jalil was born in Ghazni province in 1992. She was the first woman to reach a ministerial position in Afghanistan's Ministry of Interior Affairs, at the age of 26.
