Afghan TV anchor, Beheshta Arghand, who made history by interviewing a Taliban spokesman on air has left the country. CNN reported that Arghand, a female anchor at TOLO, interviewed a senior Taliban representative on the air. The interview garnered headlines around the world. Two days later, Arghand did it again, interviewing Malala Yousafzai, in what TOLO described as the first time Yousafzai had ever been interviewed on Afghan TV.
