Local sources in Kapisa province say that a Taliban commander ran over a woman with a motorcycle, and she later died in the hospital.

In continuation of the Taliban’s repressive policies against the media and fundamental freedoms, the group has once again banned the broadcasting of images of living beings on visual media and online platforms in several provinces of Afghanistan.

Years have passed since that dark day; the day when Kabul witnessed one of the most painful moments in its history. The day when Farkhunda Malikzada, a young, educated, and faithful woman, was brutally murdered before the eyes of the people on the false accusation of burning the Quran. Later, everyone realized she was innocent, but by then it was too late. Farkhunda, along with all her dreams, was turned to ashes in the fire.

Following rising tensions between the Taliban and Pakistan, Khawaja Muhammad Asif, Pakistan’s Defense Minister, has said that the current situation concerning Afghanistan shows that the time has come for Afghan refugees to leave Pakistan after five decades.
