Taliban in Kandahar to Journalists: Report in Our Favor

The Taliban's media center in Kandahar stated that Inqilabi likened journalists to Afghanistan's “defensive force” against what he described as a global “propaganda war” against the Taliban.

This request follows earlier meetings in several provinces where the Taliban's Information and Culture offices held joint discussions with media officials and journalist support organizations, asking local media to align their broadcasts with the Taliban’s interests.

The recent UN report covering the period from July to September highlights two new restrictions imposed by the Taliban on the media. These restrictions include banning scholars from participating in public discussions and halting live political programs.
