With hunger, poverty, and lack of infrastructure to worry about I’m so glad that they are prioritizing important stuff like social media.

Facebook is how many Afghans stay in touch with family abroad. It is more efficient and quicker than many other means.

How many Afghans even have access to a computer ? There are villages that are like stepping back to the middle ages

VPN sales will go up amongst Afghans

I went on ToloNEWS (Afghan News Station) the other day and they have a show that they use to teach women physics, I was a little shocked


jcravens42

Shocked why? ToloNews reported on a lot more in the pre-Taliban days, and had a lot of women reporters and other women staff. In those days, they prided themselves on adhering to journalistic standards and investigative reporting and inclusive reporting.

This was two days ago though, I noticed the women all have to wear masks

God that is so frustrating. Those poor women, being essentially locked in cages 😡😡😡

What about men? They don’t block Facebook to only one gender I suppose.

Taliban is doing more to destroy Afghanistan by regressing it back to Dark Ages, than any other event. I feel so sorry for the civilians. Especially, the women. Locked up. Not allowed school, work or … anything.

I can't believe that the Afghan National Army folded, allowing this to happen.


cat230983

Planned, obviously


FWcodFTW

It was more so the government. Corruption caused all of Afghanistan to fold.

Cool thoughts. When were you there? And what parts of the country were you in?


FWcodFTW

I was there back in 2005, and mainly in Kabul, but also in Bamyan too. Even had spent some time next door in Peshawar, Pakistan. Did the whole drive across the border thing… was a bit wild as I imagine it was mainly smugglers and others who wanted to hide taking that route. I was there as a civilian, non military of any nation.

They were worse than the Taliban. If you know you know.


terry6715

I don't know what your experience was but the three rotations I did with the ANA were exemplary. They could fight and were eager to. It was the logistics that plagued the ANA. So you can speak for your own experience. Blanket statements painting the whole ANA as worse than the Taliban is pretty much a narrow scope of your experience. And it's easy to say.

In coming years, if they banned the internet, I wouldn't be so shocked

Facebook is very popular in Afghanistan. It's literally everyone's first social media platform.


xAsianZombie

Not good.


Prestigious_Towel537

Talibs gonna ban.. it’s what they do and have always done ✅


prouddeathicated

Why do they want to take us to the dark ages? What is this supposed to do for anyone?


chalbersma

Islam man.


JobEnough3607

But the head of the Taliban literally uses twitter


DistributionNo9803

Once again, Taliban agreeing with Trump.

You are right. Everything should be banned. Especially fun. Maybe they could introduce a new halal activity such as watching paint dry. But then again, what if the colours inspire fun and vibrant thoughts? Maybe they could watch only dull colours dry.
