How are the Taliban governing Afghanistan?
It’s been over three years since the Taliban stormed to power seizing the capital Kabul. How are they governing the country and what is the impact on the people of Afghanistan?
Just over three years ago the Taliban seized Kabul and stormed to power in Afghanistan. They soon declared a new government which is still not recognised by any other country.
The Taliban claim they have made improvements to the country. War is over and, they say, there is more peace and security than before they came to power.
But millions of people are struggling to survive in the country, there is a restrictive rule of law that is imposed by a very hierarchical government structure and half the population need aid.
This week on The Inquiry we’re asking ‘How are the Taliban governing Afghanistan?’
