The current situation in Afghanistan under the rule of the Taliban
Text Size

1. What is the current situation under the Taliban?

The situation in Afghanistan during the previous Republic was also oppressive, but with the rise of the Taliban, it has become worse and unbearable.
Assessing the situation from an economic point of view, it is miserable because there is no economic infrastructure and the state relied on massive global aid in the presence of international coalition forces for 20 years. With their withdrawal and cut or reduction of this economic support, the labor market and the economic turnaround collapsed. The Taliban offered wheat in exchange for the people’s work which is really ridiculous. It is impossible for humans to make a living with grain in exchange for work in today’s urban life.
From a security perspective, the situation in Afghanistan during the current Taliban era relies on the suppression and dissemination of fear among Afghan citizens.
The lack of a comprehensive political system has suffocated Afghans’ hope for the future.
Unfortunately, with the arrival of the Taliban and their occupation of the country, little space for education and learning we had is taken away. Because people do not have psychological and physical security, they cannot go to educational centers for fear of the Taliban. Unfortunately, when people in a society do not have physical and psychological safety, no creativity occurs there. Because every activity requires the physical and mental wellness of human beings, no one grows in such a society, and we will see a paralyzed community.

 

2. I am very curious about their process of establishing bureaucratic authority through government and the military.

The bureaucratic political system that has developed over the last 20 years has been highly costly; I do not think the Taliban can afford all those expenses in the long run.
At the time of the Republic, the Americans paid $3-4 billion a year for the US Army, but the army did not succeed in advancing the war.
With this disintegrated economy and relying on domestic revenues, the Taliban can not build such a structure and army in Afghanistan and are forced to build a simple, low intensity, traditional bureaucratic system. For several reasons, much of American equipment that has fallen into the hands of the Taliban do not last long. Helicopters left by the Americans to the Taliban cannot be repaired in neighboring countries or seemingly allied nations to the Taliban. These types of equipment must be repaired in NATO countries because the technology and the repair apparatus exist there, and the Americans will not allow the Taliban to do otherwise. Therefore, using these helicopters and equipment for the Taliban will be very costly and challenging, so they can not use them. With the support and cooperation of Russia, China, Pakistan, or Iran, they may be able to form at least one bureaucratic system with financial assistance and equipment they receive through these channels.

 

3- Do they rule all the societies of Afghanistan or is there still some self-governance?

The Taliban are more successful inside Afghanistan than the previous government because Afghanistan’s political and military developments always begin from the rural areas and neighborhoods and then cities. Taliban has powerful influence and absolute sovereignty in Afghanistan’s rural districts and communities.
Taliban are currently facing a series of threats in the north of the country and some other cities.
Although the Taliban has more influence among the people than ever before, there are groups that operate openly or covertly against the Taliban regime, such as women’s street movements and activities on social media. The Resistance Front is also present in several provinces and practically fights the Taliban in a military war. Similarly, some newly formed groups are announcing their opposition to the Taliban. According to the self-government, this is quite natural because Afghanistan has a diverse culture, and the Taliban’s extremist laws are not acceptable to the people, and self-government arises spontaneously.

4. Do you think it is right to call the Taliban government the government of the theocratic fascists?

The Taliban can be considered primarily a religious group rather than an ethnic one.

The composition of the Taliban government is mainly Pashtun, but in some of their ranks, there are also prominent Uzbek and Tajik commanders.

And, of course, the Taliban is a kind of fascist regime, oppressing all ethnic groups and oppressing them in the same way. The activists get murdered by the Taliban, whether they are from the north or the south of the country. Also, the military members of the former government killed by Taliban were from across all Afghanistan and all ethnicities.
