Livet under dagens Taliban minner mye om praksisen sist de hadde makten. Det går i hengninger, stengning av skoler, amputasjoner, inngjerding av kvinner og segregering av kjønnene.

Men hvorfor er ikke mediene opptatt med å fortelle dette? I stedet er de fokusert på feilene ISAF gjør og faren for at egne soldater blir drept.

TALIBAN IMPOSES HARSH RULE OVER DISTRICT IN SOUTHERN AFGHAN PROVINCE.
Taliban insurgents are reimposing their harsh interpretation of
Shari’a law in the Musa Qala district of Afghanistan’s southern
Helmand Province, the Integrated Regional Information Network (IRIN)
reported on June 28. The militant group recaptured the district in
February after the failed efforts by then-Helmand Governor Mohammad
Daud to keep the Taliban out in exchange for a NATO withdrawal. The
Taliban has set up a special tribunal in the district that sentences
to death or amputation persons deemed enemies of the Taliban, a
source told IRIN under the condition of anonymity. On June 26, four
men were publicly hanged for allegedly spying for the United States
and the Afghan government. The rebels have also closed schools in
Musa Qala and women must wear a burqa and be accompanied by a male
relative when they leave their homes. Approximately 14,000 people
live in the Musa Qala district. JC

I det mørke bildet er det én god nyhet: Taliban har løslatt de 18 afghanske minerydderne som ble tatt til fange 24. juni.
