Taliban · Full chronicle and history

The Taliban authorities in Afghanistan have suspended the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC)'s FM broadcast service across the country on the grounds of "multiple violations," without disclosing the specific details of the violations. The BBC said that millions of Afghans rely on its news service and that it is currently in talks with the Taliban authorities over the matter. The ban remains in effect.

The Afghan Taliban regime celebrated the fifth anniversary of its return to power on August 15, claiming the restoration of national stability, but faced criticism from the U.S. Department of State and United Nations human rights accusations.

According to the latest estimates, since the Taliban took power in 2021, 2.4 million Afghan girls have been banned from secondary education, an increase of 200,000 from the previous academic year.
