Kunduz in Darkness; Severe Censorship and Life Under Pressure for Citizens.
Local sources in Kunduz province say that while armed clashes are ongoing in some areas, the Taliban are seriously preventing the publication and coverage of these events in media and social networks.
According to these sources, the information environment is under strict control, and realities on the ground are difficult to leak out.
Residents of Kunduz complain of heavy and comprehensive military, economic, psychological, and cultural pressures, and say that daily life has reached a critical stage.
According to them, poverty and hardship have increased, and some people, while trying to secure basic food, face harsh treatment, beatings, humiliation, and insults; a situation that has significantly increased public anger and dissatisfaction.
At the same time, reports indicate a lack of transparency in Taliban judicial structures and the spread of corruption, including bribery and abuse of authority.
Local sources say that strict controls over people’s lives have reached their peak, and an atmosphere of fear and distrust has overshadowed society; a situation that has created serious uncertainty about the future of Kunduz.
