Increasing insecurity, suicides, and crime; Taliban government powerless in the face of crises<\/strong><\/p>\n While the Taliban claim to provide security and establish order, the number of crimes, suicides, and violence across the country is increasing alarmingly.<\/strong><\/p>\n In the most recent case, a 15-year-old student named Ali Mardan was killed by armed robbers on a motorcycle in the \u201cShahrak Razi\u201d area of \u200b\u200bHerat city while returning from school. The incident occurred in broad daylight and in front of the public, but Taliban officials have remained silent.<\/strong><\/p>\n In Kandahar, instead of combating crime and insecurity, the Taliban\u2019s elite forces have arrested 15 doctors and vendors for shaving their beards, an act that has provoked public anger and ridicule. Citizens are asking whether preserving a beard is more important than human life?<\/strong><\/p>\n On the other hand, the number of suicides due to mental health problems, poverty, and unemployment has also been on the rise. In Nangarhar, a 32-year-old man and in Kandahar, another named Fida Mohammad, committed suicide due to livelihood pressures and economic stagnation. These social tragedies come at a time when the Taliban have no specific plan to support vulnerable people.<\/strong><\/p>\n In the east of the country, the Taliban claim to have \u201cbeheaded\u201d two ISIS members, including a commander named Abu Bakr, in Kunar, but at the same time, bloody ISIS attacks against the Taliban and civilians continue in different parts of the country, showing that security threats remain.<\/strong><\/p>\n Despite widespread propaganda, the reality on the ground shows that the Taliban are incapable of providing security, fighting poverty, and preventing social collapse; and instead of resolving crises, they focus on superficial control and ideological repression.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Increasing insecurity, suicides, and crime; Taliban government powerless in the face of crises While the Taliban claim to provide security and establish order, the number of crimes, suicides, and violence across the country is increasing alarmingly.
