Dangerous Kabul: Surviving Terror and Oppression Under Taliban Rule (Documentary)

Kabul, now under Taliban control, is one of the most dangerous cities in the world. The population of four million people face terrorist attacks, Taliban oppression, and hunger.
Before the Taliban returned, some areas within the city had embraced a more Western way of life, with women eating in restaurants without a male chaperone, girls playing football, and families walking together in the markets and parks. That has all changed now. A woman alone is a target, in fear of arrest or even execution. Journalists are killed just for doing their jobs, so the independent news station is based in a bunker guarded by men with Kalashnikovs. Before the Taliban returned there were 700 female journalists in Kabul. Most of them have fled, but we meet Tuba, a journalist aged 26 who continues to work there, despite facing constant danger.
Those arrested by the Taliban risk public punishments. According to Taliban interpretation of sharia law, someone accused of stealing risks losing a hand. A man accused of being gay risks losing his life. Drug addicts also risk brutal treatment from Taliban enforcers. A few grams of opium costs the same as a pack of cigarettes, and the trade in heroin once financed the Taliban. 10% of the population of Afghanistan are addicted to opium or heroin.
Another danger is speaking English. The Taliban see it as a sign of having collaborated with the enemy. Those who worked for the previous regime are in mortal danger. We meet a judge and a soldier who both helped to ensure the rule of law when the Americans were in Kabul. They will never be safe again.

Stop making propaganda about Taliban

[@Unknown_Ooh]

I wouldn't call this a complete propaganda piece as there were quite a few criticisms against the regime. As far as a lot of the interview segments go they have to be positive because there is likely taliban officials and minders standing behind the filming crew listening to the locals. Even if it were on a full propaganda piece it's still interesting to watch and isn't gonna cause any damage and if so it'll be nowhere near all the military hardware the U.S. left behind 😂.

[@user-eh5bh8bo4o]

To put you where you belong , that city was far more dangerous during the NATO occupation of Afghanistan, on daily basis about 150 people were getting killed , kidnapped and wounded . Oppression was then so as now .

[@mandm.444]

People don't believe a word. This reporter saying he is lying, it's the opposite. It's the safest times ever in kabul 3 of my aunts. They haven't been there in like 40.uears just went by themselves. 3 ladies, they felt very safe. They even went to bamyan Just three ladies They're still there. we talk to them. They're said it's very safe place to be. Nobody said anything to them This reporter, he's laying I guess. It makes them feel better when he lies just like the media over here in the United States.

[@feedingtime7059]

These people don't want war to stop. They want Afghanistan to be in a never ending war. Now that they are finally in peace after 40 years of fighting, these people want the fighting ,suffering and destruction to continue. Leave the Afghans alone and let them rebuild their country. The political situation will improve over time

[@feedingtime7059]

The coalition forces were losing the civil war until US came and dragged out the civil war for 20 more years. The coalition warlords forcibly took land in Kabul and built mansions for themselves, forcing out the Hindu/Sikh populations of Kabul. The coalition leaders then got rich from US war funding and left the country with their money and now live rich lives in Europe/ Arab countries.
