Taliban Bans All Political Parties in Afghanistan
Since returning to power in August 2021, the Taliban* has gone on a banning spree, imposing restrictions on women's education and employment, besides prohibiting all forms of music and dance in Afghanistan.
The Taliban announced a ban on all political parties in Afghanistan on Wednesday, stating that they were not running their operations in accordance with Sharia, hence making their existence "unnecessary" in the Islamic Republic.
Abdul Hakim Sharaee, who serves as the Minister of Justice in the Taliban regime, confirmed the development to media persons in Kabul.
"Political parties do not have a Sharia basis, nor are they in the interest of the nation, nor does the nation want it. Experience has shown that the current
destruction of the country is due to the country's political parties," he said.
For two decades, from 2001 to 2021, many political parties flourished under Afghanistan's democratic system, which collapsed after the Taliban took control of Kabul two years ago.
These political parties fought three presidential polls against each other in 2004, 2009, and 2014.
What Else is Banned in Afghanistan?
The Taliban's latest move is part of a long list of embargoes it has announced in the impoverished South Asian nation in the last two years.
Among the restrictions that it has imposed, is a complete ban on
women's employment and education except primary school.
Moreover, females are barred from going to gyms, restaurants, parks, and hotels.
Plus, all kinds of music, dance, and other cultural activities have been banned in the country.
*The Taliban is under UN sanctions over extremism.
