Kabul, Ta. Monday 9 August 2021

Taliban terror has resurfaced in Afghanistan since the withdrawal of US troops. Now the Taliban have crossed all limits of cruelty. Taliban militants killed a young woman because she was wearing tight clothes and had no male companion.

According to reports, the incident took place in Samar Kandian, a village in northern Balkh province, which is entirely under Taliban control. Balkh police spokesperson Adil Shah said the girl's name was Nazneen and she was 21 years old.

He said the girl was on her way to Mazar-e-Sharif, the capital of Balkh, from her home. She was just getting out of her house and into the car when she was shot dead by terrorists. Police said the girl was wearing a veil. The Taliban, however, has denied the allegations.

The girls are being abducted by the Taliban

The Taliban's grip on Afghanistan is growing. Atrocities against young women and girls are also on the rise. The Taliban are kidnapping young girls and women their terrorists are forcibly marrying them.

Occupying a new area or city similar to the Taliban, it also announces to hand over to them the wives and widows of police personnel and government employees from the mosque.

There is fear among families over the rise of the Taliban and they are sending women and girls from their homes to safer places in Kabul to protect them from terrorists.

There have been cases of forced marriages with women in the Takhar and Badakhshan regions of Afghanistan. The case was similar in Bamyan province. However, Afghan forces have pushed the Taliban out of Bamyan.
