Members of the extremist organization allowed port games to be held in the capital and resumed domestic flights, in an effort to produce a display of normalcy.


The Taliban today (Sunday) signaled for the first time the return of life in Afghanistan to its trajectory when its people first allowed the operation of Kabul International Airport for domestic flights, to the cities of Kandahar and Mazari-Sharif.



Moreover, the organization sought to show some appointment from their positions in the past and allowed, and even sponsored, two cricket matches in the Afghan league between the Peace Lovers and the Defenders of the Nation teams, new names given by the Taliban to the mud restrained men. Taliban supporters who arrived with the Afghan national flag and the Taliban flag also made some compromises with the national flag, which had previously been banned by the organization.

In addition, the organization claims that commercial life in the capital Kabul and the second largest city in the state of Kandahar, has been restored to normal and that several border crossings have been opened for the movement of goods to a drought-stricken country suffering from a continuing economic recession.

Along with the organization's attempt to convey that the country is returning to a normal routine of life, the cruelty of the organization's members and its uncompromising ideology are emerging below the surface.

Today, Taliban police fired tear gas at women protesting against Taliban's discriminatory religious laws and demanding equal rights under the law.

Yesterday, members of the organization staged a similar demonstration with beatings and arrests.

In addition, in a case of horrific violence in the city of Prozhukh, the capital of Gur province, a pregnant policewoman was murdered in front of the eyes of her relatives in broad daylight by Taliban personnel.

The organization was quick to deny the allegations and the organization said: "The woman was killed due to a personal conflict or some other reason", but family members claim that it was the Taliban who came to her home and shot her to death.

The policewoman, his son Nagar, worked as a commander of a prison unit in a local prison, where apparently Taliban men captured by the Afghan army have also been held in recent years.

Carpenter's relatives claim she was eight months pregnant when she was murdered.

The Taliban insists it has ordered its people not to take revenge on former administration workers, but women, especially in positions considered particularly masculine, feel a special threat from the new regime and many have been fleeing the country in recent weeks.
