Afghanistan Khabar Pana | Volume I | No. 5
In this edition of Afghanistan Khabar Pana, the spotlight falls on the Taliban’s escalating efforts to entrench their authority amid rising domestic tensions and international condemnation. The bulletin covers key domestic developments, including a record number of public executions defended under Islamic law, the expansion of visual media bans across provinces, internal fissures within Taliban leadership, and a renewed push to engage the Afghan diaspora in national reconstruction efforts.
Externally, the issue examines significant shifts in regional diplomacy and security. These include a temporary trade disruption at the Torkham border, heightened border fortifications by Iran, and Italy’s humanitarian resettlement programme for Afghan refugees. Disinformation surrounding Bagram Air Base is debunked, while alarming reports confirm the use of abandoned U.S. weaponry in cross-border militant attacks. Meanwhile, Afghanistan continues to pursue economic diplomacy with Russia, Uzbekistan, Qatar, Kazakhstan, and Pakistan, reflecting a broader bid for regional relevance amid growing humanitarian pressures.
