KANDAHAR—During a recent trip, Kamaluddin visited a barbershop to obtain the illicit pleasures of clean-shaven cheeks and a fashionable mustache. But the shopkeeper, 25 years old, planned to let it regrow before heading home, wary of incurring the Taliban’s wrath.
His father and brother were caught last month using smartphones in their home district of Arghistan, an area effectively ruled by the movement. The insurgents confiscated the devices, which could be used for supposedly un-Islamic behavior such as playing music and videos, and forced the men to swallow their SIM cards.
Kamaluddin recounted the incident as he waited to return from Kandahar, the government-controlled provincial capital. “They will put me in prison if they see me like this,” he said. “If the Taliban come back, they will bring darkness.”

good
Failed execution of Afghan policy is prime example of incompetence of America’s ThinkTanks and Academia. Basically they aren’t educated or smart enough to advise or lead America on the world stage. Surely not smart enough to be arrogant. Now we are handing 🇦🇫 back to Taliban.
Cultural thing you wouldn’t understand
Not to mention that the recent times track record of the USA is to eventually pack up and walk away. It is only necessary to wait if you are the adversary.
