The newly appointed government of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has been taking control of all matters of state policy ever since formally announcing the structure and composition of its administrative mechanism. The new government, which is filled with members of the Taliban and its affiliates, have promised a better future for the Afghan people without compromising on core Islamic beliefs and traditions.
The last time the Taliban headed the government in Afghanistan, the citizens were subjected to harsh punishments that coincided with archaic teachings of the Islamic religion and a biased interpretation of the Quran. This along with the affinity for terrorist activities against other countries of the world including the USA prompted a 20-year-old war that ended in August 2021.
The new administration has promised to ensure the inclusion of women, and other minorities in its functioning but has not lived up to its promise so far. They have also promised to avoid a witch-hunt against people who supported the previous government and also ensured the safety of journalists and artists in the country. Universities and schools have opened but in a manner that has become a mockery around the world when pictures of segregated classrooms for boys and girls were released.
The Taliban government has gone on record to say that they will be freedom for the citizens but this freedom will be within the purview and confines of the strict teachings of the Deobandi faction of the Islamic religion. Deobandi Islam professes strict adherence to the Sharia law which is extremely oppressive towards other religions and to women and children. They believe in going back to the life that was lived during the time of Prophet Mohammed in the 7th century.
The new government has been looking at ways to legitimise the world’s view of the administration and is in an accelerated attempt to bring all major public sector industries under its control. One of the main objectives of the government is to operate and reopen air routes to and from the country. This is to ensure that travel, trade and humanitarian operations can continue unabated.
Afghanistan currently has the domestic operator Kam Air, which resumed services on September 5th and the international flagship airline Ariana Afghan Airlines which started operations in 1955. Ariana, unfortunately, is on the list of banned airlines in the EU and does not fly to countries other than a handful including India, UAE, Russia, China, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. One of the main objectives of the government would be to start operating in more countries.
Our sources within the upper levels of the Taliban tell us that the government is seriously considering placing a bid on the sale of Air India by the Indian government. The sale of India’s flagship carrier to the private sector is the pet project of Finance Minister Nirmala Sitaraman and the bids are set to close on September 15th. This is being done to modernise and turn the carrier into a profit-making business.
