Remember when Sultan Erdogan I cracked down on the independent news sites, and suddenly they were all singing the government tune? It’s starting in Afghanistan.
[KhaamaPress] In a welcoming move, the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...has started removing cement barricades erected on the streets of Kabul aimed at preventing attacks on the government facilities.
The process which started Sunday, August 22, the Kabul municipality personnel removed barriers erected in front of the defense ministry.
The barricades had dramatically narrowed the streets of Kabul and were said to be the biggest cause behind bumper-to-bumper traffic in the city which had created major problems for the citizens.
The barricades were not only put by the government in front of every government facility, but were also improvised by warlords, MPs, ministers, commanders, and foreign embassies and organizations so that they secure their residence.
The biggest city of Afghanistan-Kabul was also the most congested city in which it took hours in peak hours-eight to four- to drive a distance that would normally take minutes.
Clogging the roads for 20 to 30 minutes for a high-ranking official, MP, minister, or commander to cross was another problem for the folks of Kabul which has not been noticed since the Taliban took power.
The initiative was firstly conducted in Jalalabad city of eastern Nangarhar
The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country..
