Life under Afghan rule, two years on since Taliban takeover

Two years after the Taliban's return to power in Afghanistan, life under their rule exhibits a complex blend of challenges and changes. The country's social fabric has been reshaped as the Taliban enforces their interpretation of Islamic law. While some pockets experience relative stability, others face limited rights, particularly for women and minorities. The economy struggles amidst sanctions and a disrupted global image. Basic services are unevenly accessible, hindered by ongoing conflicts and administrative hurdles. International diplomacy strives to engage the new regime, aiming for moderation and inclusivity. Afghans adapt, navigating a transformed landscape while hoping for a more secure and prosperous future.
