Such outdated policies are not only holding Afghanistan back but are also creating a growing divide between the country and the international community. The Taliban’s censorship of media is a significant roadblock in fostering diplomatic relations. By silencing voices and suppressing the Afghan media, the government is preventing the world from seeing the reality of life under Taliban rule. Media, particularly visual storytelling,…
