This is 100% bullshit. Im from afghanistan and people feel way more safe going out at night under the taliban rule. Under the previous regime (which was run by corrupt criminals in all levels), no one dared to go out past 10pm unless it was necessary. Criminals were roaming the streets at night and you'd always here stories of people being kidnapped,raped or murdered. The taliban regime definitely has many flaws but security for the citizens definitely isn't one of them. Criminals fear the taliban because they can't bribe their way out if they are caught and if a murderer,rapist or kidnapper was found guilty then they are executed immediately. This article is just BS propaganda written by someone who doesn't know the reality of what's going on in my country.

The Taliban controls the heroine trade. It’s okay for them to traffic the poppies to finance their agenda but if you get caught using we will hang you. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Being involved in the drug trade in any country is dangerous business. The taliban definitely still are involved in the heroin trade but they have given many poppy farmers a certain time frame to stop cultivation and transition to something more productive for society. You have to remember the only reason they were involved in the drug trade in the first place was to fund their insurgency. Also the drug lords in Afghanistan aren't "taliban" per se but rather powerful drug lords who side with the taliban because it benefits them.

The Taliban have such a poor human-rights record. Amnesty International has their own category for the Taliban. Let’s not even discuss their atrocious behavior toward their women

How secure do women trying to receive an education feel in Afghanistan under the Taliban rule, bud?

How to say you are a man without saying you are a man, I wonder if women feel the same?

It always is when it comes to these very broadly subjective lists like which country is "most free" or "least corrupted". They are always without an exception propaganda.
This one is quite obvious, the angle is clearly that they are trying to give the impression that the US being overcome and forced to leave its brutal 20 year long occupation was somehow bad for Afghanistan.
The US is a criminal state, currently illegally holding Afghan assets for several billions. There really is no limit to these imperialists greed.
