Taliban mark five years of power in Afghanistan

Taliban Afghanistan human rights crisis women's rights humanitarian aid

The Taliban marked five years of power in Afghanistan with celebrations in Kabul, claiming to have restored stability and ended decades of conflict. While the group holds parades to project political control, the administration remains largely isolated internationally, with Russia being the only nation to formally recognize its legitimacy.

Despite a reported reduction in large-scale conflict and a rise in government tax revenue to approximately $4 billion annually, the country faces a severe humanitarian and human rights crisis. The United Nations estimates that 21.9 million people will require assistance in 2026, and child malnutrition has reached critical levels in one-third of the provinces.

Human rights organizations and UN agencies have highlighted the systematic exclusion of women and girls. Approximately 2.4 million girls are currently barred from secondary education, and women face strict prohibitions regarding employment, public spaces, and travel without a male guardian.
