Street rallies held as Taliban government marks five years ruling Afghanistan

Hundreds of people gathered in a rally in Afghanistan to mark the five-year anniversary of the Taliban's rule. This event highlights the Taliban's ongoing efforts to assert control and impose their strict laws on the country. The presence of only men in the parade of athletes, due to the ban on women participating in sports, underscores the Taliban's restrictive policies towards women's rights and freedoms. This development is significant for markets and the economy as it reflects the Taliban's influence on the country's social and cultural landscape.

Why it matters

The Taliban government has maintained control in Afghanistan for five years, indicating a stable but tense situation. This stability may lead to a sense of normalcy for the local population, but the international community remains cautious.
