The US retreat from Afghanistan could create chaos
Journalists in Afghanistan face increasing violence and murder, with female journalists ceasing to work in the provinces. The rapid withdrawal of US military forces is exacerbating violence and terror, raising the risk of Taliban-imposed rule with strict religious laws, media bans, and prohibitions on women working. The recent murders of three Enikass TV employees in Jalalabad highlight the dangers. Hundreds of female journalists have left the profession due to threats. The Taliban, emboldened by a peace deal with the US, are behind most attacks on journalists. The US proposal for Afghanistan's future, including a transitional government involving the Taliban and an Islamic legal council, raises concerns about the disregard for human rights and the potential return to oppressive Taliban rule.

Malmö feels more and more like home for the city of refuge authors
Nilofar Langars and Mukhtar Wafayees, investigative journalists from Afghanistan, faced violence and death threats in one of the world's most dangerous countries. Their controversial wedding, which included 200 street children as guests, gained significant attention on social media. In the winter of 2019, they arrived in Sweden, making Malmö their new home and embracing the local culture and language. The couple appreciates the sense of freedom in Malmö and the focus on human rights and equality, especially for their daughter born into this society.
Afghanistan's Hazaras fear Taliban's Islam
Mukhtar Wafayee, an Afghan journalist living in Malmö, expresses concern over the fate of the Shia Muslim Hazara minority in Afghanistan amidst peace negotiations between the Afghan government and the Taliban. Recounting a Taliban massacre in 1998, Wafayee highlights the historical oppression of Hazaras by the Taliban and other Islamist groups. Despite hopes for a more inclusive Taliban, recent statements from their negotiation team in Qatar suggest a continued denial of the Shia religion. The article underscores the fear of Hazaras facing a repeat of past atrocities and the Taliban's strict and violent interpretation of Islam.
The deteriorating situation of freedom of expression in Afghanistan
The article discusses the challenges faced by journalists in Afghanistan post-Taliban era, highlighting the initial positive impact of freedom of expression and the subsequent decline due to government hostility, self-censorship, and threats from local powers and Jihadi groups. The author emphasizes the need for better security and support for independent journalists to ensure the future of Afghan media.
