Three years after the American troop withdrawal, the dreams of Afghans are still being robbed with every new edict by the Taliban

The hulking concrete barriers once shielded 'islands of power' for warlords and corrupt politicians. Now they serve as canvases for Taliban propaganda

The British MP's phrasing was unfortunate, but the international community's current approach of shouting demands from afar is pointless

The Taliban's justifications for the education activist's arrest have been nothing but shameful

A 'temporary' ban on female students will have permanent consequences for the country's well-being and stability

The international community can still help resolve tension over the issue within the Taliban

The system in Afghanistan is failing and deserves criticism but there is hope

The world needs to start moving towards a more targeted approach in its Afghan sanctions

To spare Afghans more suffering, dissidents need to choose an alternative path to reform

Aid can't reach people without a functioning government and economy. The international community must realise this

The country's broken economy risks destroying a generation of progress in education

From women in politics to national symbols, the movement has much to figure out, writes Obaidullah Baheer
