Speaking to a crowd of locals, Haqqani stressed that leaders should not humiliate or condemn citizens, and that a government should foster trust, justice, and stability among the people.

Declining Internet Quality as Users Complain of Company Inefficiency and Taliban Restrictions

13th December, 2025 · admin · Leave a comment

8am: Some residents of Kabul say that following the Taliban decision to cut fiber-optic internet in Afghanistan, the quality of internet services across the country has deteriorated. They add that this decline has disrupted their daily activities. According to them, they have repeatedly raised these challenges with internet service providers, but the companies have cited “the existence of recent Taliban filters and restrictions” as the reason for their inability to improve services. Kabul residents also say that telecommunications companies in Afghanistan are not responsive to complaints and have taken no effective measures to improve coverage and service quality.

Khalil Haqqani’s Mysterious Killing, A Year On, & the Deal That Freed Him

12th December, 2025 · admin · Leave a comment

Khalil Haqqani

Afghanistan International: In August 2007, a Pakistani helicopter transferred about 27 detainees to Dera Ismail Khan before proceeding to Wana. One of the detainees on board was Khalil-ur-Rahman Haqqani. Last year, on December 11, he was killed by an ISIS suicide bomber inside his ministry, yet the ambiguous aspects of that incident remain unclear even after one year. A year after his death, Taliban authorities have not disclosed the findings of their investigation or identified those responsible for the attack. One of the central mysteries surrounding the incident is how the suicide bomber entered the ministry building undetected and why the security scanner was not functioning at the time. Although the Taliban officially attributed the attack to ISIS and the group claimed responsibility, the circumstances of the killing remain unclear. Click here to read more (external link).
