JALALABAD, Afghanistan — A women-run radio station in Afghanistan’s northeast has been shut down for playing music during the holy month of Ramadan, a Taliban official said Saturday.
Sadai Banowan, which means women’s voice in Dari, is Afghanistan’s only women-run station and started 10 years ago. It has eight staff, six of them female.
Moezuddin Ahmadi, the director for Information and Culture in Badakhshan province, said the station violated the “laws and regulations of the Islamic Emirate” several times by broadcasting songs and music during Ramadan and was shuttered because of the breach.
...
Station head Najia Sorosh denied there was any violation, saying there was no need for the closure and called it a conspiracy. The Taliban “told us that you have broadcast music. We have not broadcast any kind of music,” she said.

Many journalists lost their jobs after the Taliban takeover in August 2021. Media outlets closed over lack of funds or because staff left the country
...
The Taliban have barred women from most forms of employment and education beyond the sixth grade, including university.

Who cares?
I agree. That’s what they want. So they deserve it. We have drones so if we need to kill Johnny Jihad, then we will do that. Otherwise, if they want to behead a woman for not wearing a burqa, that’s none of our business.
Too bad, so sad.
NOT our problem.
We created more than enough.
If 20 years and a trillion of help can’t fix it, nothing will. You gals are 50% of the population and those murdering Taliban guys are your sons. You all fix it yourselves. Bye.
“ Who cares?”
Correct! Its a tough scene in Afghanistan, can’t blame a poor Jihadist from trying to get a head.
We need to overthrow that brutal and corrupt government and install a new government there who will support the freedom aspirations of the people, and integration into the global rules based order!
Wait.....what’s that you said?
Oh. Nevermind.
We have no right to criticize them. They have the right to do this. Let’s respect their decision and shut up and mind our own business.
Indeed, and if you were to be thrown in jail or have your livelihood taking away on a whim, you wouldn't want anyone criticizing that and would hope they would stand up for the "rights" of the people coming after you unjustly.

So, what is music?
Whistling?
Singing?
Reciting poetry with a cadence?
What if I Fart three toots in a row?
So be it. It’s their country.
