Taliban promised reporters money and media freedom

The Taliban are ready to support local media, which, after leaving the country of foreign troops, lost sources of financing, said the official representative of the Islamic Emirate Afghanistan, Zabhulla Mujahid on Twitter.

“The reasons for the termination of the work of some [Afghan] media after leaving the country of US troops are not associated with [activities] of IEA, but with the loss of their financing by foreign forces and embassies,” Mujahide noted, assuring that the current Afghan authorities “” They will do everything possible to solve the financial problems of these media. “

According to him, in Afghanistan, employees of the media “can work freely and broadcast within the framework of the law.” Mujahid claims that “if a journalist in Afghanistan is called to certain organs to obtain information, then this does not necessarily mean the use of torture or imprisonment to him.” “The fears of some international circles are not justified on this subject,” he is convinced.
