Kabul, 20 February 2024, Tuesday

The Taliban who are ruling Afghanistan are announcing new decrees from time to time. Now, as part of a new order, a two-and-a-half-decade-old law is said to have been re-implemented.

This law has been implemented in the city of Kandhar in Afghanistan and according to which no photo or video of a living person can be taken. The directive issued to officers of civil and military departments said to avoid taking pictures of living persons in official or unofficial meetings. Because it does more harm than good. However, text as well as audio is allowed in meetings. The spokesperson of Kandhar Governor said that this ban is for the government department and thus it will not apply to the public or the media.

This law is reminiscent of two-and-a-half-decade-old times. Between 1996 and 2001, television was banned in Afghanistan, and even then photography of living persons was prohibited.

Most of the new laws enacted by the Taliban since taking over are women-oriented. For example, in November 2022, women were banned from entering parks and gyms in Kabul, and in December 2022, the Taliban also banned women from going to university. In January 2023, the province of Balkh banned female patients from being treated by male doctors, and in July 2023, the Taliban enforced a month-long ban on all women's beauty parlors.

The central mountainous region in Nepal is considered their home. which is near the Himalayas and the southern Terai plains of Nepal. The Raute people live in temporary houses covered with cloth over wood. However, since they live completely cut off from the rest of the world, it becomes difficult to find their abode. The men of the Raute community are adept at hunting monkeys. Once they have followed a monkey, they do not return without hunting. The Raute people sit around a fire at night in winter. What is new is that they consider it a sin to grow seeds in the soil, so instead of farming, they use the grains found naturally in the forest as food. Every day women and children bring grain bearing plants and extract grains from them. They also eat fruits and vegetables that grow naturally. This nomadic species does no
