‘No Concept of Political Parties in Sharia’: Taliban Bans Democracy in Afghanistan
The Taliban in Afghanistan banned all political parties in the nation citing the Sharia and saying that such activities are against Islamic law. This new jolt to the fight for restoration of democracy and polity comes a day after the Taliban marked the second anniversary of the takeover of Kabul.
People have also pointed out that now foreign relief and aid will be hard to come by as this new development will not be accepted by the global community who will then restrict grants and aids.
At least 70 major and small political parties were formally registered with the Afghanistan justice ministry till 2021 but after Taliban reclaimed control of war-ravaged Afghanistan and subsequent withdrawal of US forces, the political system in the nation fell apart.
Taliban has curbed freedom of association, assembly and expression to suppress criticism against the government but it allows its supporters to enjoy these rights.
They have banned girls from attending schools beyond the sixth grade. Afghan women have been banned from work and public life. Women now face restrictions even when it comes to self-care and beauty as salons have been closed.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
