Taliban bans 'PUBG: Battlegrounds' and TikTok in Afghanistan
The Taliban rose to power in Afghanistan last year.www.nme.com
Absolutely haram.
I mean, I would do the same in Italy,Spain,Portugal and Brazil if given the oppurtunity. Too many putos and putas on there.
PUBG is degenerate, TikTok works only as a tamer version of PH and similar sites.

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
What's degenerate about PUBG?

You haven't seen kids replicating the emotes of PUBG.

Let me guess T bagging and sexual harrassment?

Not to that level yet.
What's PUBG?

Afghans Urge Court Not to Give Frozen Central Bank Assets to Sept. 11 Families (Published 2022)
Advocates for the Afghan people say it would be unjust and illegal to use $3.5 billion of Afghanistan’s assets to pay off the Taliban’s judgment debts.
Apparently the Taliban had a four hour long firefight with Tajik Border Guards for some reason.
No Comments from either side or what caused the skirmish but it's being reported the Taliban fired first but the engagement stopped thanks to negotiations. However the Taliban are moving reinforcements to the area.

In further news, apparently that is just the beginning. Vultures are circling over Russia's "sphere of influence", as Taliban are pulling a classic danegeld scheme on Tajikistan.
>BUT the Taliban now is demanding another 2bn USD in cash and asap, otherwise, the previous agreements will be considered invalid
They have also already managed to prove yet again that those who pay danegeld will never get rid of the Dane, even if the Dane is replaced by an Afghan.
And unlike Americans, Russia can't just sod off from that region and call it other people's problem.

Looks like that's where the rest of their gas for rubles money will go to.

Do the Taliban's even have the ability to do so ?
Let's see... They have a long border with Tajikistan, with the kind of terrain they are used to fighting in, a whole lot of bored veterans, and lots of military equipment they have nothing to do with.
Meanwhile Tajikistan has a whole 10k of soldiers, assisted by about 60k of semi-police forces like border troops and internal troops.
Hard to say if they will succeed, but they certainly can be a huge pain in the ass to them by just trying.

Last I remember they could barely feed the population they control.
I am surprised they haven't (yet) caused trouble with Pakistan to be frank with the all Durand irredentism stuff.
Did that ever stop North Korea from saber rattling?
See, Pakistan is a 240m country with a serious army of over half a million active duty troops alone.
Tajikistan is a 9m country with rather small and lightly equipped armed forces that the Taliban themselves may be outnumbering.
They sure would like to kick Pakistan's ass over the border dispute they have, but even they can see that this isn't an easily extorted country.
And extortion seems like exactly the thing they are going for here, so it is an attempt to help with the money problems.
USA gave them that ability,when they run abadonning weapons.
Pakistan is a much bigger power, so harder to fuck with. Sure, they could conquer some parts of Pakistan, but they almost certainly won't be able to take Islamabad or Pakistan's Punjabi heartland. Or Pakistan's coast, for that matter. Pakistan has a huge military due to it being aware of the apparent threat that India ostensibly poses to it. This huge military force could be redeployed against the Taliban if necesssary.
This is off-topic, but I wonder if the Taliban would be interested in a "voluntary" population exchange with Shi'a ruled countries where the Shi'a Hazaras get encouraged to resettle in those countries in order to escape Taliban rule. What do you think?
And Yes, I completely agree with your analysis here. Interestingly enough, before 2001, I read that there was some speculation about Taliban-Tajik Islamist ties as well.
Throw in some money and they certainly would be interested.
But what countries would be interested in being the other side of that exchange?
