The BBC reports how Afghanistan’s Taliban-run administration is reshaping daily life, focusing on changes seen through interviews and observation of senior figures and institutions about five years after the Taliban’s return to power. The coverage highlights issues the group is addressing inside homes and communities, including rules around divorce, family life, and the ways people use technology.
The report describes how smartphones and other digital tools are being handled as the Taliban seeks to regulate public behaviour and information. It frames these themes as part of broader efforts to impose social and administrative control across the country.
Different outlets reuse the same core BBC report, with headlines emphasizing “divorce, smartphones and control.” While the shared framing points to governance and personal freedoms, the available extracts do not provide additional independent details or conflicting claims beyond the BBC’s overall focus on how the Taliban runs Afghanistan.
