The message, signed TTP media commission, Mohmand Agency, reminded the journalists that the Taliban had tolerated this “unbearable behaviour” from 2000 to 2014 but the time had come to put an end to this practice.

The message — “The global war of ideologies and the behaviour of media” — was sent to “heads and members of organisations working for the rights of media members around the world,” including the Reporters without Borders, and the US-based Committee to Protect Journalists. The CPJ posted the message on its site.

Can someone tell those Talibans that there is something called internet and there is something called freedom of expression. Probably there are more active internet users in South Asia at any given point of time then the total number of talibans.
Tell them as they cannot control air or light, they cannot control media too.
