The Taliban has dissolved Afghanistan’s two election commissions as well as the state ministries for peace and parliamentarian affairs.
Bilal Karimi, deputy spokesman for Afghanistan’s Taliban-run government, said the country’s Independent Election Commission and Electoral Complaint Commission have been dissolved.
He called them “unnecessary institutes for the current situation in Afghanistan”. He said if there is a need for the commissions in the future, the Taliban government can revive them.
The international community is waiting before extending formal recognition to Afghanistan’s new rulers. They are wary the Taliban could impose a similarly harsh regime as they did when they were in power 20 years ago – despite their assurances to the contrary.
Both elections commissions were mandated to administer and supervise all types of elections in the country, including presidential, parliamentary and provincial council elections.

Mr Karimi said the Taliban also dissolved the Ministry for Peace and the Ministry of Parliamentarian Affairs. He said they were unnecessary ministries in the government’s current structure.
The Taliban had previously shut down the former Women’s Affairs Ministry.

Pakistan is already in the stone age with jahils... Have you ever heard of the Sharif's the Zardari, the Pakistani Judiciary?

Would love to see the justification by PM IK for this move by Taliban.

 

[Jungibaaz]

Well, they are drafting a new constitution, so I suppose this means they will have some form of ameer ul momineen as the executive and some shura as the cabinet branch, then decentralised systems (non-legislative?), and the courts structure will be SC + provincial + local jirga style.

So basically, Afghanistan won't be anywhere near a democracy. Not even legislative democracy. Some countries elect parliamentarians, but their executives are dictators or royal family members etc. Taliban won't even have this type of minimal election requirement.

All in all, it sounds to me to be a recipe for disaster and prolonged civil war. Taliban can't govern the country alone, without representative leadership (best done via democracy), Afghanistan can't be governed. Let's see if they find an alternative.

Till date, there is not a single news, where Taliban have been able to do something good for the people of Afghanistan. They don't seem to be in a mood to rule, for long.

Not the only system, but it works well. Allows people to become smart enough to govern themselves. It's especially effective when countries can't rely on giant oil or gas reserves to placate the masses, don't have massive internal markets, or in the case of a country like Pakistan - are made up of smaller constituent nations, ethnicities, polities etc.

Laugh my azz off... allows people to become smart? this is the most ludicrious comment I have seen before.. Is China a Democracy? Is the UAE, KSA, Bahrain, Brunei, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman etc etc Democracies? Is Egypt Democracy? Is Morocco Democracy? Is Iran democracy? Democracy is overrated as fuk. Humans can live in any way system they prefer as long as there is rule of laws ethablished.. So please spare me from that overused analogy and propaganda it seems like I am watching a western tv-commericial I Have heard this to many times

 

[Imran Khan]

I did say it's not the the only system, and I also mentioned that it's easy to go without people's representation when you float on oil/gas, countries in bold are either totally reliant or heavily reliant on those streams of income. I would bet that should oil money dry up and LNG become worthless, GCC royal families wouldn't last five years with their current power structure.

You should read and take your time before firing off a reply, two clearly addressed points you've missed here.

Democracy is not the only way to structure politics, but it's a good way to have political power be representative and fluid. Without representation, you are asking for civil war and strife, take our example and 1971 as a simple case study. Without fluidity in representation, or active blocking of people's will, the only system for change becomes revolution, war, insurgency etc. You either allow people to change their circumstances and their wants via a system, like democracy or something else, or you force them to find alternative and often violent means.

Instead of making empty comments about it being "overrated", please present some credible criticisms, and alternatives to democracy. Let's hear what you have to say.

But, I don't think, they would succeed. It is an altogether different world. I believe that either they would change and modify or lose the power.

The country will have an Amir something similar to China's meritocracy selection which is selecting the most capable leader by the jury and honestly this type of system is much better than the one in Pakistan which is allover the place.. You have incompetent folks like Bilawal active in Pakistani politics that is just crazy
