The rivalry between the Afghan government and the Taliban has been on full display during the COVID-19 pandemic, as the two sides are locked in an unofficial competition over who has the better health policy, The Washington Post reports. And so far, the Taliban appears to be winning out.

Esmatullah Asim, a provincial council member from Wardak province, told the Post the Taliban has been more effective in dealing with travelers crossing the border from Iran, which has experienced the worst COVID-19 outbreak in the region. The Taliban quarantines everyone who passes through, he said, while the government only quarantines those showing symptoms at the border.

"The Taliban quarantine is much better than the government," said Asim. "They stop the vehicles, telling passengers how to prevent the spread of the virus."

The U.S. State Department has also acknowledged the Taliban has done an effective job handling the pandemic.


The Taliban has additionally dispatched health teams to deliver gloves, soaps, and masks to people in areas under its control in Afghanistan. But despite all that, they haven't ceased their attacks during the pandemic, blaming Kabul for forcing their hand.

Kabul regime gets dictates from Iran, why would they close their lifeline?

Kabul regime is no longer the golden cow it was for the Obama administration. The USA is playing both sides now. They would have saved themselves a lot of problems if they just kept the war in Afghanistan limited to focus on Al Qaeda.

Very impressed.

Seriously.

Confirms a lot I've heard about the internal dynamics in Afghanistan from some of my batchmates who've spent significant time there.

With both sides.

The joys of being Indian.

Pakistan government and Taliban suggestions for international televised trial for Osama was not acceptable to the US, instead they just launched missiles into Afghanistan with Iranian provided coordinates and threatened Pakistan to stay out.

The push for war was strong for the US, it opened up further destabilization in the Muslim world, which was catching up to the West.
 
yah din bhi aana tha..
Time for India to step in ... Kabulis are awaiting their messiah.they shouldnt be disappointed..

The Taliban seem to be better performing with regard to COVID-19 because their interpreted Shariah policies are naturally "self isolating".

FOR EXAMPLE:

  • 50% of the population, i.e the women of the nation are not allowed to go outside and if found wondering, they are flogged in stadiums.

  • There is no concept of barbers, restaurants, cinemas, playgrounds, and even education.

  • Plus they don't allow female doctors and hence the females of their household cannot get tested anyway because a male doctor cannot test a female for the virus.

  • The Taliban require the houses in which women exist, to have all the windows painted black and closed shut so that no one can peek inside or hear them. This can help by keeping the Haram Corona out of the house.

  • The Taliban constitution also dictates strict clothing guidelines that are very similar to the Personal Protective Equipment worn by doctors in ICUs.

Hope that answers your questions

they will practice their isolation but when will you get out of your herd mentality?

Well...choose between being infected & staying indoor?

Whatever the context, anyone would be stupid to not follow the guidelines during this pandemic.

God what a world I live in.
Now I have seen American ministry tweet praising taliban i am done.

Makes you wonder if you can believe the "official narrative"? huh? :D

You Crack really nice jokes.:haha::omghaha: :rofl:

Thanks.

Here's another one to crack you up.

Indian soldiers (yes, they are there ... out of uniform) and diplomats are protected by both factions of Afghans.

Dies not stop them abusing each other vilely in from of us. But they funnily accept our neutrality and do not grudge us for it.

I think they instinctively know we are there to help and not interfere.

So my joke.

Whenever there is an impending attack, one grizzled Johnny will sidle up conspiration ally and soto voce mumble in Afghani Hindi "Daatar saab aaj market mein mat jaana"

And two hours later there will be a huge blast.

So when you hear of Indians getting killed in blasts or attacks in Afghanistan take it on a stamp paper that our brothers next door have been active.
