Following the fall of Kabul in mid-August 2021, the situation of Afghan media and the freedom of speech worsens every day. The Taliban has imposed strict rules on journalists and media outlets and has tightened the space for them. Findings by Reporters without Borders show that at least 231 media outlets have been closed and over 6,400 journalists and media workers, including women, have lost their jobs under Taliban rule in the last nine months.
