MOSCOW, March 27. /TASS/. Afghanistan’s government formed by the Taliban movement (outlawed in Russia) has banned BBC Pashto TV in the country, the Afghan TOLO News television channel said on Sunday.

According to TOLO News, the BBC Pashto TV office confirmed that all programs in the Pashto, Farsi and Uzbek languages have been banned in Afghanistan.

After the Biden administration announced the end of its US military operation in Afghanistan and the launch of its troop pullout, the Taliban (outlawed in Russia) embarked on an offensive against Afghan government forces. On August 15, Taliban fighters swept into Kabul without encountering any resistance and gained full control over the Afghan capital within a few hours. Afghanistan’s President Ashraf Ghani said he had stepped down to prevent any bloodshed and subsequently fled the country. On September 6, the Taliban said they had taken control of the entire country and the following day announced a new interim government. However, this government has not been officially recognized by any of the world’s nations.
