KABUL (HRNW) – As Taliban fighters entered Kabul on the evening of August 15, executives at Afghanistan’s biggest independent TV network had a tough decision to make: stay on-air or go dark.
Tolo kept broadcasting, but like the rest of the country’s TV and radio stations, it now faces a tough and uncertain future under the Taliban, whose return has sent fear coursing through the media.
The Taliban killed and threatened journalists throughout its 20-year insurgency.
During their 1996-2001 regime, TV and most entertainment were banned, and there was no media to speak of.
