The Taliban government in Afghanistan is marking five years in power with military parades and celebrations. The group seized power in Kabul five years ago, following the US withdrawal.
The anniversary comes amid criticism over the Taliban's restrictions on women and girls, economic hardship, and international isolation. According to RFI English, the country's worsening human rights record has drawn sanctions and aid cuts.
The Taliban's return to power has led to a humanitarian emergency in Afghanistan, with millions of children facing starvation and women and girls stripped of their rights. Egypt Independent reports that humanitarian aid has been dramatically cut by international donors, with women and girls bearing the brunt of those cuts.
