The last paragraph of the article is calling on Afghans to stay away from NGOs& encourage the youths to join the ISKP and fight against the Taliban.

Reacting to the announcement of the #Taliban's #ban_on_university education for #girls in Afghanistan, #Germany called it "a blow for all Afghan women", #UK "strongly condemned" it, #France labeled it as "Talibanisation of #AFG" and the @hrw named it "a shameful decision".
The #condemnation of #Taliban's decision to ban women from higher education continues.
@SecBlinken was "deeply dismayed" by TB announcement, Canada "condemn this outrageous violation", @RESCUEorg called it "a chilling step backwards"& @amnestysasia asked for reversal of decision.

...In an unverified video, they claimed that they are 35 people and asking PAK Army to provide them safe #air_transport to #AFG (in ten minutes), in exchange for the release of all hostages. They warned to kill all 9 hostages& will fight till death, if their #demand was rejected.
Note:
While it is early to comment, but the wording of the hostage takers in Bannu (using respectful words to PAK army), their demand (to be airlifted to AFG)& the overall scene, seems to be 'staged'...a #victimization drama of PAK& to prove that AFG is safe haven for terrorists.

#AFG Brutal attack against one of Afghanistan’s most oppressed communities. Dashte Barche in West Kabul have been constantly the target of deadly ISKP attacks. Hazaras and Shias murdered inside their classrooms. #NOTJUSTNUMBERSLIVES

#AFG “The Taliban have started house to house search in Kandahar city and Spinboldak targeting people who worked with the ANDSF and former government. During search, they are asking women to leave these houses in the absence of female police and check all sorts of personal
belongings. If they find IDs or find military shoes, they beat and imprison them. People are scared and cannot object. Yesterday, they killed two persons while searching the house of a former ANDSF commander.” Residents in Kandahar city and Spin Boldak tells me.

#AFG Opium for sale in Uruzgan province in Southern Afghanistan. July, 2022, Southern Afghanistan.
The future of Afghan children is fraught with many dangers. Instead of being at school, children can be seen and found inside Opium shops in places like Uruzgan in Southern Afghanistan.
Before the sales of Opium , there is always a tough bargain between farmers and opium dealers.

#AFG A resident filmed this video : “ Towards PD5, towards eve Loya Jirga tent.”
Gunfire can be heard in an area where a Taliban gathering of religious leaders was being convened in PD5, Kabul city. Despite tough security measures, the attack once more shows how security and intelligence failures continues.
Yesterday Taliban organizers of the Taliban Religious scholar meeting had banned “ Cell phones, all types of weapons, knives and scissors ✂️.”
#AFG Afghanistan is to earthquakes, like Florida is to hurricanes. Disturbing reports coming out of Paktika and Khost provinces after earthquake. Some homes on a mountain collapsed as a result of sliding caused by earthquake in Khost.

#AFG Mawlawi Mehdi Mujahid , an influential Hazara member of the Taliban, has broken away with the Taliban after he was fired as head of intelligence of Bamyan. He says 10 million Hazaras are sidelined and disenfranchised from political space by Taliban. Balkhab, Saripul.
Taliban’s rift with Mowlawi Mahdi is over the proceeds of coal mines in Balkhab. There has been a hike in demands for coal in Pakistan after the energy prices went up and the decade-long unmet energy shortages in Pakistan. Since collapse of the Republic, Pakistani businesses
flocked to the north to reap the spoils of an unregulated market and all the coal from the mines in the northern Afghanistan is now being exported to Pakistan at dirt-cheap prices.
