                Afghanistan praktisch ohne Netz

      Für den Extremfall Taliban gilt grundsätzlich das Gleiche wie in  
allen Staaten dieser kleinen Welt: Je stärker irgendeine Religion im  
Staat verankert ist, desto weniger Freiheit der Kommunikation  
erhält der Untertan.

The Taliban has prohibited for Afghans the use of Internet and  
obliged public officials to wear black turbans. The Frontier Post  
newspaper reports that until now computers linked to the world web  
were found in only two ministries -- information and foreign affairs,  
as well as the office of the governmental new agency Bakhtar. The  
news agency and the military command of the so-called Taliban  
militia /the Kabul regime's army/ had their own sites. Now even  
these sources of information on domestic life are being closed: the  
Muslim theologians -- mullahs and ulemas, who came to power in  
1996 -- are enforcing their Medieval norms and Islamic canons in  
their own orthodox interpretation. Now in the Taliban-controlled  
territory of Afghanistan nobody may use electronic mail. This, too,  
is designed to bar the population from "the pernicious influence of  
the satanic west", reads the decree. The second decree of mullah  
Omar obliges all public officials to wear black turbans as a  
distinction uniform. They also have been obliged to fill out all  
documentation in black ink. Earlier, the Taliban leadership obliged  
all teachers and students in universities to wear black turbans.  
Without them students were not allowed to attend classes or were  
ousted from the few remaining higher schools. Islamisation of the  
country is in full swing. This year the machine of state, including  
the army and the police, was exposed to total purge. Thousands of  
officials, who used to be faithfully serving the Taliban regime, have  
been fired and replaced by fanatic graduates of theological  
seminaries, madrasahs...
