Music programmes and political, cultural and news programming not related to religious issues dry up in Afghanistan as those left behind try to fit in with the austere tone of their Taliban rulers

Taliban authorities in Kandahar, the birthplace of the movement issued a formal order against radio stations playing music and female announcers last week but for many, no formal order was necessary. "Also no one in this country is in the mood for entertainment, we are all in a state of shock," he said. "I am not even sure if anyone is tuning to radio anymore."

"There is no music in all Jalalabad city, people are scared and afraid because Taliban are beating people," Naseem, a former official in the eastern province of Nangarhar.
