How outlets framed it
All sources: Five years after the Taliban's return to power in Afghanistan, international organizations and news outlets highlight a deepening repression of journalists, a severe humanitarian crisis, and widespread restrictions, particularly on women.
Key divergence: While all sources agree on the negative impact of Taliban rule, France 24 specifically emphasizes the 'suffocating restrictions' and the contrast between the Taliban's claims of security and the reality faced by Afghan women.
