Taliban warns teachers students not to vote in upcoming afghan elections

The Taliban has issued a warning to teachers and students in Afghanistan not to participate in the upcoming presidential elections, which are scheduled to take place on September 28.

In a statement released on September 24, the Taliban said that voting in the elections is "haram" (forbidden) and that those who participate will be considered "infidels" and will face punishment.

The statement also warned teachers and students not to allow their schools to be used as polling stations, and threatened to attack any school that is used for this purpose.

This is not the first time that the Taliban has issued a warning about the elections. In the past, the group has threatened to attack polling stations and disrupt the voting process.

The Afghan government has condemned the Taliban's statement and has called on the international community to support the country's democratic process.

The upcoming elections are seen as a crucial step towards stability and peace in Afghanistan, and the Taliban's threats are seen as an attempt to undermine the democratic process and maintain their grip on power.

It is worth noting that the Taliban has been responsible for numerous attacks on civilians, including teachers and students, in the past. The group has also been accused of committing human rights abuses and has been designated as a terrorist organization by many countries.

In light of this, the warning issued by the Taliban is seen as a serious threat to the safety and security of teachers and students in Afghanistan, and it is important that the international community continues to support the country's democratic process and stands up to the Taliban's violence and intimidation.
